mk2 Ideas!
« on: 04 February 2009, 03:46 »
hello all! I'm new to the whole vw scene. I'm looking to make a few changes to my car. It's an 89, mk2 gti 8v. got a few bits like dubsport downpipe, supersprint exhaust, gmax shocks and springs (lowered 60mm) badgeless front grill and ats cups. basically i need a few ideas. not really sure where to go with it at the moment so could I see a few pics of your mk2's with a shortlist of the main things you did to it please :D just a bit of a fish around for ideas really! heres mine:





cheers!

What size alloys have you got at the mo, 14s?? I'm thinking of putting mine on a 60mm drop, as the 80mm drop is too low, I can't have anyone in the back without the tyres rubbing :-S so just wondering what it'd look like.



That's mine on an 80mm drop with 15s, nothing major done to it....yet  :laugh: :laugh:

change it to original red stripe grill, put the proprer splitter on (not the mk3 item you have at the moment), nicer backbox / tailpipe, lower it more. wheels are your choice really!

looks like a good tidy car to start off with though.

I'd go along with all of that except for the lowering it anymore.

I would lay the rear wiper flat, then spend my time on keeping it shiney.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

they're 15s at the moment, tempted by some form of bbs alloys though... They don't rub but I've never had anyone in the back as it's only got the 2 front seats in at the moment
