So, just ordered some panels for my Rabbit (floor, rocker, inner fender) to fix the most important issue on the car the floor..

I have 4 wheel options (wheels that I have) nothing special but I'm still not sure of what i'll do..

1- Snowflakes (14'')
2- Teardrops (14'')
3- Steelies with Mk3 hubbies (14'')
4- Mk2 multihole steelies w/centercap (13'')

Don't even know what I'll do as far as style that I'll give it.. I'll make sure everything is in good mechanical shape before starting to play with aesthetics but not sure of what I want to make it yet

1- Full original (as it is just refreshed)
2- Very old school (chrome rack, withe wall tires, etc)
3- 80s sporty
4- Rat style
5- Wide fender group 2 style
6- Modern racing


So, let me know what you think.. I'm leaning towards Very clean old school...

I'll post pics during the week end, I'm taking off the bumpers tonight..

relieing on people to style your own car is pretty lame.

Takes the YOUR out of your car.

welll, I,m pretty sure i'll make it very old school since my previous Rabbit was 80s sprty.. just wanted to see what ppl like the most.. don't worry, i'm old enough to make my own decisions

Took off the bumpers yesterday night, i'l try to post up pics..

BTW, I'm not touching the body, just repairing the floors.. they're in REALLY bad shape!! the driver floor is dragging on the floor and the rust goes up the firewall and along the inner fender.. I HAVE to fix it, it's not for looks...
