Hi all,
I'm not 100% happy with my car at the moment, although I do like it i just feel its missing something.....
I'm not sure on the colour, thinking about changing it for Porsche Nile Green, Jade Green, Atlas Grey or something like that!
I'm not 100% on the wheels either i'd prefer something like Borbet A's in 9 X 16 ET 15, or Keskin KT1's in the same size.
Car pictures available in the gallery.

What do you all think??
Thanks in advance.

Dude, it's lush :P
*Dubby does a sex wee* :D
:-*
-
are you nuts? BLUE IS A WIKED COLOUR MATE! 8)
your car looks beefy. Get some smoked tints on that pimp mobil ?8)
Try get some black vinyl and cover the 'B' pilar like what ive done. Makes the car look lower
seriously keep the blue.
-
Looking good !!!
I'd go for something polished wheel wise - maybe porsche wheels so u can get the width to fill the arches.
What about a colour coded rear roof spoiler - standard item of course !
But VERY VERY nice ... ?;D
-
shame on you goldy!
you know that your car is the sh!t man. :D
seriously, in my eyes its one of the nicest valvers on this site.
i think that you should stick with the b2's tho dude, they compliment the car wonderfully ;)
but then again porsche wheels would look bang on. porsche turbo wheels?
nice ;)
jade greens a pretty nice colour for the respray.
still got your heart set on the vr6 conversion?
if so, good man! :D
-
borbet's might look pretty trick on there....
fairly easy to polish up to a shine as well ;)
would stick with the colour though, blue does rock. ;D
-
Lol at some of the comments. ?Hehe
I just don't know lads, I'm the type that looses interest in things quickly. ?
Respray the car the same colour then yeh??
Wheels keep the same or Porsche ones? ?How bout well deep dished borbet a's??
I have an Eyebrow which i took off , you think that looks ok??
Rear spoiler back on???
Just having second thoughts about it all and need your opinions to keep me on the straight and narrow lol.
Thanks!
-
keep it like it is :P
-
it doesnt even need a respray :o
porsche rims 8)
-
Lol, it does, it has rust on some places and the paint isn't really mint, like i want it to be. Ripples on the nearside door, small dent on the offside wing, large (ish) line pressure mark on the rear offside quaterpanel and a dent in the bonnet. lol! :o
In my eyes the car is somewhat of a dog, but i cant help being a perfectionist.
It'll have a respray after i've got the engine i want. ;)
Thanks for the comments though!
I think Borbet A's with the centres colour coded to the car. Like Valvers car, you seen that beast??
-
kill those arches.. not keep in the black placky
-
yes i have, jade green?
ive seen that car in the flesh, very mint indeed ?8)
-
Yes thats it the jade green one. it inspired me to get a MkII.
-
its a beaut mate. Keep the same colour- your same as me slightest mark and it annoys ya like hell. Would say respray same colour in the case, but if you got mony to do a VR6 convertion, do that first.
KT1s are nice, I wanted some for ages for my golf, gave up in the end as couldn't decided between KT1 and Borbit As.
you should colour code the arches and stills, take door trim off and smooth ;D
-
Which wheels do you have now??
Not sure on colour coding, i kinda like the old skool look. Might be trying to hard by colour coding!
-
i've just got the std bbs that came on my g60.
Old school is good, but hell dressing her every week, putting black to black on lol
-
looks great mate, not normally a fan of km2s myself but the wheels really go with the car and create the look.
only thing i dont like is the single wiper convo.
Rich :D
-
if that was my car i'd leave it as it is or if anything smooth and colourcode your arches and bumpers. i'm just like you, my car is never quite good enough! i can spend a day cleaning and tweaking it then at the end all i focus on is the tiny bad points. don't go jade green, no hwere near as nice as your blue.
thats my 2 pence worth!
-
Man im loving this dub even more now :D
just read your project thread 8)
as dubby would say....
"its f'kin lush!" :D :D
-
Dizzies sent me some pics of your car, at a set of lights, at night. It looks awesome form the rear - really W I D E!
-
Hey, mine was green once. Fortunately, someone had the good sense to spray it a lush shade of blue :D
-
lovely motor mate really really nice.
-
Get All your sh!t colour Coded mate ;)
-
Def keep the colour mate-may hav to send Dubby round if ya change it! ;D
Dinx :-*
-
LOL all! I promise I wont change the colour! Ok? ;D
It's been a battle with the arches though just to get the look it has. I wanted a pukka job done and I paid a fair amount to get them done too.
As you've seen in the projects section, the car is nowhere near finished, a long and fruitful partnership this car and I have. Estimate about 18 months till its finished. But then as some have said, is it really finished then??
I'd like a few sets of wheels so I can change the look if I get bored or whatever.
Thanks for all the nice comments people. Makes it worth while when people like what you've done.
Colour coded. Hmm, the more I think about it the more i'm tempted. Would save the messing with bumper black. ;D
I'll get it all done when she has paint, don't worry OE colour! :P
-
Colour coded.? Hmm, the more I think about it the more i'm tempted.? Would save the messing with bumper black.? ;D
Ive seen some colour coded arches that have flexed and then the paint cracks. Might want to think about that?
-
^^ means it wasnt smoothed and primed properly, Needs a nice thick coat of plastic primer under it to stop that one happening ;)

Exactly right there mate, like most things if the job hasnt been done right in the first place then over time will look crap ;)
My arches have been smoothed, sprayed and i would never have it any other way now :)
-
My bumpers are now smoothed, Smoothing off my arches starts next week 8)
-
Jade Green rules!!
Does anyone know how to get a car in the project dubs section??

Mike, you need to PM jv or richandhazel and they can set it up for you. :) Don't forget that you'll be obliged to give regular updates and lots of photos, or risk being lynched by the golfgti posse ;)
-
ok cool will do!!
cheers
-
I'll be taking more pics now as I get a new Grill on the 18th. Hopefully not long after that about a week or so i'll be ordering my FK Konigsports. Lower the car and stiffen it up some, less chance of the rear arches getting hit by the tyres again!
Will sell the Supersport coilovers then for 150 notes, to go towards some other mods.

thats a frickin steel? :o
-
Yer i know! ;D
I like to help people out as much as i can. I'm hoping Diz will have them off me as he needs new suspension he was telling me.
Plus localish to me, so less hassle, but as I've now put them in the For sale section i'm looking to see how much interest i'll get!
:)
-
yeah I'll probably have them

-
Lol me 2! I rang about it today and he's keeping me one behind!
I'm bloody itching to spend money I havent got lol ;D
-
WOW!! Your car looks great.
I haven't seen it about though, but I've seen loads of prep'd MK2's. Whites/Greys/Blacks/Red Oxides, probably waiting for a big pay day for that full respray.
MK2's seem quite popular here, or maybe it's only because I own one that I notice them?
-
::)
Your rite mate, because mk2's are the BEST golf VW ever did they are very popular around here ;)
-
loving the new pics goldie 8)

Managed to get the car in project dubs! Cheers guys!
Mike
