this car is one of my absolutely favourites, i thought about buying one but you just find them in total unusable condition or they´re too expensive
did you lower it? it just looks so cool..

Might as well add my car 
1999 MK1 Citroen Saxo VTR - Stock atm.
No im not a chav either, it's just the idiot's in their 1.1 Saxo's with their music blearing that give us Saxo driver's the chav status
Will end up doing a few bit's and peices to it eventually, have a late model MK1 spoiler to fit and will eventually stick an enclosed induction kit + small 3" piper exhaust system
Then I gotta save to get the wheel's refurbed and might mesh the grille
Going for the smart look, won't find any body kit's here

I took the wing off and did the whole job again in dads garage as its easier to work on like that.
I took the whole wing back to bare metal using nitromors paint stripper and washed it all down, re-filled the dent again (nitromors melted the filler from last week) and primed it with 4 coats of primer.
Then i went over it all with 1000g sand paper, washed it all down again and applied about 4 coats of the silver, and it sprayed on perfectly this time, and was exactly the same colour, 100% matching!
Then i used some 1500g sand paper and lightly went over the whole surface to get rid of the roughness left by the metallic flakes in the paint sticking up.
Then 4 coats of lacquer, and its done. In a few weeks all i need to do is use some rubbing compound to get rid of the 'orange peel' effect that has happened with the lacquer, probably because i was using aerosol cans which aint really the best way to do it.
The only downside being that now its lacquered, it has come out a different bloody shade of silver to the rest of the car, although the rest of the car does have a little dust and primer overspray on it from the first attempt so once its had a good polish im hoping it will match a bit better.
At least it looks better than having a massive dent and a rotten wheelarch anyway.

Thanks! Since i was a kid i dreamed of having my own mk1 golf(rabbit in north america) and now i have mine. I will eventually do a complete restauration and probably swap a small displacement high-reving engine in there.
Yes it's lowered, it has Patec Holeshot coilovers
Glad you like it!
@ dtbb, its alot better than before. Hopefully you can do something to get a better match. If you have some spare paint and lacquer left over, you should colour code your mirrors, side strips etc. Would make the car look 10x better.
you should also spend some time aligning it properly
currently the clearances are all wrong making it look horrible
I know, the problem is, i cant get the wing to sit properly anywhere other than where it is, as you say, it needs to go 3 or 4mm forwards, plus the bonnet has a little kink in it which makes the bonnet/wing alignment look wonky.
I need to take it back off again and bend some of the brackets around a bit to get it forward that little bit further.

ive always had a soft spot for golfs, wanna get one as a daily.
That little golf is facking beautifull, the slammed one if beyond that.
Thank you!
Like i said earlier, i plan on completely redo the car, id like to call it a restauration but it will be more like a resto-mod.Front wings are jobber, they need to be trimmed to fit right, wich i dont really have the time for right now.
Thanks for the comments!
Here are two pics from tuesday at the weekly VW meet in Montreal:

Prakumba, better don't post video's like that, here. Because, some guys who drives max 1.3l fwd ''matchbox's'' thinks that is soooooooo dangerous, etc. 
Because, some guys who drives max 1.3l fwd ''matchbox's'' thinks that is soooooooo dangerous, etc. Has more to do with it being an idiot on the public road rather than what car we drive.
Damn, you're 1337, bro!111
Wow, I'm flabbergasted.

Me & some friends thought we'd settle the "who's got the fastest car" debate like men!
