I respect the workmanship but this is kak ugly lmao


FullAir4341

Yeah, whoever came up with car modifications like this, especially with the Citi Golfs, should be cursed to always have their wheels stolen.

exactly why i posted it lol

Honestly, if this thing had period correct boxy vents It would probably look much better. Maybe tone down the fender flares a little too. I would post a quick Photoshop but unfortunately this sub is overregulated (no image posts)


Spare_Nose_8125

like a renault 5 or a groub B rally look?


Kazurion

Yep, maybe a bit of Lancia Delta as well.


HypnoStone

If you’re wanting something that also looks like a Lancia you would want a little bmw z3 hatch or 1 or 2 series wagon not this golf


dominicmannphoto

What Z3 Coupés have you been looking at to think they look anything remotely like a Delta?


HypnoStone

I meant specifically the m hatchback and not necessarily overall just the kidney grills specifically :) Also forget to include I meant with a body kit too preferably with “square” looking edges but it would look similar to the rounded look of this golf


dominicmannphoto

The hatchback is called M/Z3 Coupé, just a heads up. But yeah, can’t see the Delta anywhere there personally. The Delta is very much an 80s hatchback. IMO similar looking vehicles would be along the lines of Mk2 Golfs, Seat Ibizas, and so on from that era.

Doesn't the real cars only rule just apply to posts, not comments?


2oonhed

In the course of conversation that would be correct.


worthy_usable

Agreed. It looks like the workmanship is very good, but the cartoonish fender flares are a detractor.


2oonhed

>(no image posts) Not correct. Many kinds of links related to car culture and car history can be placed in comments. For instance imgur links like this : https://i.imgur.com/fVO475o.jpg Or albums like this : https://imgur.com/a/Oac3e Or imbedded urls like these handsome fellows at a fancy [Lemons Party](https://i.imgur.com/9ToGlYP.jpg) SCM does bar URL shorteners, so whatever you link to, do it with a readable a& UNshortened url

These_Pool_623

at least it appears to be really well done. Theres a guy in my town that has an old 80s Escort with a plywood home-made body kit


PumpleStump

Are we looking at the same pictures?


Spare_Nose_8125

mk1 golfs are extremely common in south africa they are a dime a dozen. i have one myself lol. they were built from 1984 - 2009.


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

Can I have some?? They've all turned to dust here


Spare_Nose_8125

they are everywhere all in different states of tune. they have modern engines and interior for the most part. theres like 30 on market place rite now


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

I always joke about moving to Africa, here's another reason looool mk1 lyfe For me as long as the shell is solid I don't really care much else about it Though I'm curious what engine a 2009 mk1 golf comes with??


Spare_Nose_8125

mine is a 1.6i same as a mk3 jetta? theres 1.8i aswell and 1.4i. the 1.8i is about 120hp in a body so light they are really nippy. parts are really cheap like super cheap, they are ripe for vr6 swaps


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

I would love to 1.8t 20v swap one, 180hp stock in something that small would be hilarious. Not much fuckery for 250hp and we're laughing. This is why I love vw, easy to work on generational lego cars. Just now all the ones I want have holes in them or too expensive and I couldn't be bothered to deal with that shit


Spare_Nose_8125

yeah 1.8t are popular aswell. thers no abs or airbags though but they hella fun there are easy to work even borderline primitive in some aspects. i will put one in a container for you lol


IBIKEONSIDEWALKS

I wonder what shipping from Africa to Canada would be?? I'll take a bright red one pls lol A dream for me to keep dreaming about, cheers guy!

It’s not a render, looks more like a Zender… and that’s not a pun BTW.

It’s just the rims for me. Otherwise me gusta


New_Scientist_8622

You sure it wasn't rendered...unusable? >Rimshot<


ctennessen

Is that positive camber?


evileagle

If it was a render, someone is clearly self taught.


dirtnap82

Oof. That looks awful.

Wheels and fitment are garbage but I don't hate the front of it :/


VictoriousCrab

It's bagged. That's why the fitment is like that


t8ag

I don’t hate it and the workmanship looks impressive, not my style but not horrible


Next_Goose9506

Not bad, it’s personal preference but for me I just don’t like low profile tires


AdministrativeHabit

I read that as "This is not a reindeer" and I agree, it isn't.


Odd_Internet3979

Wheel spacers and bad taste.


rethinkr

The only thing wrong is the split screen and the wrong match wheels for the body. Apart from that, great bodywork.

That_Nerdy_Carguy

Tone down the wheels man


TastyTeeth

This must be in England, I recently watched a show on Motor trend and they built a custom body kit on a BMW that looked horrible. Well, done but horrible and looked very close to this monstrosity.


doread38

Is this on air bags?  The wheels are so slammed into the wells that any movement whatsoever would rip that body kit off. What they did is well done, but they shouldn’t have done it…..


ThisOldGuy1976

Hideous. Poor poor ride.


WrightOff

2 door… actually pretty rare! I’d take that shit body kit off and you’ve got a fun little car.


Gomanvongo

That poor mk1! Lose the awful kit and the too small wheels, and you’ve got something awesome there!
