    If you look carefully, a lot of cars are designed like that, not just mk1 golfs.

    Yeah you're correct. Original:





    How I'd have it:






    I also was inspired today on a job.... Customer had a 1966 Toyota Crown station wagon in which he'd installed a new Lexus V8, LSD, Mags, disc brakes, lowered with mags and looking rat and retro as hell. Was a hell of an engineering job. Looked awesome!

    the rear aches also look bigger because it doesnt have the plastic splats on them..

    That photo being crooked (or slope of the driveway) doesn't help.

    I realize the arches are different front and back but like to have the same gap. A slight bit of rake wouldn't be too bad either as it just looks like it's dragging it's ar$e. Also is the gap even on the factory setup?

    Nice car and absolute classic.

    For sure, I can't take the credit though. Found it on golfmkv.com.
