might be worth getting some G60 top mounts.

looks quite low for -35mm  :cool:

are the g60 top mounts harder wearing then? could it be worth get poly top mounts or will the ride be stiff as fook?

previous owner told me it was 35mm but it may be more. it does catch occasionally when leaving steep driveways.

this colour aint that rare.  nor is oak green.  take a look in the classifieds on say pistonheads..  then try to find a pic of a 'calypso green' GTi,  now thats rare

Maybe, but the colour is absolutely hideous !

Royal blue is one of the rare colours, not the most rare however, but still hard to come by!  As said it was only available from 90 onwards so only 2 years availbility.  Anyone who says its not rare should try looking for panels! :grin:

I like the colour...needs a good polish to get the best out of it though.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
