First Mk2 Golf GTI 16v

ok ill check out those bits, thanks.

I want to keep her in as mint as i can so i will do almost anything to keep her that way.

my friend is trying to get me to get these wheels for it but im not sure what they are and i dont really want anything else on it tbh...



Yeah i saw you were surrey, j6 just down the road.

As Clipper said she's been very well looked after.... Someone has fitted a new 5 slot grille,  3 out of the 4 spark plug leads have the pull out tools - rare to see them still fitted & the rear has the plastic cover rare again to find one in 1 pc too.

Just pick up where the last guy has left and don't change anything too much....

There are improvements you can fit which will improve handling and ride and still keep her looking OEM.... Eibach Springs & Anti Roll Bars, Boge Turbo Dampers and get rid of the coilovers, or upgrade to some nice (& Expensive) Coilovers... etc

And for god sake don't put those awful alloys on stick with your RA's... if you want new alloys look at BBS RZ, RM or RS.

Hard plastic scutle trays as Clipper suggested are always a good investment, far better than the early ones that crack when you look at them..

Big sunstrip with mandatory 'motorsport' lettering, m3 mirrors, 18" wheels, the blackest windows money can buy, anodised washer jets, wiper blades and arms, in fact neon lit chrome washer jets, chrome number plate surrounds, aluminium treadplate mats, neons in footwells, electronic dump valve, deep splitter, and biggest bolt on aerofoil spoiler you can find fast and furious style.. These crucial mods are what makes mk2's uber cool imo

That is one nice looking motor, please dont spoil all the hard work someone has done keeping that car in tip top condition,as everyone else has said, a few nice subtle bits would sort her out, all the best with it, you will enjoy looking for the bits you need and i can assure you, you don't find things as quickly as you would like, but thats the fun bit
All the best

thanks for all the comments, it certainly has made me think that i don't want to mess with the car and if i did change the wheels i would just get another set of bbs of some sort. I'm looking forward to being a proud Mk2 owner...happy days!!
