This mk2 with what looks like to be Regamasters replicas looks stunning. In his previous setup the owner was rocking some Audi wheels, but I really prefer this more track oriented look.
You can find more pictures on the owners Flickr account. Originally spotted on Supermade.

Looks like Rota slipstreams. Nice car.
seriously, wtf is this doing on speedhunters?
"MK2" is not a car.
it's okay i wouldn't go as far as "dope". its a lowered golf on rotas... not something i come to this blog to see. posts like this are disappointing.
eff that, that mk2 is illlll.. i can't explain and i won't even try
Awesome, I love it. Car looks craaazzy!~
Im not a big fan of MK2's but I sure appreciate the various aspects of the car world!
hate hate hate hate
lame random snap, i KNOW you have better ones. beater ass car wants to be a honda
if you guys read the tag, it says regamasters, which are the same wheels spoon put their name on, they are not rotas, this is a super clean car thats slammed to the ground on some super clean wheels, i guess haters will always hate, even if they dont know what they are hating
that looks terrible.. put some better rubber on those rims dosent even looke like it has any rubber at all
Dont hate , , , That car is cool
Rotas? They might be Desmonds though.
Nothing special
donttalkmuch, you cannot read, the description says "Regamasters replicas". and I am hating because it looks like shit, thank you.
i can't believe this piece made it on speed hunters super weak
shit's weak
If they were desmonds they wouldn't have the holes between the lugs in the center since I'm pretty sure those are 16's
don'ttalkmuch: they're rotas. you need to educate yourself before you jump on everyone else and think you know. as previously mentioned, regamasters don't have spacer holes between the stud holes.
also i agree, this is a weak post for speedhunters. the cream white of the car and the new white of the wheels further cheapen the look, and lead me to believe this setup was a lucky (if that) mishap.
also, the wheels look super-thin, sunk as a skunk, and sitting on dumb rubberband tires.
yawnn
Euro haters!!! if there here would be posted pic with old corolla on some simple wheels,you all would go nuts telling how hot it looks!!!
I repeat, "MK2 is not a car". It's a version of a car for christ's sake, in this case a GOLF. MK2 is used eeeeverywhere, not just in VW land.
It's an MK2 GOLF.
Yes, GOLF.
Let's not forget that your car is named a GOLF.
Stop trying to rename it something remotely cool and/or race-sounding.
sick car! wish my mustange looked like that
Spartaaa +1 for saying that!
Nice ride...BTW
its got a supercharged r32 lump in it, so it would probably outdo most jap poo around
I've got downs HTH
Basically anyone who doesn't think this car rocks is a gay, that is all...
Ok so maybe not to evryones taste. I think it would be very short sighted not to appreciate at least in a small way they amount of effort that goes into something as clean as this, its an old car and most you see everyday are nails.
Its the mix of styles i like, clean, blanked mirror, small fenders, super detailed and with a different choice of motosport style rim that suits the clean lines, Im sure it's on air ride too, so again a fair amount of effort and i doubt its had it all done in a shop. My only quible is perhaps the interior and if they were genuine ragemasters or spoon sw388's, but kudos
I dont think everyone should be loving it but to hate is abit much in this case dont ya think?
Dam ricers
i rather be gay than to think this car rocks..
Awesome car!!! in my eyes one of the best looking mk2's i've seen, definatly deserve's it place on this site!
Take your blinkers off and appreciate some good old fashion engineering and attention to detail. No one can make you like the car but if you can't appreciate it you just as stupid as the next guy.
ID love this car..
You have Pm
Vinish.
Sick mk2, all the hate is just funny and confirms what a race of mindless idiots yanks are. makes me laugh, wah ha ha ha ha
Again, one lovely mk2.
jblaine - Get your head out your a**e mate! Yes it's a GOLF and yes it's a Mk2. Therefore what is wrong with calling it a Mk2?
Why people hate on VW owners somuch is beyond me. I own a VW but still respect a car that looks cool, no matter what the manufacterer or model. Maybe you need to broaden your knowledge because at the moment you and the other haters are talking rubbish.
I bet your car aint that low? Maybe you are lowaphobic, I'm not sure?
Car is fully f*****g stoopid, load of limeys creaming up over a base model shitter thats been dropped on some cheaper than cheap multi fit rims in an attempt to be different, just looks crap, i bet the driver wears one of those gay wooly hats too and skin tight jeans
get a f*****g life you sad people
bun you haters.
ill shnk u all get me!
pussies
I've got to say, if you don't like the car...why bother spending your time writing a comment on the post? Just look elsewhere. Or at least write something constructive, rather than utter sh*t.
It looked better on A8 wheels rather than the Rota Slipstreams in my opinion but the car is looking ace.
jblaine: I am going to give you a gold star for educating us all on what model of car this is. Did you get that everyone? IT'S A GOLF! A VW GOLF!! Couldn't have done it without your input, you are a genius.
Calling it a MK2 instead of a VW MK2 Golf is surely shortening it rather than renaming it? But what do I know, you're the expert!
Hello lads! This is my car, cheers for all the loverly comments...
Just came on here to say, it's on rota's, mainly because I couldn't afford compomotive mo's, and they are just winter wheels to save me polishing the audi wheels that it's normally on! I'm pretty suprised it's on here aswell!
Also it's not on air!
I heard the driver's pretty hot aye.
I also heard nascar's sh*t.
You guys seriously take things too much to heart, is it because you are all inbread?
As above you could just post saying it's not to your taste but no your stupid fuckers, the cars fucking ace!
I echo Fancesca's comments...he's hot ?
Tidy motor
if you hate this your blates a homo
I'd sleep with the owner of a car like this!
True story!
Bare nuff lows-check
2009 tucked stance-check

Congratulations, you are fully scene approved.
er, sik?
Hey lazer Lips your mother was a snow blower!
Oh my? Not rice? I don't like it!!! I prefer rusty Hawndas with whack stance and 7 turboooooos!
Holy cow there are some funny comments above. Its a stunning car and Im not going to even try to explain or justify it to you narrow minded fools. Hey if we all drove the same car then it would result in a pretty sad world.
I love it!
Right then Mr pedantic I think you will find its a Volkswagen Golf Typ 19E.
Gay woolly hat wearing limey? Man you have issues and need to get out more.
another massively over hyped UK car.
now watch this drive.
LMFAO!!!!! God half these lads must have 12" dildos shoved up their arses
Its a picture of it on its winter wheels, an it still looks fully sick!!!, it looks sick on the audi A8 wheels too.
Its a super clean motor used daily, top work imo.
i can imagine all these bumheads cryin now........"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!" haha
Built not bought,
all the owner has done is fit Lamborghini seats and bask in their wallets glory
Things I learned on Speed Hunters:
1. There is a total lack of creativity and hard work in car modification in England, especially among the water cooled volkswagen crowd. Slapping big wheels on a stock vehicle wins awards. Any noticeable body modification is avoided. Britain is plagued with laziness, indolence, and complete lack of follow through.
2. British English obscenities will not be removed or edited by the website moderators, while American English obscenities will be immediately removed. The website moderators don't understand Brit curse words, so any comment thread looks one sided because all of the rebuttals have been removed.

"That '70s Show" Bye Bye Basement (2001)
Theo: Look. It's art. I moved everything in this basement two inches to the left.
Kitty Forman: Oh yeah.
Theo: I call it "Basement, two inches to the left".
Hi guys im trying this is my car cut me some slack
didn't saw this coming...
sucks eggs haters
cum down brixton and see sum sik cars!
f**k your yank *hit!!!!
bare luv 4 dis mota!
dry, bell me if u wna sell dis yea?
I took a stock Golf with big wheels. I carefully disassembled everything from the vehicle, down to the floor pan. Then, I moved the floor pan two inches to the left, and carefully reassembled everything. I call it "Golf, two inches to the left".
Let's not forget that your car is named a GOLF.
DO you know what the origin of the name is.... Golf.. German for Gulf... as in Gulf winds.. not the sport with the little cups and balls.
Also, this is exactlly what I like about speedhunters. Lots of different kinds of cars, a little to suit everyones tastes. I like the golf, looks like a fun car!
I understand that it is is a picture with the winter "beater" wheels because he does not want to get his shiny, good, summer Audi wheels messed up. So why didn't he put the good summer car in the picture, because that Golf is a winter beater.
clear this up please, you are an arse
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
sick of it
Sexiest Mk2 I've ever seen.
I find it funny when Americans get scared that they might actually like something European. Seriously, try it - you might enjoy it. A car 'enthusiast' who can't see the work put into this car is like a wine critic who only tastes wine if it's part of a dirty pint - technically you're doing it, but kinda missing the point and losing out on the experience as a result. Subtlety is a trait to be applauded.
George said it:
another massively over hyped UK car.
There's nothing more to say.
A car doesn't need 20 thousand modifications and 20 turbos and shit to be good... sometimes even the most simplest of modifications can be really effective.
I wouldn't be surprised if these people on the website are ACTUALLY angry 14 year old kids trying to troll honest petrolheads who take pride in their own motors.

The wheels are nice, but If you live in a country where those shitboxes are EVERYWHERE, you just get turned off immediately when you look at that car. I probably see 20 ugly mk2 golfs everyday...
So I guess most people who like that car are from the US, and like it because the car is so german or "euro" or whatever.
Imaging it vice versa, whats the most common american car you see everyday 1000times and don't want to see anymore? Some kind of SUV, Minivan or Ford Crown or so? I have no idea, but you wouldn't get horny about the most common american car with nice wheels either or would you?
What a bunch of ass sucking mo fo`s you Brits are, the car is mediocre, its not anything special, its dull, its plain and its someone elses idea of style, which quite frankly reflects their low ability to be different or step off the edge
Go put some peanut butter around your mouths and walk the earth as arseholes! f*****g red necks
i love rice cars
goddamn street racers!
SonderKommando likes men,,,, fact!
also sodercockmando, your the one calling the brits rednecks? you ass faced yankee turd burglar!

You have a lot to say for someone with a girls name, dann han pan handle cock smoker
tell us, do you f**k this guy who owns this pice O shite regularly? or you just stroking his balls coz you wanna?
Hey i bet you even thought your name was "That C**T" for the most part of your life, as thats what people always say when they point at you

you would be lucky to see a car with any wheels on it ffs
"Bell me" you really are a small penised spunk monkey arent you, innit
Who said racism was dead?
Plenty of racism and hate speech from the Brits, quoted from the Brits' posts:
"ass faced yankee turd burglar"
"go sleep with your cousin your inbred f**k"
"__________likes men,,,, fact"
"you are an ***"
"f**k your yank *hit!!!!"
"bell me"
"you must have aids"
"12" dildos shoved up their arses"
"your mother was a snow blower!"
"homo"
"you are all inbread"
"stupid fuckers"
"sh*t"
"utter sh*t"
"bun you"
"pussies"
"Get your head out your a**e"
"what a race of mindless idiots yanks are"
"anyone who doesn't think _________ is a gay"
"eff that"
you crazy people how can you see a picture of a car and get so angry! if you see a picture of a truck will you bust a blood vessel??
SonderKommando id love to see what you drive post a link of it my little american pudding pie x
Mk1's are sexier
Calm down dear!
The name calling is making you all look like school children.
I hate to say it BUT the yanks have a point.
Sure, it's a great looking MK2 but apart from a hefty drop and a set of rims, Is there much to look at here?
im an utter belle end who drives a heap of shit car,
Dry's mk 2 GOLF rocks FACT!!!
Nice drop.. don't like the white on off white, wheels would look better colour coded or black imo..
Hey Yanks! Did you see how I spelt colour correctly, because i'm not a dumb ass american f**k!?
Ok guys... I think everyone is missing the point slightly!
The whole idea is "simplicity"...
...the car has been stripped back to basics with a little twist to make it look nice & clean.
It's not been built to please the masses, just the owners tastes, like many of the cars on here... unlike his american counterparts though, the owner likes to drop dubs, not bombs
Check out the pictures of it in its "summer" state and try and appreciate it for what it is...

Well Said.
Speedhunters should in no way be encouraging fake wheels.
my darling american chums, here in blighty lots of us see less as more when it comes to car modifying, we dont need chrome rims the size of a ferris wheel to make our willys look bigger. Its all about simplicity. Judging by the replies from the american population 'simple' is something you guys should really get no? Matts car (dry) is a real demonstration of what you can do when your cheque book stays in your back pocket and you take your time to modify a car.
how the fuck can anyone say there is no creativiety in the uk modification scene from looking at a single car?!
also why do most americans have a problem with ANYTHING british.
all i see from america is wanna be rat drift cars clean drift cars and VIP
now whos got no creativity when you come out with the same things!!
i have to admit my self i love Vdubs but this one isnt to my taste.
but fair play to the guy it is what he wants! deal with it stop being children!

Mike you dont mean that there is an equal amount of transatlantic hating going on here! I dont think the stoopid yank comments are called for but in response to some of the comments made maybe it is in context no? Dont lower yourself to the stereotype that americans know nothing about the outside world and cant get on with anyone out side the us of a, C'mon lets all have a lil cuddle and see what pops up y'all take a raincheck on the hating and we will too.
Hardly surprising it looks like a winter beater, they only have one season, winter, everything they drive IS a winter beater.
Billinjah your a Pan chawt
pudu
iv just read this whole thing and find it funny! All this hating from one pic of a car!
His mk2GOLF is a good clean car, nice look to it, even if your not a dub head you must be able to see that. he hasnt spent silly amounts of money on it, just spent the right amount. and i think he has done a good job with it.
So to Dry aka Matt, good on ya lad, nice car you be having yourself there (even if its not on these wheels anymore)
And before you all think that hes just getting his freinds to come on here and back his car up. i dont know the guy just know of the Company that the car is pictured outside of.
