my ek3 build

[SPek9]

New rims turned out really well, nice to see something different and they really suit the car

One of the best builds ive seen, good work! Gorgeous car, hope you're keeping the colour! its a beauty

Thanks alot! Yep definately keeping the colour

I've always kinda liked the black bumper strips to help split up the colour but this definitely pulls it off sweet build!

Cheers

Heres a video i did just to see what the 0-60 was like. Pretty shocked tbh i was expecting around 6.5 to 7 secs but it looks more like 5.5 - 6 secs It is pretty stripped though..



Only really shifting at 7.5 - 8k revs aswel
