Just bought an '87 MK2

[NickH-D]

Hi all,

the weekend just gone I had a little roadtrip to go and collect a 1987 MK2 GTI, this will be my little project for the forseeable future

I presume I need to have a certain number of posts before I can make a project thread (tried that as my first stop).

The GTI came with some 17" wheels (not exactly the best match for a golf - will get replaced eventually), already dropped on coilovers, had a backbox fitted (again, not the most attractive, may swap it out as a last touch), the body panels are ok considering its age, a few holes and cracks etc have been filled, but been done well, so it needs a paintjob. Also the front and back bumpers are both an ugly incantation of the 'big' looking for a nice cheap set of small bumpers with splitters to swap them out with

I'll save pics for the project thread

My name's Nick, 24 from Bedfordshire by the way!

Welcome to the Forum 

Nice...umm...plans!  That defo has potential and you seem to have sense have you thought about going the standard big bumper route?

[NickH-D]

standard big bumpers is the route i have planned (with splitters), already sourced a set through bigboystoys, just waiting for a little spare cash to place the order
