after some detailing (euro fenders, gti side skirts, textured top bumpers ect... btw it won't be that low, it's only because there's no frame yet:p)

more to come!

Not a bad start, good rim choice, the rear rim offset is a lil bit much even for a VW. Did you paint the window trim and euro-texed stuff by hand? id recommend masking and cutting it out with a new exacto-blade , theres a good how-to on here.
Good luck and keep up the progress!

yeah i agree i was going to go for a style like your ( just bought this set) and go with some wide wheels but i think i might make some widened steelies of merc wheels or something a little different deff think this car is heading in the right direction.

Try painting the mouldings with airbrush if you have one or with a spray can. Mask them up and spray. With a brush you can see the stroke lines.

Looks good though.

yeah, i'm starting again my paint on it. i don't like the way my molding look like. bought some tamiya masking tape so i'll do it this way since i don't have a airbrush
