    Couldnt find an appropriate section so mods/admin feel free to move :D

    Few people at the events have been asking me questions on this so i thought id stick up what ive done so far.

    and despite what Motty might say no i am no mk1 legend hahaha

    so back in august last year i picked up this little thing ( Ive always been interested in them, the old vw scene is where im at home haha, this whole jap thing is all new to me)

    Really nice mate - quite refreshing to see something that isn't an s-body being modded...

    strange as it is...

    tbh i think their should be a non-drift section on here for projects... would provide a lot of laughs at chavs with 106's ect and show what else other pepole do other than drifting in their spare time.

    While I half agree that there should be a 'non drift related' section, I think this should actually just be in 'other chat'. That is if it's allowed at all - while I think the project is great, as is the work it's wrong on a drift website. Appropriate for VZi or RetroRides IMO.


    But until it's locked/moved - keep up the good work, I love a good mk1 golf!


    Oh and from what I remember, not sure where I saw it - those wheels aren't for that mk1 Golf, but for one that is being done 'Berg Cup' style, right? Trust me ladies and gents, Berg Cup look is awesomes!

    You did? who are you lol

    wheels are BBS centre locks 15x15

    is drift works just a drift website or is it a bit of a comunity as well? only reason ive put it up is because ive had a few people ask me about it at the drift events, so i thought id share. :D

    and i guess your on cliosport? as that the only place that those wheels have been posted other than here?
