Monaco meets White GTI

Have to agree - the monaco looks fantastic. The Golf looks good in either black or white not both (IMO of course.)

Thanks guys! Monaco is keeping well. A few blemishes here and there but will hopefully be getting a detail from MagpieV6 soon so will be even better. In the pics, its only had a good wash after a couple months of being dirty, hopefully James will approve now! A bit lucky it cleaned up so well, it was nice and sunny and the pics came out good.
The Golf is awesome IMO. In the metal, it looks really really good. All work is well done too. And it goes like stink and sounds great.
I only want them because they are light, same reason they're on the Golf, purpose reasons only TBH.
Golf without a doubt, its running around 265bhp and on Bilsteins coilovers it handles unbelievably, keeps the speed in the corners, really hard to keep up.
I'm hoping to keep close to it if I finally decide to strip mine and get some buckets in there along with inlets and remap.
No mate.

Thanks some more fellas. Good to see more appreciation for the GTI! 310ft/lbs gets my appreciation!
Unfortunately, not free that day. Will have to make sure to keep a big event free though, get some Monacos together!
It's a JMS-Tuning logo, but you can only get it when you have work done from them.
Looks v nice both of them. Make sure the monaco is that clean for combe mate

The bugger bent back on itself!
still got my hoses to fit at somepoint too!! I'm gonna try and slam it although on the roads I drive on that probably isn't a good idea!! Good to hear about the grip, my eibachs wobble and are sooo crashy it's unbelievable
Hello all, this is the owner of the Golf. I'm not actually 'JclioD', I'm just using his account to post as there is little point in me signing up! (myself, JD and Vish are all good friends).
Thanks for the kind comments about my car, I can assure you that the Black/White colour scheme works so much better when you see it in real life. The car is running quite nicely at the moment, as Vish says around 265-270hp with 310-315lb/ft torque. Took it to Santa Pod and it was running about 13.9 with very tentative starts (don't want to ruin the clutch...it already has far too much torque to deal with!)
Had a brief look around the forum and there are some lovely cars on here. I'm a huge fan of RenaultSport cars, I think I tell Vish that his car is stunning every 5minutes! Personally, I think Monaco blue is absolutely gorgeous!!!! The way is shines in the sun!!!!!
As I said I have a lot of time for RenaultSports....went with my friend in his R26 to the Alpine factory a couple of years ago, which was brilliant. I think it was an organised event from another forum...we got the factory tour and then all went out for an organised drive and lunch. Great trip and great to see the cars being assembled by hand! Upon walking past a crate full of brembo's I very nearly get the urge to do away with a couple of sets as that's one of the main weaknesses of the Golf!!
Anyway, thanks again for the comments, maybe meet a few of you soon if I take up Vish's offer of coming along to a meet!

Haha nice one Chris.
Richy, I can't commit much on the hoses as I had DS2500s fitted at the same time. Cannot be bad though! I'm so happy with the coilovers, mine is as low as speed bumps at work will allow and probably as low as I'd personally like really. I've had some scrubbing when 205/45/16 tyres on the front but 195/45/16s have caused no probs at all. Ride is firmer, notice more of the smaller bumps on the road that weren't really felt on standard setup but I think it copes with the bigger bumps just as well and comfortable as standard IMO.

I love the Golf!
It deserves better wheels than Pro Race's though.

Thanks again guys. Any tips to improve photos would be great if you have any. Really want to get better. Glad the washing paid off, after all the comments! Even people at work have been commenting, going to have to keep it constantly clean now I think.
Bit hard to tell in the pics, but the Golf has a black roof as well, up until the spoiler. So the black flows smoothly across the car.
Good luck mate, let me know what you think after.
They were purely for purpose over style. Much lighter and a noticeably better change in driving.
