    Love it cracking work. The nova scene needs a bit of variety and this delivers it.

    Obviously if i owned a nice GSi or GTE or Sport i wouldn't be doing this as they are so much more exclusive, but its nice to be different.

    Cheers guys
    I think this car is rarer than any Sport, SR or GTE etc, it is the only one I know of in that colour combination. I like the retroness, the fact you left the body colour & interior standard. I like what you have done with it and the style.
    I think it looks lovely, I just question its driveability. I remember a Golf at Retro Rides struggling to get around the show sit and bottoming out everywhere. If you had air ride then that could give you a more practical ride height whilst driving and lower it for show.
    I see what Benn is saying about the setup but the wheels are so close to the arch that I see no room for any kind of suspension travel. Is there room and is there any travel? What suspension are you running? Did it go through an MOT like that? Not sure what the legalities are running a stance like that.
    I like the look of stretched tyres too but I am not sure I could run them. Maybe I am a little older and wiser as I worry what would happed in the event of a blowout. Having been in the motor trade a while I have seen the mess left by a blow oit on a correctly fitted tyre! I seem to remember John H had a blow out on his banded steels and stretched tyres, maybe he could shed some light as to how much of an **** twitching moment it was
    Again, it looks lovely and I hope to see it at some shows this year.

    Ignore the dirty rubber mats, those are gone now!

    But she is completely original bodywork wise (Apart from wheel arches) and the interior is completely standard and clean
