Classic car, I had 2 Golfs, 16v and a VR6, still miss them. Also has a Corrado G60 but that’s another story.

Best it did that while it wasn’t being driven.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Indeed!!

Oh I loved the Corrado G60. I remember when a colleague got that brand new. I was jealous as I received a hand me down company car Mercedes 190 2.5-16 😍 Poor me.

Just had it back from the body shop to get the rust out of it, and have a full respray to make it nice again

My daughter since then passed her test back in August, and now has a 3 Door Evoque Dynamic Plus as her daily driver...

Yes I drove it back today, very low power compared to our other cars, but way more smiles. And people are literally pointing and waving. So much love for it.

That is a beautiful car!

I had a Mk3 Gti 16v and loved it.

Obviously I’ve “grown up” now and have a FF  What do I put here then?

Until recently had a Scirocco, such fun to drive, light nimble and surprisingly fast. Well done for restoring the Golf, looks fabulous.

Thank you all.

Lovely to see such a beautiful original example.

Sadly, so many of the ones I do see have been “stanced” or “slammed” with undersized tyres etc.

Hehehe it’s lowered by a fair bit. But we’ve quality and handling over silly stance. It is running on BC Racing BR coilovers with adjustable damping.

The E30 however 🤣🤪 Also nearly finished, just need some engine work. It’s bagged…

But again we did it properly and respectfully in my opinion for its age. That is the parked up stance. It has an auto rise feature when you start it. You wouldn’t know it rides in air except for the much improved handling.

Least your daughter has good taste mate. I had a vr6 golf for a while and it's one car I regret selling

Some subtle lowering and improved suspension components for improved handling is one thing. It’s also easily reversible, so doesn’t have a detrimental effect on the originality. I think your Golf looks great.

This type of thing was what I was referring to.:

I agree. It makes me laugh seeing those done by cheap eBay special suspension parts and literally cutting the coils. The thing becomes undriveable. Same as with some exhaust, they just chop, cut and delete and it sounds rubbish.

I like modifying but also keep it driveable.

You mean those that don't have the money too do it properly. I've always been into the modifying scene but I prefer things too be done properly. Subaru impreza I've got says it all spending £15k on the engine
