    I'm at a bit of a crossroads, i'm thinking either this stance;


    or tuck all around...
    Don't like that look, i would prefer the front sitting right out like the rears.

    Hopefully we can get you to come to the Xmas euro meet.

    Would be good to get some older euro attendance and to see this thing in the flesh.

    imo, low offset skinny wheels with skinny tyres doens't look good, i'd prefer getting good tuck all round. but a bit of spacers to get the tyres near the arches never hurt anyone (although alot can be said for scrubbing sidewalls, lol!)


    i like volkswagens

    I love the wheels on that red MK2, but it needs to be dumped and tucking hardddd!
    If I ever do RS's (unlikely), 0" lips are a must.

    Dude what you've got going on looks great. It's subtle, period-correct and just looks ****ing good.
    MK1 and MK2 guards aren't the easiest guards to work with. Unless you want those skinny ass Nankangs that stretch basically to the shape of the guards lip, tuck is the way to go IMO.

    After a few months of neglect, i decided to give the Mk2 a bit of a wash & took some pics with a better camera;



    Walking into the garage every morning always makes me smile


    Was at Cooly Rocks On! festival last week, lusting over customs & hotrods. Took a bit of inspiration home,

    Swinging hips Elvis for the mirror;

    and a lady luck for the side;


    and just for fun my 'other' MK2 project...
