Hi guys, i thought i would introduce myself as i have just purchased an E21.
I also own an edition 30 vw golf, and fancied something classic in which wouldn't cost me the earth, and thought the e21 was a good route to take.

A little about the car:

1982 with 2 owners
68000 miles on the clock with full service history
No rust what so ever and had been resealed by previous owner
Absolutely immaculate inside with no signs of wear at all

i am not keen on the wheels at all, what do you guys think of them?

Hi. That's a clean car! but yeah, the wheels don't suit it at all. You'd need to be much lower to pull these off..Any chance you know what they are? can't tell from that pic if they're some sort of cheap knockoff with fake bolts, or actually multi piece.

Hi welcome. Nice clean car for sure. Wheel's are ok, I've definitely seen worse! I think it would look a tad better with a lower stance. Nothing that can't be sorted though.

Welcome here! I'm with the posters above, real clean and original car! Apart from those wheels and the fact that the front bumper is a tad tilted it looks pretty good! Enjoy this rather rare piece, loks like it comes straight from a time travel machine haha!

thanks guy, very chuffed with the purchase!!

they are multi peice but unsure what the make is. ill have to find this out

definitely agree on the stance, just unsure whats the best way to lower is.


do you mean the bumper is like leaning forward? i didnt really notice that tbh

They look similar to SSR watanabe's, but can't really tell from that angle.

Just found out that these are halfords wheels.

Maybe there are not split rims, but i am not keen on them

Nice clean car. Best condition grey interior i've seen yet, always wanted a grey interior

as thats what my dads 323 had when i was a boy

It is nice, however i am trying to source some leather seats.

Also the wheels i have are very similar to jbe21 post, however my wheels have more holes in them for the wheel bolts.

lol, looks like you found a buyer for your seats already then

Nice!

yep first dibs on the interior if you replace it please

for sure, any of you guys have a louver i can buy, im guessing these are rare as hell

your right they are few and far between and expensive from the last couple i saw for sale

£800 - £1000

I would think German ebay would be the best place to look
