Because it’s been winter here in the GTA most of the recent features have showcased cars from sunnier climates, however as our seasons gets closer and events are being announced left right and center it’s time I turned the spotlight back towards local rides.
This Golf is a perfect example of the level in which a lot of the local VW enthusiasts operate and when it arrived in my inbox I was immediately impressed with what I saw.
The beauty of this cars is in it’s simplicity. The changes to the exterior have been kept to a minimum to avoid looking tacky or overly flashy, and of those exterior modifications the only thing that isn’t OEM are the molded 20th anniversary replica side skirts.
Everything else is straight from the VW factory: a R32 front bumper, OEM hatch spolier, and R-line rear bumper.
Satisfied with the exterior of the car at this point, Jujhar got down to business in the ride height and rolling stock department by installing a set of coil overs and 18×8.5 and 18×10 BBS RSII’s which were bolted on with a set of adapters.
Those modifications yielded the look below:
However as eye popping as that look was Jujhar decided to go for jaw dropping by making the switch from static to bagged with an air ride setup made up of HPS Premium bags up front and Firestone bags out back.
A week or so after getting the air ride components this VW was fully plumbed,wired, and able to squat down to where the fenders sit right on top of the Falken 452 tires (215/40 Front and 225/40 rear) that are stretched carefully over those timeless BBS rims.
The car, which was finished last year, looked incredible roaming the streets of Toronto and should look just as good this year provided it stays the same.
Because these pictures over a year old there is no guarantee that this car will look the same this year. So if this is really a preview or feature truly remains to be seen.
Either way I can’t wait to see Jujhar’s car in person in 2011.
Car looking absolutely unreal as usual Juhjar.
Give me your wheeels bruah!
i remember bonnet bra’s were big in the air cooled sean when i was a kid i never liked them altho i understand why there used but why keep it on all the time? the stance isnt my taste but over all this thing is realy well exicuted
Hands down the best looking Golf I’ve seen to date. Suspension is crazy, but if your willing to fork over the coins for bags…
Nice. I’m feeling the draw of airbags more and more…
I’m with Ollie on the bonnet bra. Although the stance looks great, especially on a 4 door.
Im not a fan of the rear fitment but its a clean golf
Not loving the rear fitment either, but what really struck me is how the rear wheels are miles off from the centre of the arches, is this a golf suspension geometry thing?
Ya VWs tend to get off caster when they air out. Someone explained to me exactly why but I forget now.
Ya I am not to sure about the rear wheels. I think it would look alot cleaner with the 18×8.5 all the way around. But a very nice VW. Like the bags looks sicky
this ride height it totally sick….gota love it!!!!
its good he went for adjustable suspension its just a shame he didnt go for wheels that actually fit , c’mon this “stretched” b.s is wack. tuck some rim , dont plant it against the body. looks amateur IMO
