My mate has been wanking over this:-







Now, personally, I think it's shite. Utter fucking shite

In my opinion, Mk1's should be black, clipper kitted and have a charged VR6 under the bonnet.

None of theis "stretched tyres" shite

What do you guys think? Surely them tyres cannot help the handling?

Terry Tibbs

They look absolutely immense, not the one pictured the most, the other.

EDIT - seen the reg's.

Like it on the wheels where its sat at the garage.

Alps Pacino

No mk1 golfs should be black, fully stripped out, gt30 20vt motor pushing out over 400bhp

I think they look the dogs mate, and i'd rather drop a VAG 1.8T lump in one!

bud-weis

i like em

you can't really go too far wrong with a mk1 if you keep it simple

D.K.

Im liking them

Crap, and the rears are illegal anyway, protruding beyond the bodywork.

Mr Orange

RBT 265 looks better,

they looks good, but must be either black or white, with big power under the bonnet

Stavros

Apart from the pics of em on P-rims, they look cool.

Better than cossies running ET40 7x17s and 205 wide tyres with the wheels a mile inside the arches, like usual.

But then again, when you see my cars, its obvious id say that

I like the look but not when it goes too far i.e. tyres reeeallllyyy stretched over tiny tiny but extra extra wide rims...

Love Mk1 Golfs though, it was one of them that got me into cars when i was about 15

Pics look like Clive Sullivan way going into Hull

Gra

they look the tits, euro look and the car scene abroad is fookin wicked actually

Rob84

It is

plus the number of the garage in the first pic has the Hull dialing code

I can’t see how those can be driven over here, with that clearance of the tyre to wheel arch. Unless they only drive on roads that are as smooth as a sheet of glass. Here in West Sussex, they wouldn’t get further than a few hundred yards, then get stuck is a pothole, or shred the tyre.

Dan

Love them, think they look awesome!

Lets face it, they are a thousand times better than the fibreglassed up peices of shit nova/saxo's/corsa's that we have over here!

I quite like the understated element of the euro look, but the wheel choices tend to be shite, espeically when combined with tyres stretch so wide the car doesnt actually corner well.

Its all about performance for me with cars pretty much, so anything that massively compromises performance for "a look" is IMHO just chavvy crap.

Rippers

They look really cool cars IMO I'd certainly have one

Terry Tibbs

Airbags mate, dropped for when they're parked up.

cabrio zo

I like Euro-style, especially on Golfs - not too keen on the Euro look on lazy-arse-pie's mk6 Escort though



though better than when the rims where silver

Z

JohnP001

Thanks for that. Learnt something new today then.

Stavros

First cool Mk6 Escort ive ever seen, nice to see someones got the offset right on a ford for the 1st time ever!

Any more pics of that car?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Airbags = ruin the handling


Shame to take cars with performance potential and ruin them for the sake of a look, wether its the excessive spoiler brigade or the euro look brigade, they are all cunts to me

Stavros

Does anyone KNOW these cars are on bags?

A lot of cars ive seen like that arnt at all, esp VWs etc...

Sticky.

iTrader: (4)

You have no taste thats why you think it looks shite

Euro look is cool if done right on the right car

Rhys

I like the simple look of above!

Though what the heck is going on with the exhaust?

lovin old skool volvos rear wheel drive!

charlie luciano

The old hamlet cigar advert springs to mind "carlos fandango super wide wheels" then the geezer drives through a tight farm yard gate which takes all four wheels off the car

Looks alright but as stated above illegal in this country if tyres stick out further than the wheel arch/bodywork


Luciano

Stavros

the treaded part of the tyres, IIRC nothing else

charlie luciano

iTrader: (3)

I don't understand?


Luciano

Stavros

if i rememeber right its not the amount the wheels or the tyre walls stick out.

its only when the treaded part of the tyre sticks out further than the arch its illegal

RichieST

iTrader: (2)

yes they do look shit - what the fuck is that exhaust pipe all about

D.K.

Ive had to fail cars if any part of the tyre has stuck out from the bodywork, I always thought it was only if the treaded part stuck out tho

big_wig_074

they look fucking sweet!!!love the euro look!

Stavros

on the deck and proper rims for the legacy, ASAP

Maria.

I think they look lovely!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Its only the treaded bit that has to be inside the bodywork, so if its got gay stretched tyres with the sidewalls lent right over they can be outside the arch, so can the wheel itself.

charlie luciano

iTrader: (3)

Not good for overtaking lorries though


sorry I had to get that one in



Luciano

Ah! I'm now following, Cheers Chipper

StuarTurbo

I love them

tho have got a mk1 golf Gti in the middle of a restoration aswell as my RST.

just 2 different styles for 2 different looks of car , Euro doesnt work on everythin

big_wig_074

seriously dude,reference that pm i just sent its looking to be that way! first euro legacy?

Dicko&Vacant

iTrader: (3)

look ok for a mk1, i love the euro look but just cant get away with mk1 golfs, prefer the mk2 myself... though thats prob cos i had one

wheels are too wide though looks a bit silly, and after all that hard work making it euro why ruin the boot leaving the bootlock in
