The first things I did with mine were to get the slidey top cup holder, stainless steel pedals (as seen on R and Golf GTI as standard) and an R gearstick which is massively more comfortable and ergonomic than the standard ball on a stick (assuming yours is manual).

Same. Wheels are just not my bag. Not sure of the rear tints either - looks a bit odd cause it shows up as such a difference between the front and rear side panes. Debadging and lowering has worked well.
Main thing is as long as you like it then it doesn't reall matter what anyone else says.

Love what your doing mate, like those wheels but could be a tad lower to really set them off! I am quite low and really want a set of these in black
Almost got a set of pressed plates at ultimate dubs, but I chickened out
looks sweet tho!

Cheers lads! I know the 3SDM's arn't everyones taste however I LOVE them its pretty unique. The tints I think just look like that because of the effect on the camera when I was messing on with it mate. As for lowering it more mate, i'd love to However I really need it to still be practicable as im in the Army and my camp seems to like its Speedbumps "/.
P.S (Are all of the photos showing up for the people viewing the thread or are some not)

You can get waaaaay more than 170 out it.
Unless you just want a tiny gain... I know a remapper who took my pals 140 to 210, you might think that's far too much, tbh, I can agree. But he said as long as its not ragged for long periods it won't kill the engine. Just short blasts now and again is fine.
I've been in the car and its really quick, and it never caused any problems.
So I'm hoping to get mine up to 210 aswell. It's just the turbo and injectors that are being pushed quite far.

70 bhp just from a remap?! Think that's a bit optimistic
