So i went to view the car bellow tonight, has a few problems that i am gona be sorting but its bodywork very sound bar a few small niggles and just needs tracking sorted a new rubber exhaust hanger thing and new brakes.
Got a few plans but the wheels look so much better in person so may keep them and just slam it pending arch clearance!

Overall im pleased for what i paid for it!

Hope you all like!

Awesome, you've got one

You'll need to roll the arches for decent lowering by the looks of things.

these are warped though, the steering is the scariest thing though. the tracking is miles out but when u go round a right hand bend it feels really really dangerous, hopefully it will just be the tracking!

Oh, Gary has a mk1 but it's not a GTI (and he's banned)

They're almost as popular as 106s

the red trim for the front grille?

they're not easy to find, they come up now and again, but your best bet is to buy a 4 lamp chrome trimmed grille from ebay (they tend to be really cheap) then take the chrome off and paint it mars red.

I like the standard rear lights, or



those would look great on black.
