Replaced the shit knock off ac schnitzer pedals that the car came with for these pedals from bmwpedals

While they were a lil tricky to install they look great

Thoughts...??

I have been wanting to run red mud-flaps for awhile, but wanted to see what you all thought...if it was too much

Good work! looks sick

Finally a good update for you...

Over the last month I have been waiting for these bad boys to show up, and they finally arrived...

16x8 Fifteen52 White Snowflakes, according to Fifteen52 they only made 3 sets of white ones, and you can tell if they are original whites because they are ballseat and not conical...why, I have no idea


Because of the ball seat I needed to get a conical to ballseat washer, pretty cheap but saves your wheels and lugs from damage


Got some Muteki open ended tuner lugs


Because the wheels are offset 30 I needed to run spacers, I chose 12.5mm and 20mm rears



The wheels were slightly used and had different weights on them, no idea why my guy didnt clean them off when removing them, but o well, Ill clean them myself


I used vynal remover, and a scrubbing sponge



After a few passes you can see its working



Finished product


I bought 90mm studs from tuner motorsprt





And everything all together, I am very happy with the results, lowered the rear about a half inch, and the front 4 spins...I think it looks great

The center console looks good! The duck bill also seems to work pretty good too.

Well I am back from Xmas vacation and my wheels still arn't here, wells shit...but I have been had by a fellow R3Ver...http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=260024

I was supposed to have bought the Check panel with the voltmeter, guess I will just attempt making one myself out of the german check panel he sent me without the voltmeter in it...and an alpina cluster, never showed up...and I have yet another euro clock, not the one with the mstrip that I payed for...

^thank god! That was the only thing that was really making me not like the car (missing light)

The VW interior looks like it is actually coming together pretty well.

Agreed its been killing me
