just seen greeenhouse black gti on another thread .... thas the look id like.glorious motor mate! :drool:

is it just his bbs and the red "splitter" at front that sets it apart for me or without insulting him what else dont i know that he has done visually.i,m sure the stance is different too. has he lowered it?

is stance down to wheels and/or spacers?

sorry i,m sure some very newbie questions to follow.

Your car looks very well specced from the off! Hang around here and you'll soon learn all you need to know. See The Wheelman on here for spacers if that's the look your after. I have 10mm front and rear  :happy2:

lol. RR ..... not stalking ,honest :innocent:
yeah ive been looking for "this" car for a while and hated getting rid of my mk2 10yrs ago ish and vowed to return to the gti fold one day.
once i stared looking i jsut didnt like anyhting else for similar money or spec and once test driven it was game over! :fighting:

greenhouse , thanks for the heads up, i will search a few more threads and prob go with spacers first.then who knows!

i gotta lot to learn, i love cars but know very little about them under the skin but plan on starting NOW!. even talked about me and my 15yr old buying  a mk1 and restoring for him to drive in 2-3 yrs time.

i doubt i,ll be able to contribute much here but i,ll be reading up shed loads
thanks guys

Spacers - has anyone got before and after pics so I can tell the difference?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks for that. Looks a huge improvement but am concerned over the experience of bacillus and animal. I can do stupid things when it comes to corners and rolling over isn't something I want to experience!
