daily project

hey thort i would show you a few pictures of my golf
it was a standard red mk3 golf and have been slowly doing bits to it but because its my daily nothing is happening fast.



this is a couple of days after i bought it, sprayed the steels and fitted a bra




this is after a lil bit of lowering and sitting on some p slots




new US spec bumper, number plates and deleted intercaters







after a few bits of painting i have got this far,









so what does everyone think then

should have left it red imo, needs to be dropped alot lower too

i did the oposite to that, mine was mint then my brother sprayed some chemical in it to get it all patina, then a week later the 40 grit sand paper came out

satin and yer alll over just needs a few bits touching up so its not fully done yet, but i am thinking of going satin orange now or somthing along them lines but i wont be doing that any time soon

you going down the same route as me, its awesome lol

check out my old build thread if you want to see how low hot tunning coilovers can go but i warn you now, if your car is light (e.g. a 1.4) it will be hard as f**k! still worth it though!

yer i read through your build thread not so long ago
yer its a 1.4. my coilovers are coming soon and need them on asap cuz the distance between the front arch and wheels is massive and is p***ing me off plus im running cut down lowering springs at the min haha
the thing i love about the satin black is it doeasnt matter about the paint work just give it a quick spray if you get a scratch/chip and your sorted haha also looks pretty mean

</A>



ignore the ride hight and paint work there being sorted lol

what you think?

you wont be able to have your plate in the same place as some of your pics if yuo get the hot tunning coilies! the my pics there about 1 cm from all the way down but dropped it fully now! but looks cool!

i think from the back it looks mean as f*** and cartoony its great
but am thinking of getting not so stretched tyres on the front cuz the lips of the alloys are about half inch of the floor so might get some slightly wider tyres but im loving it
