Take one VW Derby like this:  Add a little bit of fabrication...   and it starts to look like this:   Awesomez. The build page is here and there are more builds full of WIN in the navigation to the top left. It is in Swedish though... |

That's ooofsome! And they reached that look with not that much of mods. What are those wheels, just widened steels? The black with red writing looks really cool.

Classic off-alicious evidence that stance and wheels are the first commandment of modifying.

Oh My. That is really rather excellent. It needs to be left just like this though (obviously some axles would help) but I keep trying to imaging it in paint and its not working. Am I guessing correctly that they are MK1 Golf arch repair panels being used for the flares. |

Superb. Love the wheels, and the arch/tyre relationship - spot on.

I'd talked my self out of 15s on a Mk1, but that is a truely epic win on the stance front.

A very good lesson in building the car around the wheels |

Total AWESOMENESS
Looks so hard and I completely agree with Mark that a top notch paint job will detract from the hardcore look of this.
I just love the way the front arches curve/flow almost seamlessly into the splitter. EPIC!
