my mk2 golf: now ratted!

Well sadly ive sold my beetle, and ive bought my self a golf driver for £475 which i thought was pretty good, its had one owner from new, seems pretty clean, but its not perfect i dont have many plans for it. Ive just ordered some coilovers so once ive got them im gonna deck it 120mm hopfully they will be on before the next meet. But once they are on gunna find ways of getting it lower . Also im gonna get some chrome trimmed bumpers, not to sure what im gonna do with wheels yet, might leave them but if a set of cheap banded steal come up then ill be tempted. anyways here are some pictures of how it is now.


gonna get rid of them 4 headlights





should do the job

looks nice and clean mate, you gonna have to get used to polishing the car now!

if you want it lower than 120mm take the little assister springs out of the coilies. They are only there to keep the big spring in place when its jacked up for MOT purposes. Ask joe how low mine was with the assisters out.

looks a pretty tidy example.
is the bit under the headlights slightly kinked on the drivers side?
get the rear wiper layed flat as well, doesnt take long, but looks a lot better when done.
banded steels and dropped will always look good on a mk2.
might need some slightly smaller profile tyres though. haha

Sam

i'll show you how to lay your wiper flat when you come get the grill mate

layin the wiper lat has got to be the first thing on anyones list of mods

on my lists is always gotta SLAM it first haha, i see why people lay the wiper down its quite annoying sticking up haha

cheers guys for the comments.

Joe has talked me into buying some 7x13 weller steals, better start savng my money

oi listen ye, me got some strech on me new tyre tho issss it, shup bruuuuva

hear me now hear ne nowww, U is a pussy hole ye

whats all this about moving the wiper down? why not just remove it and put a bung in the hole?

nahhhhhhhh, i want it looking all original except for the wheels and it beeing lower, im not into all this smoothing business lol

my coilovers have finally been delivered just gotta wait to see if my brother is free at the weekend to fit them, but it aint looking to good:(, im really hoping ill have them on before the meet and the m25 run fingers crossed

quick update.

me and my brother fitted the coilies this evening , wound them down to 120mm and put them on, and the great thing is that we didnt do any arch work, tires only rub on full lock which is good. it sits nice and low but i think it needs to go a bit lower to be honest. also go a single headlamp grill on thanks to tiz. i was also thing of spraying my wheels black but i dont know yet. heres some quick pictures. ill get some daylight ones up tomorrow.





im quite happy with the stance at the moment. its very bumpy

what do you guys think?

duuuuuuuuuuuuude, i thought that car in ur avatar with someone elses not urs! didnt think ur bro had anytime! that loooks siiick man! cant wait to see it at work in about 30 mins hollaaaa

i guarantee you that it goes lower as the coilees settle. my valver just kept getting lower and lower and lower until i could hardly turn

looks schweet m8, but as said above, it will defo settle lower over time so run it liekk that for a while and see where it ends up and then have a play about if you need to go any lower.

looking good fella and i can only echo whats already been said.. i wound my caddy right down and it settles.... ended up sitting on the bumpstop constantly LOL. Looks much better with the single lamp on too mate.

looking cool

that looks cool mate, i reckon keep the steels silver though, thats my opinion anyway!

looks good billy, i agree with ed, keep em silver.
