very nice, I'm not a fan of the grille, I'd say a standard quad light or a de-badged one would like smarter. but your car, cant take away that it's very clean indeed tho  :cool:

I'm same... but don't like debadged either on older golfs... look sweet though.

Perhaps a tad lower?  :lipsrsealed:

Did have a de-badged grille but was cheap quality and broke around clips- still have original quad grill and lights!
Last pic is how it sits on the coilovers,could go lower but does scuff plastic arch trims as is  :rolleyes:

I agree on cheap plastics  :sad:
Was either thinking of G60 arches or removing plastics altogether?
Not decided as at present like the near standard look  :grin:

Meh, if it were mine i'd leave it as it is (and put the GTI Grille back on)  :grin:  it's too nice to mess with on the outside.

Very tidy looking car mate, keep the work up. Are you planning on keeping it orignal looking or are we going full out?

Bought some goodies on the bay, bonnet struts,front & rear brace struts  :grin:
still have all the standard gti bits and has finished recovering original interior  :drool:
Not sure wether too put that back in or retain the mk3 leather  :undecided:
