Let's start with some of the spotlights I reserved after attending the M.I.V.W event last month. One of the cars that made a lasting impression was this MK2 in the show & shine hangar. The deep red burgundy paintjob transformed the complete look of the car, it looked brand new.
I have never seen a MK2 this clean. I have noticed that there is always stiff competition between the UK, Holland and other European countries who builds the best Volkswagens. After seeing this MK2 I know that the UK won this battle. In the next few days I'll show you a MK1 that proves that the Dutch are champions of the MK1 game.
The fitment is spot on, just look at it. These BBS rollers were made for this platform it seems, simply perfect.
True BBS split rims in a chrome finish. I know these wheels can be found on virtually every VW platform but there is just no denying they look perfect. I think the same goes for the TE37 wheel on the Nissan platforms.
When you want to compete with the best you need to bring something special. It all starts with the shaven engine bay and then you need some accents like the carbon shroud. Performance wise you need some individual carburetors.
The interior seems to come from a Mini. Everything covered in leather or suede.
So what do you think? Did the UK won this MK2 battle? For me it is a definite 1-0.
Get ready for one of the best MK1's in the world in my next spotlight.

The best MK2 I've seen in a long time - maroon/burgundy is an underappreciated color, and it just looks pitch perfect here with the chrome and black plastic accents. One thing though: those are carburettors!! (sic)
This is quite awesome.
I'd use 1st gen TT dash thou..
Two tone dash doesnt do it for me but the seats are awesome
Fresh.
Sweet curb rash.
What you can't see is this think has a carbon fiber gas tank. Yes CF Gas Tank!
The underneath is just as clean. s i c k
The engine is actually runnig dual Weber Carbs not ITB's. The interior is in-fact from a mini. The car was featured in the Performance VW mag awhile back. Truly an insane build!
U forgot about the carbon gas tank, driveshafts etc... pure class..100%Win
Tons of VW love.
Very nice golf with cool details .
btw i think it runs weber carbs no itb's
Throttle Bodies? Those look like Weber DCOE Side Draft CARBURETORS!!!Hello!!!
that dash swap is awesome.
Wow... MK2 VW
Looking so damn nice...
Well I liked it until I saw the interior. That's where a lot of these Veedubs go wrong for me. I like 'em factory or stripped.
Beautiful ! Although I would have swapped a VR6 engine, maybe with some ITB's.
Thanks for sharing Jeroen.
the mini interior is no good for this car,but the rest of the work is very nice
wow the bbs´s fit beautiful to the red color :O
but the dashboard looks a bit weird in a 2er golf ^^
Need hi-res pics......so sick
Maybe if i pray hard enough to god, someone will give me one like that for my birthday next month, loool, hahaha, sick car, has to be my favorite MK2 yet
That's my wet dreams lol
Niiiice! Carbed 16v... droooooool... i used to rock a 16v in my old passat, wonderful engine!
BEAUTYFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car is sooo sickk!!
I have a 1990 VW jetta whats the wheel fitment i like how those bbs's look
You people have gone beyond flush. This is just ridiculous looking and not functional.
I love this car. Why do anything unless you are going to do it exactly how you want it. Epic stance.
car looks great - clever int. swap-out.. love the BBS+VW combo - nice! the colour choice is good too
Two thumbs way up!! Is the under-carriage just as clean?
Now THIS is hot!
I love this car... perfect color, perfect wheels, engine detail is great.. I would prefer a rally 4 reflector grill but the interior pooped on my face. Stock Reccaro seats and stock dash with minor ups would suit me great.
Not hating lots of effort.
hi
does anyone know the model of this bbs´s ?
many thanks
Does anyone know the code of that color ?
