Title: Back in a MK2 GTI :)
Post by: lingl9z on 04 July 2010, 20:46

Hey All, I'm Richard from the Surrey area and just picked up another golf. I started off with a Mk2 golf driver 1.8 a few years back and loved it was the mintest Tornado red golf I had seen.. I then got a split in the vac pipe and it resulted in the car constatly stalling and then starting when the engine was switched off, I then fancied something faster and went for a Starlet GT Turbo (awesome car!) then had about 4 or 5 other cars since then (Mx5, e36 2.5 bmw, 405 GRTD and a 306 GTI-6) I then fancied another golf and went for another Tornado red mk2 golf gti 16v only had it a few days and already in love with it again :)

Heres some pics, hope it's okay to post them here.

Welcome  :smiley:

Nice mk2 that. Put the original 4 lamp grille on and spot on in my opinion. RZ's look good.

Thanks a lot guys, if I can make this look half as good as my old driver I'll be more than happy! I've got a standard gti grill + original light's to go on when I get back from brighton, Seen quiet a few nice Mk2's up here, one with a rallye front end and one with the jetta front end :D
