Time to share my car here, it's a Mk3 Golf GTI (16v ABF) in Black Magic
Owned her now for 4 years, and gotta say I'm loving it as it sits now

- H&R Coilovers
- OEM Vento front end
- Remus back box and tips
- Eurosport strutbrace
- K&N panel filter - swiss cheese box
- German plates
- Anniversary GTI shift knob
- Midnight Express 35% tints
- Mk3.5 Steering wheel
- Alpine 9887 head unit

Other things in the pipeline

Things on the drawing board:

Very nice

[dubbed]

Brilliant.

I like where the amps are too.

Welcome to the forums, and very nice example you have there! I'm always surprised to see so many nice aftermarket goodies on NZ Mk3s, like the Zender sideskirts and ABT front lip and Hella Dual Rounds. They fetch some decent money! Do you guys have distributors there, or just import them in from overseas?

[coons88]

Yea audio install is very neat and hidden if I don't say so myself. Sub moulded into the side of the boot, amps under the back seats, cables in the sills.

For the size of the country I would say there is pretty decent support for VW's. We have a couple distributors for after market VW parts, I would say they specialise more in performance parts rather then styling though

Sweet car there mate, I really can't think of anything to suggest besides to give it a vacuum and some armorall loving !

Again, nice care you got there!

[Mrk_Mickey]

That's yummy. Have never been a fan of those headlights but it's still a good example

I actually vacuumed it the day prior to those photos

Only other thing I would really like to do to it is lower the front a tad more, but that would mean I have to buy new springs and I can't be bothered at the mo!

[coons88]

Thought I would dig this out of the ground and bump it to the top - lots of changes happened over the past year or so

See first post

dude love it with the vento front and meshies. Just looks dope! Done a mint job of it

[Mk3 AAA]

Yeah saw this on VASK tonight, looking really quality now, those last few shots are really flattering. Can't wait to get to an Auckland meet sometime. Missed that big car meet last year.

I liked your idea with the Mk2 style front, but your car is just pulling off the simplicity of the Vento front with Euro lip soooo well, the best its ever looked.


p.s. is that blue Mk3 Estate in Auckland with South African VR6 15"s (little fat 5 spokes) actually a VR6?

[coons88]

Cheers

Yep that blue Mk3 Variant is running a 24v VR6 out of a Bora with a rare 6spd FWD box, as well as a Mk4 dash etc
It's a bit of a sleeper with those fat fives at the moment

[Mk3 AAA]

Ah that's right, I have seen pics now I think about it. VR6 wagon would be very cool. I had those wheels once too.

Some really interesting stuff going on in NZ, crazy kiwi builds (i.e. V8 Polo....mmmm delicious insanity)

[coons88]

NZ has a pretty cranking scene for our size lots of mad projects as you say

Build thread for the Variant is here: PROJECT CAR: Mk3 Golf Variant
