Ok, then how about we all have just one kit that lowers 30mm no more, no less. Then we can add some hella quads, spray some longbeaches, or even better get some Borbet As or Schmidts (Both) on 9s a debaged gril is optional unless you want a Vento front end... Then we can all look the same and no one would ever complain.. yay! :rolleyes:..

I agree to a point but all this scene stuff does my head in, what is the point in building / lowering a car to the point that you wear the subframe away or you can hardly drive it  :undecided:

I've got a long way to go before my car is classed as a sheep wagon or scene sled as i don't have a single one of those mentioned "modifications". I must try harder to fit in somewhere....

Hey I have schmidts and 9's  :angry:
But other than that it's standard and that's the way it's staying. I'm cleaning it up over next year so it looks like it just rolled out the factory.

I couldn't give a f**k what anyone thinks TBH

Its my car, Im the one that Drives it.

I do modifications I want, i don't follow no crowds.. 

Its one of the mintiest MK3's around.. I know it is because iv looked are at all the MK3's iv seen at the shows. iv looked hard at attention to detail...

and mine gets driven everyday....  it aint no trailer queen and it aint locked away so nobody else can appreciate it. it makes me smile on those days i feel sh!tty.. so any haters can go get fooked for all i care


In a nutshell.. we are all different and to some of us, having a car at standard height is as bad to us as what you feel about how low our cars are :wink: :smiley:

Got to love a mint mk3  :wink: getting rare now.
I also have one of the cleanest mk3's
Im getting beam, subframe, etc powder coated next year along with a good clean of the engine bay and then it will be as if it just rolled out of factory  :smiley:

yeah yours is a great example mate, on my list of faves actually  :cool:


Mine was never a minter till i got it, had no rust, but thats all it had going for it. Iv made the car what it is today and thats one of the reasons it means a lot to me.. a lot of hard work gone into it!!
