Nightlight | VW in Style

Night-Import: Photography by Rich McKee

Let's start off with how much fame the car owner already has in the UK. A few years ago, his Pug 106 was in the 'Best of British' edition of the well known UK magazine Max Power. Yes, you didn't misread what I just wrote or neither did I make a mistake with the information provided by our supporter Fast-N-Modded.
Once again, the owner steps out from the shadow with another sexy car.
Here it is, Jay Polson's Red VW Golf.

One of the appealing aspects of this VW is its color, but also its stance. Slammed on Eibach Prostreet coilovers, the fitment of the wheels to the fenders is outrageous! To impress you even more, check out the wheel choice made by Jay.

Definitely something we don't see on VW's. The 18x8(F) & 18x9.5(R) wheels are
straight off from a Porsche. Now that's being Euro to the extreme!

When you thought it was going to stop with its slick Red body line and aggressive Porsche wheels, take another minute or so to take a deep breath because there's much more to it. Unlike many other VW's, Jay's VW pulls 230BHP with the help of some engine modifications. Seriously, having fitment AND the performance, how much sexier can it get?

Jay's ride is really an eye catcher, not only because of what it has under the hood or the exterior and interior, but the fact that it has everything in one.
"Standing back with flashgun in hand the gleaming red paint against a rather mundane white wall really catches passer-bys attention, especially with a bunch of young lads. ” Sweet car mate ” was one of the recurring comments from the group and d’ya know what.. they’re right, jays VW ticks all the right boxes , performance, stance and looks all in a perfect red package."
When you see something happening as quoted, you're doing it right.

Repping couple of stickers. Loving the 'I 'dislike' Speed Bumps'.
