Finger crossed, G40 will be off the road and tucked up in the garage over winter at the end of this month
It'll then be safe from the slippy roads and nasty weather while i add some tastefull touches ready for next year
Got myself a mk3 golf gti

looks tidy enough, especially for a winter car. Wots the millage like? they tend 2 b pretty high tho not that it matters on a VW.

Nice one...2.0 8v I take it?
My best mate has one exactly the same as that, age, colour, doors and everything. Now its on FK coilovers, 8&9x16" Schmidt Modernlines and is due to get an ABF lump chucked in it as the 8v's little end bearings have gone.

Nice, very tidy.. should make a fun winter runaround
. Has that door been resprayed though, or is it just a trick of the camera?

done 122k, door has been resprayed at some point,and has faded a little. Has been stood over 12 months! If it was a F**d it would have perished away
Cost me sod all really so can't complain!

Do they have to be MK4 Golf?
Remember all modern VAG cars are running 5x100 now. The 9N tyres are probably the right size for your MK3!

No, but need to be black
tyres are 205/50/15..lower profile than 9n's iirc, but need rims, as i can buy tyres separately!
current plans are smoked m3 rears,low key zorst,ind kit for a bit of extra noise
black rims and erm.....thats about it

The Ibiza came with 205/50s on it, I swear! My one has 205/45/R16s on it.
If you want a Pipercross filter, give me a shout. I can get them very cheap!
