The recipe for putting together an awesome stance build is choosing the right platform that would catch admiring glances not only because of the wheels and lowered suspension but also thanks to the overall charisma and uniqueness of its design in the stock form.
The modified Volkswagen Eos that we’re featuring today is definitel a good-looking car on its own. Add some striking wheels and a low stance, and it will easily turn into a real show-stopper. Yet, its owner Harrison Conner, from the UK, decided not to settle for the basics and went up a notch, outfitting the Eos with a wide body kit and many other awesome upgrades.

Key Info About Eos Convertibles
The car was produced from 2006 till 2015 and gained huge popularity among the drivers from both sides of the Atlantics. Thanks to the attractive design familiar by the Golf MK5 models and the beauty of the convertible body style, it became one of the coolest project car platforms among Euro car enthusiasts and Vag fans in particular.
A hard-top convertible is one of the most versatile solution for those who dream about the open-top driving, yet don’t want to compromise on safety and comfort in the cold time of the year. One of the most affordable and reliable vehicles in this segment is the VW EOS based on the Volkswagen Golf MK5 platform.
The Build
This slammed black Eos that you see on the pictures belongs to Harrison Conner from the UK who was brave enough to start a truly jaw dropping stance project based on this platform. Of course, he is not the first one to put air suspension and a body kit on Eos, but he’s certainly one of the first builders to bring it to this level of style and dedication.

Stance
It sits low on a Air lift air suspension with custom camber arms on the front and the back. To fit massive forged 3-piece Work Equip 05 wheels in the wheel arches, he decided to completely rework them with the help of the guys from the Offset Autohaus.
Wide Body Fenders
Their wide front and rear fenders along with the new custom bumper and side skirt turned out to be exceptionally well designed and look somewhat like factory-made components that never existed.
While there are many air-lifted Golf stance projects out there, this Eos stands out from the crowd thanks to the sexy convertible body lines and sleek custom wide body kit.
