lose the golf gti badge off the back, lower it 35mm on eibachs (stops the rolling sensations  :laugh: ).
 If it's gonna be a daily driver i'd go for 16's as i've always found 17's on 205/40/17 a bit unforgiving for day to day use, but then Sheffield has the worst roads in the western world. :angry:

40mil drop, de-badge, 17s and smoked m3 rears, that sounds familiar! :drool:

go for it buddy, 17s fit the mk3s arches really nicely and the drop will just bring it down enough. not a huge fan of the mk4 front lights but providing you get all the bumper lights in crystal clear too im sure theyl look cool.

seems like a decent price too. will take some strain off the cabby!

The biggest weight increase was actually between the mk1 and mk2, as we all know  :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway you can't buy a mk2 with any horsepower, they are all battery powered  :drool: :evil:
