My MK1 Gti Cabrio

These are pics of the car befor i had it when i first saw it in the trader!





I brought the car for ?995, and took some pics when i got it home,







i then took the car to have a full service and to get the cambelt done, i also got it waxed all underneath.
i have recently started to spend abit of money on it,
i brought a set of coilovers for about ?220 off ebay and fitted those.





i also got some new clips for the hood as mine were broken



i got a set of rear lights today and also a new back box, which i have just fitted






also a couple other goodies arrived in the post aswell









A couple pics iv taken today! (cars abit dirty though!)

iv also just brought a few new bits for the golf!

Lookin good matey 8) . I will be posting some before and after pix of my cabbie soon. Can't wait till its all done. Love your wheels by the way :mrgreen:

cars looking great mate and as said befor the chrome goes well with the blue

cheers for the replys people. any ideas on what i can do next? im thinking interior but need some insperation?

Liking that a lot mate,really nice,i`d love an early cabbie!

how low did you go when you lowwerd it,its just looks right,any probs with the archers or anything 8)

iv got no problems with the arches. not really sure how low it is  :?  i just brought the coilovers and then handed them over to my dad to fit them.

gave the car a clean today and got a few more liitle things for the car. also fitted the rear bumper!
here's some pics

havn't done any work to the car since the pics, but im hoping to change the interior soon any idea's?

I love the blue looks really spot on, wheels are one of my favs and dont care how many I see stll love them. The exhaust is , for me , abit too large but it aint mine . Where did you get the flaps from? Also what size were the wheels to fit with no arch work needed

I'm liking the latest look. Coming along nicely.  8)

One point that may help you out is that the windscreen wipers are the wrong way round. The 'fin' should be on the drivers' side to help you see better. Not a critisism, just an observation.
