   ok, well have owned my mk1 r for a just over a year now, not much changed on it really but am now wanting to take it to the next level.
   
   i really like the euro style but am now really liking the rally slag style.
   
   what are peoples opinions on these two styles?

   euro for me, if you have the money then get it done mate, it will cost a lot to get it right, take a look at chandlers car, gorgeous but a hell of a lot spent for the best work available on bodywork, interior retrimming etc

   If you go euro your talkin thousands of quid and your not gonna get mmuch of it back.
   
   
   Track slag your generally spending less and you can break it at the end and make a fair bit of money back

   IMO Euro style only works well with MK2s not MK1s, so I'd go for the rally look

    Yeah its the headlights, MK1s got a more aggressive look from the front which is perfect for the rally look

    fair point, i do think the mk2 is girlier purely because of the headlights.

    spose it depends on if you need your rear seats...if you dont rally slag ftw, if you do euro styleee. Think rallying it up would be a better option tbh
