We've seen all sorts slammed and stretched cars this month, and not without a doubt Volkswagens are one of the world's most common platforms for this sort of styling. In some cases it can get a bit dull seeing Golf after Golf lowered on BBS wheels, but every once in a while you see a car like this one. There's nothing outstanding or gimmicky
This car is getting famous all over the world and has been featured in many VW magazines, blogs and forums. When you look closely at this build, it's clear why it was recently on the cover of Performance VW magazine; this Golf is a top-end, high quality car. Don't look to Rob's funny face but look to the front of the car and how low he can
I used to have a good fashion designer pal, who once told me of a meeting he had had with Creative Director of a well known German urbanwear fashion line. The Creative Director said something quite interesting in their meeting: "Fashion is Communication. At every moment, the clothing you wear is telling everyone around you what kind of person you
A while back I met up with the guys from Tein at their HQ just south of Tokyo to check out a car they had brought over from the US.

The idea behind it is to get rid of all the excess material on the outside of the car like the emblems, door handles and side moldings to clean up the overall look.

To start VAG month off I want to showcase this MK1, owned by Robert Jan from the Netherlands. Kevin already posted this orange Mk1 , and although this yellow one looks similar from the outside, there are a lot of differences.

My first feature on Speedhunters... and I'm delighted to showcase this car! I love these kinds of projects and so does Frits, proud owner of this Vw Golf mk1. He bought his first VW Golf in 1992 and ten Golfs later he came in the possession of this car. It was sitting in a farmyard and hadn’t even been started for three years. The rear window
Not too long ago Golf came out with a prototype called the Golf GTI W12, it featured a twelve cylinder six liter engine with 650bhp capable of 325km/h. But long before that, a Swedish tuner called Dahlback made something even more spectacular. Their basis was a Golf Mk4 which they completely stripped so they could start with a blank canvas. The car
