My 'scene' Golf...

[STICKER TWONK]

I'm old, I don't get it, just looks like its either Photoshopped or broken.

 

[Rob]

I was joking. Air ride is a pretty simple concept but as you say, a lot on here still don't seem to comprehend.

I just don't get why you'd make it look broke for the photos? If you have it on air, and drive it around at a really nice level and it looks great, then f**king photo it like that!!!!!

I get no enjoyment looking at it whilst the subframe's on the floor.

 

[leeds_182]

Each to their own. I think it looks cool but i guess the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same shizzle.

Me neither!

I don't get how a big set of wheels from a Bentley etc & air bag suspension makes it cool. They're not real mods imo, you could probably remove them within an hour.

Also, that R32 is a five door - which is plain wrong to start with.

Exactly this. Not everyone likes the same thing!

 

[Dan...]

That's lovely!

I don't see why so many people hate stuff like this so much. The majority of these 'scence' cars are adjustable so when driven they are never that low!

I suppose scene is like marmite

 

[BoatNonce]

I have to admit, I thought the first pic was photoshopped for a moment. It's clearly been done properly, so respect due for that, but stance has never been my thing.

 

[JackD]

I think cars look awful when the arches are covering the top edge of the alloys. Would look 100% better raised an inch or two to hover above the tyre, eliminating any arch gap but not protruding over the wheels.

IMO of course

Thing is, I bet it looks brilliant when it's at driveable height.

Thing is, if I had my car 2 foot off the floor for photos, would you be able to judge if it's nice or not? Ride height can make or break a car, especially with non standard wheels, so I just don't get putting it on the floor for images.

 

[Joe#]

I love it Jake. Didn't know you'd bought a GTI. What brake setup are you using?

 

[Tunst]

Needs a bit of Tyre showing on the rear and it would be peachy imo

Look like R32 Setup but cant really tell too well

Because it's cool and the done thing in the vw world. It's more about show and shine than track action for vw's.

 

[Djw Dave]

That looks awesome!

:banghead:

He's already said he doesn't drive it around like that, right?

My point is, I've no interest in seeing it as low as it'll go, I'd just rather see what it really looks like, whilst it's being used

 

[joshclio999]

I like it, and I like the photos too.

It could look however you want as it's totally adjustable?

^This.

Get some pictures at driving height and I bet it'll look quality.

Completely contradicting yourself there

 

[Rob]

I'd like to know how?

Personally, I think the golf looks s**t in the photos, it's adjustable, he doesn't even drive it around how he's photo'd it, I just wanted to see how it normally looks. Simple

 

[ekaJ]

Look like R32 Setup but cant really tell too well

I love it Jake. Didn't know you'd bought a GTI. What brake setup are you using?

Yeah it's an r32 setup with Tarrox grooved discs stops well.


I agree about the arch over wheel thing on back and will sort it out soon. I could of raised it an inch but that looked weird. Need spacers

 

[Rob]

Normal photos man! Do eeet!

I bet it looks brilliant.

 

[Joe#]

Nice! The discs look huge!

I need to see this

You say ride height can make or break a car, but you don't understand why it is so low.

 

[Rob]

PMSL.

He already said that isn't how he drives it. I don't get why putting a car to an undriveable state makes it good to photo. Sure.

I'm fine with low, very low I personally don't like, but if it can't be driven like it, what's the point? It's just a big ass ornament until you adjust it.

 

[ChrisP_182]

I love this golf! Looks really smart

 

[Pistachio]

Because he likes how it looks like that! lol

Go buy a vw mag and stop thinking everyone should like what you like

 

[Ray Gin]

You don't really get the stance scene do you lol

 

[Rob]

No, no I don't.

 

[Tunst]

You don't really get the stance scene do you lol

Rob Looks young but he circa 40 iirc

 

[.GAZ.]

Love it!!

 

[danward]

Love this. Looks brilliant sat on the deck.

 

[Rubicon_]

I like that!

Quite funny how annoyed people get with other peoples cars...

That's what I don't understand.

 

[Herr Flick]

I'm with Rob. I don't get it. Why make your car look like the springs have been removed? Especially if you can only do it whilst it's parked up.


I like the car and you like it so that's all that matters.
Do you lower it all the time or just for photos?

 

[LaurenTayla33]

Lol! It's lovely.. But it's like posting a standard 182 on edition38 forum..
French & stanced cars are both cool, but 90% of the time neither understand the other nor want to no matter how much you try to fight your point.

 

[joshclio999]

Pics of it at the height you drive it around? I bet it looks 10x better.

What makes me laugh about this whole airbags thing is people go "check out how bad ass and low my car is" then get in, start it up, put it to a height it can get out of the carpark, and drive off.

You and I could both achieve the same thing for photo's sure it'd take me an hour to remove my springs, but I'd not have to spend £1000 on some fancy suspension

Other than the daft low, I really like it.

I just don't get why you'd make it look broke for the photos? If you have it on air, and drive it around at a really nice level and it looks great, then f**king photo it like that!!!!!

...so I just don't get putting it on the floor for images.

You really are quite keen on informing everyone you 'don't get' airbags low!

Everyone has their own opinion, and you don't like it. Many other people do though

 

[ch!ppen]

Looks great imo. Think some people need to remember not everybody wants to race around like they're driving a Cup racer. Granted you could say why buy an r32 then but a GTI isn't going to give you that engine note and interior.

Thumbs up from me

 

[Herr Flick]

It is a GTI.

 

[ekaJ]

Awkward... lol
