Yep, very nice indeed. I'm going to say it though  What is that rear camber all about? Front wheels look well aligned, Surely it's not great to drive like that? Or is just a scene thing? Very clean though, such a great shape the Mk 1. |

One of the best Mk1's in the UK in my opinion, never get tired of it.

2nd pic down the camber looks curse word, but in the 3rd pic where it's a bit lower it looks brilliant. Is it on air, it's at 3 ride heights in the pics?

wheels are too big and its too low. take one of the best handerling stock cars of its time and ruin it.
like the rest of the car just needs some tweeks to its rolling stock.

Hi This is mine  Just to clarify that the 2 top pictures that octagonpaul are from about a year and half ago when i was running coilovers, and i had to run that much camber so i didnt schread my tyres I still have camber but not as much! also on the front Its now on air like in the 3rd and 4th picture and its also on 16" fiftenn52 snowflakes now as it sits so much better on 16's i wanted to do something differant to every other mk1 golf that you see at shows, they tend to get boring seeing everything the same! I'm a big fan of wheel fitment and stuff like that and thought why not try it on a mk1 and its worked, and have a few followers of my thread on edition! It did handle like dog curse word when i had it on the coilovers due to the fact them been way to low and ended up chnging my sump everyweekend ahha Now its on Air it more fun that a standard mk1 to drive, even with the camber, its tad stiff suspension and can drive it normally and fast if i wanted Its that low just for looks when its parked up |

didn't mean to sound like i was slateing the car it looks great, i'm a function over form man and to me stretched tyres, to much camber and no ground clearance are just no good for what i want from a car.
the world would be a much duller place if we all did the same thing.

As a long time BBS RS fan it's weird for me to say this, but never put the RS's back on, those Snowflakes are out of this world, looks so good.

Full US-spec is a real nice touch, sets the whole thing apart from the rest of the crowd.
Those 16" Snowflake reps Are an excellent period looking wheel for the car.
good work
