Very nice. Like the head lights especially.  

What is it?  (i know it's a golf..... i mean what engine)

When the coilovers are on, get some bigger brakes to look good behind those wheels.

I dont like the m3 mirrors though.(well i do)I had them on my mk3 & one morning went out side & this is what i said to myself.....

Why is there two wires hanging were my mirror used to be.  

Some tramp knocked it off..... >:(Bits of dragon green m3 mirror all up the road.

Just mind hao you park.

Looks good mate, luv the front, the bad boy bonnet blends in very nicely. But I am afraid the rear is screaming XR2i at me though. Nice job though :D

I hope not for mr singh's sake.  Still, it's not important as he probably has to drive around at 20mph living in fear of stone chips! :D

sorry ppl, Vix n Jte u might as pay blue lol, Blue post the half the money thou the post lol.

I wasn't bothered about it being a 1.8 driver, it was ownered by a granny. i got alot of stuff to it, conversion nxt year, cant due it yet as i aint as rich as Blue. So if u feel sorry for me, plz send money into the "Madsingh, Help a Conversion Fund" :P

Yep i drive not even at 20mph i get to 10mph and i think thats to fast so i drive like the granny used too. ;D

Blue will let u know soon as i get the car, buzy mate working mate. hows ur one gettin on?

As a nitrous fan, Im also in the same boat as you with a 1.6Mk2, However ive found that the 20vT isnt the greatest option for Nitrous unless your gonna put some serious cash into the drive train, Your much better with a G60 ;)

G60s are strong motors built for ragging, 1.8Ts wernt made to take so much stress, + with a G60 you dont have turbo spool up time. A Supercharged motor is fast enaught Let alone with nitrous, Id take a All motor G60 over a Juiced 1.8T anyday ;)

Fielder: Have you not read this months Golf+ magazine?  It basically says that the 1.8 20v is the most solid engine around today and the internals are good for over 500bhp.  I agree the G60's are strong, but you cant say "1.8Ts wernt made to take so much stress".

Madsingh: Personally I'm not a fan of bad-boy bonnets, but you've done a good job of it.  It's crying out to be lower, get those coilovers sorted!!
