Although some people perhaps thought that the folks ruined the standard family golf in 1975 when they dropped a 1.6 engine into it and created a hot hatch. for others however this motoring evolution led a cult following and... if I'm not mistaken... we are all part of it  :smiley:



Not Really the same thing lol.
 Change the roof mate, Lose the wheels and uve got a good looking motor. Wheels look cheap imo. Go for the VWR black ones, Like FroGTI, And ude have 1 good looking motor.

Probably cost an arm and a leg. Will have to sell the Forum Missus (Gizzy) to pay for it! :grin:
Any idea of how much it may cost? I don't want to rip the roof apart, just it covered with a glassy surface.
You say West Coast Customs might be a possibility. Have you had dealings with them?

need we be so friendly and encouraging to each other  :undecided: I don't mind you not liking it but you are part of a forum and your commenting on other folks time, money and hard work. Perhaps some tactful consideration would be a better course in future.

it's a forum - everyone is entitled to their opinions, just as you are entitled to cover your car in fake carbon wrap tat. if you don't want comments on it; don't post photos.

'One man's meat is another man's poison'.
The guy has posted pictures of his labour and shown great individuality. I, for one, commend him.
We are all entitled to our opinions and are free to express them. But it would be so much more pleasant to do so without a vicious streak and with a greater sense of humour which is sadly lacking much of the time.
Hopefully after tomorrow's election result, we can all turn over a new leaf! :smiley:
Goodnight!

No mate, West Coast Customs is that company from the discovery channel (custom my ride) in the states, but no doubt there would be some similar company over here. Reckon getting it painted gloss black would be your best bet if thats what ya fancy, or gloss vinyl come to think of it, at least it's easily sorted if you change your mind! :rolleyes:
