massivewangers Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Is that a MK3 XR3 splitter? Looks good, colour coded grill will help too! I wouldn't run harnesses with those seats though. Edited February 21, 2012 by massivewangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamXR3i Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yeah think it is a xr3 splitter. Mk5 must be about a foot wider than a mk3 as theres a huge gap and the middle. The seats and belts are only temp. Gonna cage it and got some sparco race seats I had in my mr2 might put in. Tbh I never really wear seatbelts anyway. Naughty I know.
