        Hey guys,

        Lil update on the GTi Finally got around to gettin the new shocks and springs fitted with the help of Benny (86gti on this forum). Fitted new KYB shocks with 35mm H&R racing springs. The handling is so much better and the car looks heaps better too. Washed, polished and detailed the car yesterday and made some pics of how it sits now ---->







        Cheers, Stefan

              Looks like a very clean example - keep it that way mang.

              I remember seeing this for sale a while back - you've definitely improved on the car as it was advertised. Those wheels have grown on me now, especially with the car's new stance. The stripe doesn't seem out of place now, either. The stock tails are definitely the go!

              All you need is the little jack point blank for the left side skirt : )

              Good work, definitely.

                I was thinking of getting that as my first car - did he give you the original lights, parts etc.
                but instead i got a '89 GTI 16V for my first car.

                hope your having fun, great first car!

                  Hey mate,

                  Yeah everything original was included in the sale so i put all that on straight away. Nice buy with the 16V too mate. Got to love the mk2's haha

                  Cheers, Stef

                    looks good mate. i'm gonna have to say ditch the tint on the rear window for plain black...
                    but besides that it looks really good!!! shame about the tassie plates i think...they seem to look kinda strange compared to other states...IMO. maybe its just because i'm not used to seeing them

                    keep it up buddy!

                            super pleased with that roof stripe removal!

                            looks pretty clean now!

                            lol at getting rid of tint and fitting straight through exhaust.. "officer! i got rid of the tint!!... brrraaaaaaaaaap"

                              Hahaha yeah they dont seem to care about the exhaust as much as they do about window tint that could potentially reflect sun into a following driver and obscure their sight Yep stripe gone but the clearcoat with it, need to get roof reclearcoated but i agree, looks so much more cleaner. Thanks for comment mate
