thanks guys
when you see what the finished product looks like, you will likely change your mind on that one....this is just an in-between look...
the drop is nice now...i like it....but i'm gonna lower it prolly 1.25-1.5" when i put the rims on....THEN it will be hoTT
as far as the rims go...those are 16" New Bettle rims....they have my winter tires on them....my summer rims are 17" ones.....bbs style...

Looks quite different from when I last saw it Anthony. Looks pretty good. I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the Jetta front end. I really like the golf's look, find the Jetta too boxy looking, but I can't wait to see what you have planned. :)

looks nice anthony, I am not feelin the jetta front either. I think u should have gone with the MK4 Front end conversion, and use the smoked mk4 lights that Tdot has sitting in his garage ontop of his rabbit. I cant wait to see what u got planned for it next, keep up the good work.
My other ride is your Mom

i'm surprised you guys aren't feelin' the jolf look....
see...when i got the golf i couldn't decide on what style or direction i wanted to take it in...i thought seriously about the mk4 look headlights and i came this close ][ to buying them ....[yea i know about dans single headlight...kinda useless unless you find the other]...but then i found a site with TONS and TONS of mk3 golf pics....and it really helped me decide what i really liked...and what i wanted out of the golf....and jolf was the answer...not everyone does it....unlike the mk4 look...which is kinda played out to me.

Looks good guy how about a clip of that sweet sweet exhaust sound.
I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

I have to admit it looks good the way you have it posted right now, I like the Jetta / Bora front end, kinda looks like the Golf W5 Edition that was in Germany in the late 90's ( I have the scale model of the 1998 W5 Golf ) too bad the W5 is the 5 door h/b & only available in Germany. Plus the Bettle Rims kinda look alright on the car too, very VR6-ish.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

i dunno what to say man.. on one hand. i am a huge dub fan and give you props for owning a mk3 GTi, which i have always wanted
but at the same time, the style you have taken with it is so different from my own that i am not feeling it
IMHO, its gotta have some BBS on there.. and i would have gone with gunmetal or black with polished lip.. in 16" with hardcore tires
but all the same.. thumbsup for all the work you put in!!
new school
old school

NAZ- thanks man...i respect that..
the rims i REALLY REALLY want still are some Porsche design 90's or Porsche 928 wheels third choice would be some Benz wheels
but what i have now will have to do...and they aren't all that bad
i would have went with gunmetal...but i had that on the focus...and wasn't feelin' it anymore....wanted something different
i LOVE old school.....but i'm not down with those bbs wheels you posted....if i got any bbs wheel it would be LM's
