you'd probably be best buying one already made, you see a lot for sale or depends if your really wanting to take the job on yourself?
-
oh and prepare to get slated for wanting one :laugh: :grin:

I had one in the late 90's and it was awesome, they don't sem to popular these days.

i really like them on the right car but like you said nick not many people do any more :undecided:
-
I may have one for sale soon which has been painted in black and is mint and I have the recess for the rear bumper to, just undecided to go for the flush or french look :undecided:
-
imo mk2s should be left the way they are body work wise. people with loadsa body work done just screams "boy racer"
spend the money on the engine of your car, thats if its a gti and worth doin of course, i pity the 1.3 tuning crew lol

Any pics of that mate? Sounds pretty nice. If i had the money id get the two badges and the plinth removed on mine as i think that mk2s look good like that but chav with the number plate moved :lipsrsealed:

complete waste of time and effort...i dnt understand body kits and stupidly oversized exhausts, it looks like a toy!
-
tbh some people have more money than sense lol could have got a nice mk2 for what that cost :tongue:
-
No, not something I understand either.
-
at the end of the day everyone is to there own individual :smiley:, I do prefer french tail gates though as there not to over the top.
-
there was a flushed boot piece on ebay last nite. mite still be on cant remember how long was left.
i agree the flushed plinth looks well. alot better on mk3 thou

imo mk2s should be left the way they are body work wise. people with loadsa body work done just screams "boy racer"

indicators deleted
numberplate recess deleted
foglights removed and air vents smoothed in
sprinter wing vent
frenched tailgate
de-badged rear

Well i think its awesome lol one day i will come to you to get a leather re-trim in a mk2 but not this mk2 :sad:

joe,
there is a difference from some who has extensive chav body work done and some one who has done lots of tidy mods. i dont like flush boots on a golf but thats me, everything else youve listed is something i'd love to have done, but i cudnt justify spending that money.
your car is a show winner, end of story, why you care what i think bout flush boots? wish i could have your car, but id change the boot lol :P :P
-
numberplate recess deleted
frenched tailgate

-
Nowt wrong with a flushed boot! Might be taking mine of and putting a standard one back on though as I'm a bit bored of it now and have gone of it a bit :)

technically its not 'frenched' which is a term for sinking something into the bodywork, as the recess is already there, but its generally what people call the look of deleteing the handle etc from the boot lid.

Disgraceful Joe!
The frenched tailgate is very nice tho, how do you get in the boot? solenoid style thing?
-

-
there is a big difference between subtle body mods and chav'y bodykits!!!
-
^^ kinda my point ;)
-
was it expensive joe?
-
I've got same as joes and it cost me £30 from local mk2 breaker, it was on a metalflake green 5 door around rotherham, so altogether including seloniod( spelling?) about £120, sprayed and fitted
It's now black by the way
-
