Hi Guys

My name is Wade Lambert, I am a final year design student. I live in sunny Durban, South Africa. I have a 2001 Citi Golf 1.4i. In Durban the golfs are really riced up and over done, so I decided to follow a bit of a trend in South Africa and make my golf look more old school. I have had the car a year now and been really lucky with the parts I have found and especially being on a student budget haha.

This is how it looked when I got it:















I bought these cli rims because I really want to make them custom like a picture I found on this forum




I really want to fit the Mk1 Tail Lights but I need to fill up the holes


I then put my car on the dyno its made 62kw on the wheels and 120nm of torque

This is how it stands now, Im really happy with the progress I have made





To Do List:
Coilovers
Make the Cli rims custom
Fit the Tail Lights
Re-Do the interior (seats,roof lining, door cards and carpet)

Future Plans:
Full respray
Possible 2.0 8v Motor conversion
