Lovely clean cars :cool: i'm not a fan of the splitter / skirts on the GTi but it's not my car :D i'd redo the red pinstripe though, will look fresh!

dont like the votex kit personally, or the red stripes or the 4x4 stance but a clean example all the same, id say the VR looks alot better even if not as clean

Thanks for the comments chaps. That's one of the reasons I like the Mk3, it comes in so many forms and everybody mods them differently. Different is  :cool:.

I appreciate that the votex set up on the 8v isn't everyone's taste and to be honest I wasn't massively excited about either but I picked that car up in a very bad state and turned it around. I had it on the road for just over 2 years then tracked it, mainly at RAF Marham, was a right laugh, it worried some of the VR boys in the bends  :grin:

The day I picked up the VR was massive for me as I had every type of Mk3, besides a 16v, before hand and this was seen as the pinnicle Mk3. It didn't disappoint, sure the stock suspension was questionable with that engine and performance but nothing a decent set of coilovers couldn't fix. I found the engine noise so addictive, especially through 2nd and 3rd, lovely sound. I ended up swapping her plus a bit of cash my way for a '92 Corrado G60, which I adore, love it to bits, so much character! She is currently undergoing some major modifications in the engine department, can't wait to have it finished however much it's bloody costing me  :shocked: but worth it in the end.
