Looks nice and original. I had a look at one a few years back but they only have the 1100cc engine and I wanted a 1300. I've had my saloon for 5 years and never filled the wash bottle. The colour is called sand metallic, It's a mk1 colour.

It looks sick on the BBS Mahle. what tyers are you running on them?

that golf is well nice,is that the one that had the tacky body kit on?

yeah the golf had a very rare pfeba bk5 kit on...no one even on ed38 had even seen one...hahah..I'm guess thats what u are refering to as tacky??

the tyres on the mahles are 145/60 michelin's...expensive but give a good strech and help alot with the tyres tucking under the rubbish shaped arches...

cheers gaz....yeah i found out i needed a mk1 tank as it used the mk1 handbrake set up aswell..lol....

some 2x sneeky bits of paper turned up in the letter box today......''sorry you were out''.......wonder what they could be.....:p..

i guess a fuel tank and 80mm lowering kit...finally

..

sick picture!! Love the golf and the sqaure is gunna look super sexy....

Oh and what sizes are your TY2's? You have to please please please see what they will look like on the polo....

hahah..maybe...:)...

there

13x7 front et0

13x8 rear et-10

soon to have inch bigger dished on the front to make 8's...dont like the strech on the 175/50's on the 7's so make them 8's

yeah fair do's....you going to get your arches rolled or will the stretch with the 175's be enough to tuck the fronts?? Might have to buy a 7'' dish of you as one of mine is bent a little :( ??
