Newbie - Rallye Golf

[NickyB]

Hi,

I've wanted to join up for a little while, so I'm taking the plunge!
I'll be quick, here's a couple of pics of my pride and joy:





And finally, the link to my project thread if anyone fancies a read, I've only owned for about four months, so haven't managed that much... yet!

I'm hoping to make the meet tomorrow, very excited and a little nervous too!

Thanks, Nicky

Hello Nicky

[wiz 1]

Welcome to the site

Fantastic looking car. Are those alloys Castalettes (think thats spelt right)? Look better than the BBS.

Thanks for the welcomes


The wheels are Porsche Design 90's, slightly polished. They're actually suffering a bit with the salt but I'll refurb them in the Spring

[hairydave]

can't quite place my finger on where i've seen that before...

[schuey]

Thats sweet as!

Love Rallye's.. rear wheels could do with a little spacing out in the arch. Looks great! Me - I'd fit a set of Black 8x17 Compomotive MO's

[Scoop940]

Dammit... I miss my old mk2 again now....

[m3pilot]

i always linked the rallye, the only golf i've ever really wanted. looks very nice.

[theboymoon]

That is seriously nice

[Alexbturbo]

Very nice Golf matey Have always liked the Rallye due to the wide arches

[martzRallye]

Rallye looks good. Agree that the rear arches could be filled a bit more.

[turbo-tastic]

Very, very nice

I agree, the rear wheels do look a bit lost. Spacers would be the easiet bet, or possibly a set of deep dish 16" BBS's would look sweet on that, but also cost a fair bit.

I'm not sure how spacers would work with the Porsche PCD converters though.

Either way its a damn tasty ride as is, and hope its driven accordingly

[ol' dirty]

Very very nice, what are the used values on these cars?
Am I right in thinking that these are left hookers only?

[Altrezia]

They are LHD only, and go from 4500 to about 7k for a goodun.

[Alfahorn]

Fantastic car one of my dream cars when I was a teenager.

[NickyB]

Hey, thanks for the comments.

I really do need to space out the rears more. It's on my to-do list but other things keep cropping up. Just bought a four branch, and getting a new exhaust before Christmas, then I promised I'd get my bumpers re-sprayed after Christmas. Doesn't seem as important as that stuff.

It's such fun to drive, I love the noise, love how it feels like it'll grip anywhere, I'm so pleased I bought it

Here's a new piccy, I love:


Ahem, yep. It does need a clean!

[badapple]

Fantastic car mate! The rallys are awesome

[NickyB]

Thought I'd update you. I just picked my car up today from the bodyshop, and I'm so unbelievably pleased with the results.
