Looking nice mate... Well smart once lowered.. How low you going?

JJ! · Mar 8, 2005

mean as fook!! loving the wheels - look great on the car!!

_Tom · Mar 8, 2005

Looks nice but you need coilovers for sure! What drop you going for? You could get that silly low. Mines lowered 60mil on 19s and i get no probs

Im going to get some proper pics of mine when my Hella R/C/C/Rs are fitted. Oh and my debadged grill as its being sprayed at the mo......

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

Thanks guys - shell be at least 40mm lower so it should look pretty good!

Thats just the start though...... i have an endless list of things i want to do to it yet lol!

_Tom · Mar 8, 2005

Is it a turbo yeah?

Whats the plan?

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

Tom - i wont be getting coilovers either, im just going for an Apex suspension kit as its a safer option when it comes to insurance etc, plus the ride of coilovers did my head in on the last car i had with them!

As long as the arches sit right on the tyres itll look fine

Unfortunately its just the 2.0 GTi so any mods will be purely cosmetic until the G/F Can insure the 1.8T and then all the good bits will be transferred over all being well..... possibly a TDi if not the 1.8T.

_Tom · Mar 8, 2005

Oh yeah saw your post on uk-mkivs so should have remembered that! Would love to mod mine right up but its just a 1.8 20v non turbo so cant see the point! I would if i was plannin another golf like you though

Might sell mine soon as its just not quick enough. Still a lovely car though!

jamesy16v · Mar 8, 2005

looking sweet mate,il look out for the beast round newbs!

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

Tom i know exactly what you mean - this is by far the slowest car ive ever owned...... i went from a Pulsar GTI-R, M3 Evo, Evo 6 to a Golf VR6 (to save money) and then on to this as were now sharing the car.

It doesnt do anything for me driving wise, but its very solid, cheap and reliable plus Golfs can just look so good they dont need to be fast ;-)

(I keep telling myself that anyway)

Dan_mk1 · Mar 8, 2005

Looks lovely mate! wheels suit it too

Same as me! lol

Mine doesnt seem to use fuel which is nice and yeah they do look so nice with simple mods. Just got to keep hold of mine for another few months and then im thinking evo 3/4

MK3COL · Mar 8, 2005

Lookin good mate...slam it and get the Anni body bits!

Ali · Mar 8, 2005

Other Marquess!! So far weve had 2 golfs and a Scooby!!??

Chris Green · Mar 8, 2005

Remedi · Mar 8, 2005

Looks gorgeous mate, i love the finish on the wheels.

JoelDee · Mar 8, 2005

Looks f**kin mint!

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

The VW Centres are on order

AJ - Sorry, didnt realise there was now an "other marques" section, hence putting the subject "Not a clio".

Sorry anyway mate!

Thanks for all the comments!

Doesn bother me dude, Jus doing sum tidyin work for the moderators! lol!

Stunning car tho, ma Dads jus got an R32. And weve got a Mk2 GTI aswell So im getting to b a bit of a VW Fan

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

Yeah i can see how it happens, i was never into Dubs until i got my VR6 and saw just how good they can look

Its more about style and looks over Performance with a Dub, but the R32 is a lovely car - absolutely stunning!

RobFenn · Mar 8, 2005

Leave the wheels, theyre tidy. Get some FK coilovers on there!

-Rob

Ali · Mar 8, 2005

Yeh but youve gone from a VR6 to a GTI, Dya not miss the power?

nickg123 · Mar 8, 2005

Mate i went from an Evo 6 to a VR6 so i guess i got used to the step down lol.... this is just a cheap car for me in terms of running costs etc.

Its also the most boring car ive ever driven i have to admit :-(

Still - ive had enough fun cars, this one should at least keep me out of trouble!

adamlstr · Mar 8, 2005

Stealth mode?

adam

jamesy16v · Mar 9, 2005

that looks hard as nails!

nickg123 · Mar 9, 2005

Adamlister - thats awesome mate!! Nice one ;-)

Lowering is definitely next ;-)

Any chance you could put the wheels back as they are just so i can see what itll look like?

Nah - lol

Here you go matey

Ad

nickg123 · Mar 9, 2005

Ad you are a star ;-)

Thanks a lot mate, that really gives me a good idea!

RobFenn · Mar 9, 2005

Get a blank grille on there too and it will look awesome..

Ali · Mar 9, 2005

Yeh, was gonna say the same thing...Definetly exist, seen one in the past.

nickg123 · Mar 9, 2005

Yeah but to change the grille you also need an insert for the bonnnet as at the moment it has a small cut out for the VW Badge........ not quite as easy as just changing the grille unfortunately :-(

Will get around to it though, its just another thing on the list at the moment lol!

I also want to get some spacers to move the wheels out a bit more - they look so good like that!

Thanks again guys.

_Tom · Mar 9, 2005

I agree about the grill - Get the one like i have, it comes with a insert for the bonnet and bumper. You just have to get it sprayed. Heres mine before it was sprayed up:-

Type_Mo · Mar 9, 2005

Sweet, But erm u getting VW centeer caps for it m8?

nickg123 · Mar 9, 2005

VW Centres are already on order - just waiting for them!

Tom - Did you get it blended into the bonnet, as i cant stand to have a real obvious looking cut out there..... i want it to be invisible - as if it was never there if i do it at all??

JayR · Mar 10, 2005
