I would say it belongs here. 1st gen Jetta with everything that can be fitted from CITI GOLF

I understand that not everybody will find it weird, but to me this is very wierd, even though it makes sence to build this, since it's basicaly very advanced lego cause they are essenticaly same car.

Put a BMW badge on it and it‘ll be an E30 lol

Well it's just like 90s german tuning or late 80s.

Makes me want an irmscher manta though

Definitely big „we have E30 at home” vibes

R3VIVAL-MOD3@reddit

Put nice wheels on it and the thing is perfect

[-]

mrsirawesome@reddit

It is from South Africa, Durban to be exact.

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

You know that from a plate, or know something more about the car? I would be glad if someone knew more.

[-]

C4Cole@reddit

From the plate probably, ND is the area code for Durban. Also I believe the car would be badged as a VW Fox, instead of Jetta.

The CitiGolf parts seem to be from a newer model, can't tell what year but definitely a post 90s one.

mrsirawesome@reddit

You're right about the badging, this is a Fox, although I've never seen a two door before

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

Yeah, looks like post 00 R line version

[-]

mrsirawesome@reddit

Yea From the plate, I'm South African

We have E30 at home

Looks clean, but why no stock bumpers? They’re interchangeable too

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

These are Stock to citigolf R line. So i think they suit the theme.

[-]

doeffgek@reddit

Aha.. that cat is new to me. Thought about normal Golf Mk1

[-]

OttoVonCranky@reddit

Not even slightly weird. I think the first gen Jetta was the best looking.

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

I understand. For me, it's wierd that someone took a now classic car (discontinued in 83) And used all parts from "same" car that was made until 2009.

[-]

OttoVonCranky@reddit

That has to be somewhere that does not experience rust.

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

I assume South Africa as it would cost a fortune to buy everything from CITI GOLF R line that was needed for this.

[-]

PsychoLynx82@reddit

Those number plates indicate the car is from Kwazulu Natal province in South Africa.

Dope

Neat

72corvids@reddit

I absolutely love it! Lawd, I'd drive this thing every damn day!

[-]

Mr1d1an@reddit

Never seen a 2 door Jetta before

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

Both MK 1 And MK 2 were made as coupés. I've also seen homebrewed MK 3 And MK 4 s .

[-]

FesteringNeonDistrac@reddit

I remember following a build thread on the vortex with the guy building that mk4. I've never been into VW but it was a cool build with ton of work put in and well executed

[-]

Fake-Podcast-Ad@reddit

Makes me think of the VW Fox, only it would be called "la renarde" and she would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.

[-]

FireDragonMonkey@reddit

Looks very clean! Excellent execution; one would hardly tell at first glance (except the wheels) that it didn't come this way from the factory.

[-]

KarmicDeficit@reddit

I really, really, really hate the wheels on this. I quite dig everything else.

[-]

GTA e30

Capri280@reddit

Looks great with the modern accoutrements. Though I think the wheels could have been an inch or two smaller

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

Well those are also OEM from CITI GOLF, so i understand the choice.

[-]

Capri280@reddit

Ah, that's surprising. They look like rubberbands on a car like this

[-]

Karlos742@reddit (OP)

As i wrote i think you're right they are bigger, but same design as CITI GOLF R line. So you're right. But for me it's still good.
