Best looking car in the MK2 section
Title: Re: What wheels has everyone got + pics
Post by: dubber36 on 26 March 2013, 11:55: Thanks for the kind comments, but taste is subjective. To many people, a standard car is boring, as if no thought has gone into it. Let's face it, anyone can do nothing to a car.

I like it because it's exactly what I would have bought 23 years ago, had I been able.
Title: Re: What wheels has everyone got + pics
Post by: Foreveryoungaus16v on 26 March 2013, 12:07: Thats exactly why it will go up in value as it has not been played with or been made to look chavey. If I had

a car like that no way would I mess with it. The colour in my opinon is the nicest to. Good job there mate

Numerous people have told me that it shouldn't have big bumpers on an F plate and to be fair I've never seen one that age with them as standard. Of coarse that's not to say its not possible but I don't know, mine are proper VW and not aftermarket but I added the 90's arches, sill covers and rub strips myself as it had the older big rub strips and no sill covers.
