Don't talk to me about Vento VR6's - I had a late R reg one in Black with heated black leather and all the toys - I sold it a year ago and have regretted it ever since.
This one is a 2.0 8V, and is nippy enough (although its not running perfectly at the mo). I'm still contemplating painting the whole side of the car up to the swage line matt black, and then putting a black chequered stripe down the line, with gloss squares on the bottom row, and matt ones on the top, to sort of blend the two colours. Dunno if it'd look right though.
The silver MK1 should be going into the workshop in a week or so for the cage fitting - can't wait!

Looks retro enough to me mate, certainly I know of a few people on here who like mkIII Golfs, so a Jetta should be no different. Attractive shape of motor too!  |

I like it! There was a black Vento (VR6 though) at the 'Ring when I was there last month driven by some English blokes, it was rapid and looked similar to yours - sleeper!  Might have a pic somewhere, will have a look. |

Love it - definitely do the matt/gloss split. It'll look hard as bloody nails.
And what's all this about not Retro?
It's certainly well in the spirit of Retro-Rides!
