VW Golf mk1 (Citi Golf)from South Africa

For a short time I swoped these rims for some tsw Imola 16", but we swoped back soon after.

After this a few things changed, I found a original vw grill, painetd the badge, found an old set of wheels and refurbished them.

And a lot of time later, This is what the car looks like today!









Thank You For Watching, Comments welcome!

Prefer the first set of rims myself but totally down to you mate.

Nice ongoing work to it. Keep up the good work

Clever use of those playing cards!

I'm trying to work out still what the spacer blocks are for in your suspension springs. Are they to limit travel?

Yes. Since i dont have coilovers, the back is lower than the front which looks bad, so I fitted those rubber blocks to the back to try and lift it a bit.

Oh right, does it work (from a suspension/ride point of view?)

Well I havnt felt any difference to the standard suspension, no funny things. So… short answer YES. I'ts not ideal, but it still works fine. If you know what I mean.
I wont do this on a Golf R but for this it works.

Recent mods:
I have fitted some caps to my wheels, modified VW OEM caps.

Great thread, keep the pictures coming
