Has anyone done Tamiya's New VW ?

My model shop has this kit really really cheap at the moment to get rid off them.
Has anyone done it and can tell me what it's like.

I was thinking along the lines of a major lowering job and some huge 18/19" rims from HLJ

A guy in Scale Autos did an amzing one! He lobbed the roof off, lowered it, and used big rims, painting the body green with the wings in matt grey! Looked superb!

Well so much for getting just the VW when i went to the model shop

3 kits later i walk out of the shop !!!!!

*Brought the VW
*Skyline R32 GTR.....was on sale to clear stock...saved $15
*Mazda RX-7R1.....was only $10..saved $35 as some one had brought
the kit and broke the steering arm in half before they even opened the kit from the plastic bag !!

Now the VW.....i have decided to lower it and add new wheels.

Now....which wheels to get.......any ideas?

Ones below are Enkei G-Zero's

I have been having a good look over the kit and it has some nice detail on the engine and inside.

So, how could you stand to part with it? You need to go meet up with Razorgtst and see his, then you'll understand.
