I'm with Steve H on hating the grille, but otherwise it doesn't look bad at
all.
It's lowered too far to handle well, but that was to be expected.

Oh, I think it looks very tidy, just that it'll be shit to drive with those mods. |
Mate of mine bought a really tidy, 125000 mile 8v GTi the other week for
£175.. completely standard, drove well.
He's since taken my advice and fitted decent gas shocks all round, new top
mounts, and slightly uprated -30mm springs.
Took a while to get all the geometry perfect as the camber is easily cocked
up on a Mk2, but it's a lovely car now and the corner weights are within
reason.
Handles perfectly, rides well, and doesn't shake out your teeth on every
pothole. Doesn't rattle either.
Shame it's a Digipants one though.

around £80, the top mounts were whatever genuine VW ones cost, and the
setting up was about £30. Fitting was done by me for £40.
