MK3 Golf GTI 16v upgrades?? Ideas please.
Discussion
Hello,
I have managed to bag a very nice early Mk3 16v. '95 M plate.
I'd like some feedback regards some ideas I have for replacement/ upgrading parts on it.
1. New Exhaust. I need middle & rear sections and I want a SS system, but I don't have too big a pair of pockets. And I don't want a drain pipe (or pair) sticking out of the back. tbh a SS but original looking pair of tailpipes would be the ideal.
I have looked at Milltek and a couple of others...
2. I have the 280mm brake discs and I would like someone to recommend some upgraded discs & pads for the car as wall.
Greenstuff pads. with black diamond have been all I have looked at so far. Would I need to upgrade both front & rear at the same time, or not?
3. I have the older 5 spoke wheels that have 205 50 R15 tyres, but there is an option to go for the more widely available 195 50 R15 tyres. obviously the width would make choice wider, but would it give up much grip? The lack of width on a 195, as opposed to a 205 section?
Lots of things to go at, I welcome any feedback/ ideas, etc.
Cheers PaulieC

Cheers Dave for the ideas, will post pics when I have taken some good uns, and its shiny! I thought of ebay for some bits but not really for the exhaust, though, good shout.
What about the new blade type wiper blades? would they be any better than a new set of the older style ones? Am I being chavvy? All I want is the best wipers out there!
