downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 lol rob, your only 15 aint you, another 2 years before you will have it.....

Street Lee Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) f**k 17's, get some 15x8's on the back I had a valver with 15" RA's and P6000's and it handled like nothing I've ever driven before. Tyres were poor in the wet but I dunno if thats just because I was expecting similar grip as in the dry! You can pick supersport coil-overs (adjustable ride height and damping) up for about £250 from Venom so I wouldn't even bother with shocks and springs. If you're going to do tint's just do a light smoke all around, darker at the back looks bodge! Tints will cost you around £150 for something the size of a Mk2 Golf. Half tint 16v spec rear lights (only Hella will do ) and smoked side repeaters will tidy it up, fit Lexus lights and you will be hunted down and disembowled.Seriously though, lurk the E38 boards for a couple of months and your idea's will totally change, as will your definition of a "nice" car, it's all about the subtle touches. Rallye steels and 60mm drop for the win Pinky, gotta love the Polo's, I've had 4 Mk3 Coupe's (one a GT), one Mk2 Coupe and a Mk4 16v Good cars but they don't handle as well as the Mk2 Golf GT's go like f**k for what they are though, I can see me having another when my ban is up as a little "rallye-esq" type car, nice and light and set up to go round corners.Edit: Borbet A's are my favourite wheel ever for Mk2's (yes, I know that's a Mk1...)

JTM Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I garuntee you will not bother doing half the stuff you have said lol. Your 15, its 2 years before you can even drive a car let alone take your test! Once you start drivng all your money will go on runing the bloody thing and keeping it o the road, never mind sticking bits of loo roll to it as you seem to want to do. Unless you are in fact spoilt and your dad is paying for all these "mods" for you I just cant see it happening. Will you be working or in college/6th form?

Tomm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I would drive the green one. Lose the blacked out windows and the sunstrip and I might even pay money for it Hmm, all this is making me want a Golf, or at least a Polo.PS. How come it's left hand drive?

Tomm Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Not arsed. Whatever I can afford. At the moment I'm driving a 1.6 R-reg Mk4. It's nice and I'd love one, but I doubt I could afford one though.EDIT: It'd be under a grand according to Autotrader. Maybe I can afford one after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desire68 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah,the tailpipes were an American style thing of less is more,they tend to stay away from the big bore tail pipes and go for the more flush look! Thats an uprated back box on the 20vT made to the oe spec back box style!,Yep,i'm deffo not making this all up,i've spent a fortune on moddin VW's,been in to them since 1986,my Dad was a VW technician for 30+ years,been to Germany,and Belgium to show the G60 and i imported the Rallye personally(what a fantastic couple of days that was!!) Unfortunately i don't own a VW at the moment,i took a break from them last September when i sold the VR6 Highline and tried my hand at a completely standard and mint example of a Renault 5GTT in silver,this thin is an 18year old brand new car,totally awesome and a nice break from my German cars,but i'm sure my next car will be a VW again when i've finished the R5!Mike.
