GTIGRL took me shopping yesterday!

[gtimk5]

Hey Mel! oops, girl, thanks a lot for that, I reckon you should have told me to buy 18s. Nah, they look ok.
And yes, I think I might chage the front lip.
Cheers, Andrew

[GoLfMan]

Never fear Andrew, just lower it and itll look absolutely sweeeet!!!!
yeh they do look even better in 18's same rims as the GTi race car in europe love those wheels nice taste Andrew and girly

[gtimk5]

Almost regret the 17s already but yep, if its dropped a bit it will look better. Love my car!

[mikinoz]

Dump it, Dump it, Dump it...

I fantasize about the day when I get a new beastie, GTI, R32 Porsche 911 Turbo(Dreamer, nothing but a Dreamer{thanks to Supertramp}) when I can slot on each corner a set of mesh BBS's. By putting BBS's on your GTI has taken it to a whole other level. I suppose I could consider some 2nd handers for the Passat, but I want to get some mechanical stuff done first.

Hey Vanderliker, one day you too will get a great car, I am sure. I managed to buy a 12 month old mk1 Golf when I was 21. I felt special to have such a new car back then! (showing the age thing again!) My first new car was my mk4 1.6 in 2001. It took that long. Only by being in business could I afford it, and thgat was an even greater feeling. 24 hours after I had the springs and wheels on it.
The mk5 GTI? A definate classic, love it!
And golfcart, we might have to order some springs when you want some Paul. Cheers, see you soon mate

Thanks gtimkv, I sort have been there done that. I am nearly 41 and I am only very new seeing the VW watercooled light, due to the generosity of some friends of mine. Been through some tough times over the nearly the last ten years. I have had a few new cars, all Holdens (sorry to blasphem). I'll probably only get a new one via a lotto win or some stroke of luck as I am a single Dad on a disability pension and I am going through a custody battle for my son. We get by; just as long as I look after the Passat it should look after me, as it has already given good service and so far since I have had it been very reliable and I will slowly do some mods to it when i can afford it. I suppose the next car purchase I'll be involved with is for my son, who due to in part of this forum would like a Golf MK1 or 2 as his first car.

Sorry to hear your plight. Pity you hadn't found VWs years ago. I hope you find a good one for your son.

Good choice in wheels buddy 18's would be perfect, but if you lowre it the 17's will look very good too, and probably handle better

Nice car
