1982 1.6 GTI Tintop

Here are a few pics of my car after i gave it a good polish clay and sealant hope you all like. She was totally restored every nut and bolt brand new and since then has done 21k. the last picture wa from when i put it on pistonheads for sale for about half an hour then realised i couldnt do it love her too much lol

Love it mate. Alleycats set it off beautifully. Have you considered maybe replacing the duck bill for a cl lip so you can drop the front end a bit more. I really do prefer the larger gti item but with smaller wheels it makes it very difficult to get the ride height low enough on the front end.

yeh i have considered that the only thing is i went lower than it is now the other day and went over a pot hole and smacked my sump and spent yesterday putting a new sump on didnt even touch the splitter and i kept hitting my wish bones aswell so cant really go much lower

as soon above, the alleycats look awesome
 you avoided alot of unhappiness there, glad you decided to hang on to her

The car looks great!  I good to see that you can't part with it.

Realy realy nice car mate.

Lovely car mate,you know it makes sence,some things you can't put a price on

New addition to the old girl cant decide whether i like it or not. Also i think im after a 20vt mk1 lol anyone fancy a swap ????
