And pics





Currently sat outside my house fan's not working (be fixed tonight)

Need ideas on what to do! As i cannot decide what i want big bumpers, small bumpers? Arches or n o arches

nice looking motor. personally id keep the big bumpers and arches cos i think they look cool but thats my opinion everyones different

Yeah i know i like the look of the arches and bumpers but keep seeing small bumper models that also look good

Think i need some splits then decide lol

Splits? What you doing with the G60's then?

I think it looks real nice as it is. I'm a fan of the big-bumpers and arches. Too many people are taking them off these days to look 'retro' and cool. Original is best.

Anyway, that's a nice, clean looking example. Has it done many miles? I like it a lot actually.

Done 118000 miles

G60's would be kept for winters prob

Unsure on wheels tho fancy some bbs split's but everyman and his dog has them so maybe something diffrent (best get saving) want to go wide 15's tho as it handles superb

agree with the geeman, leave as it and rideher on some splits.

original big bumper 90specs are the way forward, esp with g60 arches

and white too

nice

if i were you and i had bought this (and i definatley would as it ticks all my mk2 boxes)

i wud drop a 2.0 abf into it

and 15inch bbs rm's- 8 and 8.5

then i would be a happy happy man

Sounds like a plan

so 8" front and 8.5" rear runs off to ebay......

Engine conversion isn't a option yet tho as i have been warned i will be made homeless lol

like you say bbs splits are common- but ask yourslef why.......

And they are the ultimate rim for a mk2 imo

i would do your best to make it a minter- best possible, now they are rare- many 90specs are battered and bruised, personally been a massive mk2 fan, theres nothing i like to see more then a minter 90spec'er,

the only thing i would change on a mk2 is the interior and even then i wud just retrim the seats in leather- not change their shape

Needs 1 door card as it has 3 diffrent ones lol

But the interior is spot on no marks rips or tears the car has been well looked after as we found out when i put it on the ramp on Saturday

The price of the bbs's puts me off tho as there not cheap

Nice....

you should be able to get a set of RM's off german ebay for around 4/500 quid

Gonna have a look, just need to sell my segin's first tho

i think being original with your wheels is better then just going for splits without even considering som thing else.

Big bumpers and arches loook good, and it looks like your fit well, you shouda seen mine when i first got it, wavey bumper, arches stuck on with sikaflex, holes in the sill covers. But when they fit well is really works, especially on a white cat - it make the plastic trim look cool

Don't know what else i want wheel wise

Need to be wide and 15's tho lol

borbet A's i know there are a few set knocking about on cars at the moment but they do look nice or splash your cash and get a set of htn's


agree with sam the black trim on the white car does look cool sometimes its best to stay minimal in what you do if the cars in good condition then you can leave it original and put it on a nice set of rims if you get the wheels right it can make a car look a million dollar

Boothy - cheers for that link

Some say i am a wheel whore and finding the right set is a bit difficult for me lol

Splits Are proven kewl, why change??

dunno what i want lol

Splits would be good tho never had a set before

but as the rents say "mod this car and your out on the streets"

nice one adam looks like a tidy motor bet your glad to be back on the road arnt you have you gone off mk'3s altogether now then??? and did you manage to do anything with your vr afterall???

i wud say its not mod mum, its a variation of oem+

Sarah- Ended up breaking the car and got a few bits left but most are sold

Boothy- she knows what im like not impressed i bought a "H" reg car and say's it's too old to mod what she doesn't know won't hurt her lol

Looks very nice as it is

I like it,look forward to seeing the changes on it.

i like it,nice and subtle,lokking good mate
