    Any good VW forums?

    I need to register in a good one to find out if something like this is within my reach:



    Or maybe this:




    That golf hatch looks so clean i talked to the guy that owns the coupe and he told me as far as styling goes he just added the side skirts and arches from a 91-92 jetta and got the grill from cabriolets and some after market headlights. And the suspension and wheels although i dont think i'll be able to afford the supension.

    That jetta coupe is stonkin'! Do you know if it's original or converted? Most of the forums are full of idiots but you can try the pvw and club gti forums.

    If you need any advise tho let me know....both those cars have g60 arches and skirts -£180 from vw,de-badged grille - £40+,clear or crosshair lamps about £100,wheels...all depends but for splitties like on the jetta you're talking 1k + new,they look like schmit wheels to me btw.
    Suspension ya looking at £400+ for a decent damper/spring set-up such as a bilstein eibach combo or £600-£700+ for a nice coilover set-up such as the bilstein pss kit or one from eibach or H&R.

    You sound like you know enough to help me out

    I forgot to mention that wheels werent exactly what i was looking for but the rest of the car looks really great. I wont have enough cash to buy expensive wheels, and i wont sacrfice too much weight for a cheap set of wheels so its going to be a bit of a balancing act depending on how much cash im able to spend.

    Most important thing i was looking for info on were the styling tweaks, and you seem to know enough on those. Suspension cost doesnt sound too bad, probably still something i'd only consider.

    Its either this or an EG Civic hatchback, some factors in play
