Looking good!
Does stand high though! From what i have read, coil overs wil bruise your arse so be prepared :laugh:
Front fogs will set it off also imho!
-
heh, nice!
Yeah he's right, coilovers do hurt your arse.
-
I would imagine having your sh!t pushed in does too, but hey the gays don't complain. :evil: :evil: :lipsrsealed:
Looks mint han, will be good to see it at E38 :cool: :cool:
-
look at the juicy tread of those tyres :smiley:
-
Hmmmm, how about this though? I reckon it's a little more like it.... :laugh:

Well done Han, looking good. :cool: Seriously though, coilovers are a hard ride as people have said and they're not cheap, I think you'd be best settling for a budget spring and shocks set to lower it by about 40mm and save yourself some cash, then when you get your first GTI then look to put coilovers on something like that. :wink:
What about putting some clear side repeaters on too. :undecided:
-
lookin nice that han. Id take the above advice and wait til u get a gti b4 u go spendin loads on this one.
the more mk2's i see the more i want an 8valve! dont wana get rid of the mk3 tho! oh its so tough!!!

Pro you should definately get yourself a MK2, I've had my first one for a week now and it is great. Never had a MK3 so can't really compare, had a wicked MK1 (tears are welling up) but this one seems better so far.
-
i like it, has that clean factory standard look.. the ride height doesnt even bother me that much.
i hope we can convince you to get smoked side repeaters at E38 though.. maybe some smoked rears too :cool:
-
you need a GTi splitter too. I have a gti badge for your grill ;)
-
i weally want the gti splitter... wot's it worth dizzie :wink: lol as for badges.. not really my cuppa tea as it ain't a gti. keepin it simple tbh, just wanna look nice... change of side repeators and rears may beon the cards - still lookinng at stuff to see what i really like.... :: han nips to scrappy... not had chance workin 7 days a week atm!! ::
im happy with it stayin as it is... maybe lower it slightly so i don't have a massive gap above wheels.. but im constantly on the hunt for a gti... ytis what i really want... just happy with my mk2 atm.. initially i wanted a mk2, and i got that... the right one fell into my hands at the right price! gettin on well with the car atm.. so we'll have to see how it likes the ride to northampton, and the getting lost bit!!
proper vw wheels too!!!
i'm a happy girl atm... my car looks pretty nice... :kiss:
-
Got some nice gti red stripe side trims you might be interested in :wink:
Lookin good tho, it is a tidy looking car!!
-
you should see a gti splitter on the weekend! Shouldn't be much more than £5 I would of thought.
-
That and one of those uprated head light looms which i hear are a little special, just cant quite remember who it is on here who sells them! :wink: :tongue:
-
Taliking of which, £20 E38 deal?? i'll have one if so :cool:
-
Looking good hun :smiley:
-
think il hav one anyway providin they work on the mk3

Alloys are one of those things that you can get so wrong on a car, especially on a car like a Golf, but you have picked a set of blinders.... I really like them :cool:
As for coilovers, hmm, very VERY hard... but it really depends what you want... I have had my experience of super hard shocks, and I hate them in an every day car... my golf doesn't even have coilovers and yet it shatters my teeth and it pisses me off :(
if it's just a fun car, then go for coilovers, however if it's a daily runabout, I would just get some lowered springs and some good quality standard shocks... but then again, I am from Norfolk ;) :laugh:
-
eye, me too and the roads round here are poo and any attempt to drive with coil overs could result in a seriously bruised botty! :grin:
