My Car !

Hi All

Just wanted to post a pic of my mint Mk1 - lovingly garaged over winter and soon to be modded with 15" RM's, ARB's, poly bushed all round, TA lowered susp & lower front SB. Hope you like it !

Is there likely to be a mk1 meet this year as I did not have the car to make the Gaydon meet?

Cheers
Mark

I would leave it just as it is. It looks great. All you need as Tallpete says is a black grille badge.

Save your money what you will be spending and go on Holiday with it! :D

Wow minter.
You could leave it standard, but I think some nice wheels always set you apart from the crowd, and you can always change them back. Wheels only though leave the rest as is.  :D

WOW! Looks lovely mate!

I too think that a nice set of rims would really set it off.
A black badge would be better too…

Lovely Mk1 you have there, I would leave it the way it is except I would throw on a black VW badge on the front grill.
Nice car man :D

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm very lucky to have found this one - it is a minter and I am chuffed to bits  :D

Did not realise about the badge though - have to say I was not sure about it anyway so an OE black one it is.

As for the changes - only a 35mm drop and I am keeping the original wheels after the RM's go on - sorry to dissapoint the 'original look' crew  :cry:    It does need the bushes doing and who's going to know about the suspension anyway?

Great car and a hoot to drive - very different to each of the other fast golfs ive owned.

As per my original q'n - is there another Gaydon meet lined up this year?

Cheers
Mark

Mark1,

Yes we have tabled the idea and is most likely to go ahead - no dates or anything confirmed yet.

Now about that committee……

crazyquiff - just a thought, but I travel to the Aston factory fairly regularly as part of my job so if I can help with the Gaydon meet in any way, please let me know.

I would personnaly go with the suspension mods but keep the alloys. I think they look great on a Mk1.  Not many mk1's with standard alloys on these days mind, so standard is modified  :)

 But it is your choice of course.
