Shep looking good man, any rubbage issues with that stance? TH Monos? heard they were a heavy wheel?

Also how do you get round not having side repeaters for the MOT?

And just my 2ps worth but having had both I reckon It's bit more personal pref, either can look mean or w@nk depends on the associated mods and the skill with which they are executed...

It does rub when going over very rough ground but it's not too bad, the back wheels have been spaced out 13mm so might take these off to stop it catching or get some smaller spacers.
They are 16" compomotives mate!
I'll worry about the mot when it comes round lol  :smiley:
Don't get me wrong i love the big bumper golfs but if the small bumper golfs are modded correctly they can look just as sweet!

Erm, I  knew I knew just forgot and didn't check... No offence intended :embarassed:

Looked at them myself but due to fundage issues have opted to stick with my 16in BBS wheels

Actually considered swapping my old skinny bumpers back from my old golf but were too rusty. Keeping it looking factory(ish)

Will upload some photo's when I get my photobucket account orgainised.

So MOT doesn't mind about not having side repeaters then?

Ah the age old if it's on the car it has to be working, hance why my MOT is taking longer than expected :evil:

Will bear that in mind but I think I'll leave body mods for next year and concentrate on mechcanicals this year. But yeah I like the car man, looking tight.

looking badass functional horney... :laugh:

What's happening under the front bumper where the towhook and plastic trim normally sit? Looks like it's been chopped?
Title: Re: small bumpers fitted (post pics of yours)
Post by: Horney on 18 May 2009, 20:30
Yeah it was chopped for the Big Bumper spots. Should have been removed really. Gonna pick up one from somewhere and swap it over as well as addin a chin spoiler.

NICE... Are those Lenso alloys? I may be well off with that so again, no offence intended... what size of wheels? 15ins? Was wondering what size of tyre you were running to achieve that stretch?

Pretty cool man, let me know if you're wanting to move them on. I might be interested. Depends if I get my contract renewed or not.

 I have a set of 15x8 stepped dishes German cup racing wheels, but they are off my mk3 and need adaptors etc.

Looks good though keep up the good work.
