HI Not New but New GTI owner!

Just bought myself another mk1 gti.
this one is a lhasa green in pretty much concourse condition with a few added additions like black arches removed, different lights and alloys.
anyway i will be changing a few things on it so here's a taster of what i have bought.

hi ya

looking good

why dont you set yourself up a thread in projects and let us know what you have got planned

WOW…. Bling… that's stunning!!!

Where are ya from?  You bringing it along to the meets?  I think people would love to see it!!!

Any more pics?  Interior etc?

Yes i may do that but i thought that projects was more for people who start from a base car rather than one thats already been done to a good standard.

I am in beds area. i have a set of bbs splits to put on so will put them on and start snapping the cam. post some up later on so we can see a before and after shots.

woud love to but i dont want the horrible ride quality and front splitter replacement every time i go for a drive problem.
i am not sure how low it is so i may try a different set of springs.
any idea on height?

40mm drop on mine I think… looks like this:-





It is a bit hard when you hit something but the handling is better… is yours your daily driver?  If so then I wouldn't go too nuts as like you say it'll be uncomfortable.

Nice buy Bling, looks really tidy. Like the splits, always look good on MK1's 8)

Do you think my car is the same height as yours, really hard to tell as you have the p slots.

This is not a dailey drive i will only use it when the weathers dry.

Your car looks immaculate!
