Acquired this little number last night. Some of you may have seen it in the spotted section on gumtree. This shall be my first mk1





Lots to do, really keen to ditch the 16's and get a bit more low. Does anybody know how the rear gti spoiler clips come off? Its really not my thing so i've removed and spoiler quick smart but the tabs themselves look to be stuck under the weather seal. Does it need to be removed?

Anywho will update this thread hopefully sooner rather than later

Looks yummy but the wheels have got to go.

[GTI4ME]

My god, please pm me a price for said rear GTI spoiler!!!!!!!!!

[Browneye]

Looks the goods mate I saw this one on gumtree. Good to see its in good hands and I can't wait to see what you have in store for it
Um, 5 stud?

[Zig]

Yeh has a proper 5 stud conversion in the front and some customer job in the rear, im gonna tackle all that very soon and put it back to 4x100. Sounds like the front will be an easy conversion but the rears, god knows what he did. By the sounds of it he's drilled 5x130 spacing in the drum and put studs through...

[Jarred]

Would definately be interested to see photos of said 5stud conversion, definately the harder way to go, as adapters are much easier and cheaper to come by!

slightly smaller tyres, and properly lowered this would look sh*t hot as is!

[Zig]

Will rip off the wheels probably next weekend or when i get a chance after work and see what the go is with the rear. Have been searching for 5x130's for a while but not many tickle my fancy. Thinking schmidt th

Low with some 14x8's on this would look amazing.

[Zig]

Finding 14's is proving very hard water boy, point me in the right direction!

Updatttteee -


Still have a bit to go on the coilovers so will wind down accordingly tomorrow

They look pretty awsome! Are they 15x7??

[Zig]

15x7 front and 15x8 rear. Im honestly dissapointed in the tires, i test fitted some other 185/55 hancooks and they sat beautifully, but these falkens 921, of which i've read many a good opinion, just don't seem to sit as nice.

Oh well...next set of tires
