Hi guys and gals. Firstly, i have just discovered this awsome website after months of waiting for Matey-Matey.com to update!!
Hope anyone doesn't mind the fact i DONT own a Golf GTI (i have just brought my 1st car so insurance is a killer :sad:) but i DO own a 1.3 MK2 Golf.
Whilst all of my other friends have opted for the "Chav" Nova or Corsa, i decided to get the Mk2 because of the classic lines and the old skool potential of any early 'dub.
I recently purchased the 5 door, H (90) plate Mk2, and its almost finished now (just waiting to call in a few favors!!).
Firstly i replaced the interior with a full GTI spec, including doorcards (the 80's grey seats were criminal). I have also dropped it 40mm (Bilstein suspension all round) and have fitted 15" deepdish MIM alloys.
Despite calls to replace the "small" bumpers, i decided to stick with them as i think the big bumpers spoilt the shape of the Mk2 a little (what does anyone else think????).
I have also fitted a badgeless grille, with colour-coded eyebrow, clear front and side indicators, with half smoked GTI back back lights and the GTI boot spoiler. The deep aftermarket chin spoiler and finished off with new number-plates, debadged and smoothed back panel and a twin pipe exhaust.
Hope nobody minds about it not being a GTI??? Its still looks awsome though :smiley:
As soon as i can get my digital camera out, i will post some pictures.

Apologies but if it's not a GTI you're just going to have to get out, and cancel your internet. :laugh:
Sounds like you're in the same situation that I was with my first car, mates in novas or bodykitted nissan micra's. You've made the right choice, welcome aboard.

glad you didn't join the ranks of Lax Power mate :laugh:
welcome :cool:

You definately made the right choice, welcome mate!
Sounds like you have a tidy motor, looking forward to the pics. Keep with the small bumpers! Everyone has big bumpers, good to make a change!!

You don't need to have a gti as many mk3 owners will tell you just stick a badge on it and you'l be fine!!
Welcome!! I don't have a vw anymore so you're even better than me and they put up with me
