New to VW's - pics of my new GTi 16v
« on: 09 April 2005, 18:41 »
Hello guys, just thought id introduce myself as a newby on this forum.  :tongue:

Just got my first VW about a week ago and here are some pics of it.

Its a Mk3 GTi 2.0 16v in Majestic Blue which already had some nice mods including full leather heated interior and the alloys. I absolutely love the car.
Having a little teathing problem with misfire, but I have read through the 'Garage' threads and am going to try a few idea's from there. Have already done a few things but to no avail, but I am determined to persevere and get the car running right because apart from that I absolutely love it. The last owner was a lady driver (with the same love of car's as I) but her husband is a VW enthusiast so you can imagine the loving care and money that has been spent on it.

Not really planning any more mods at the moment. Oh, apart from correcting the eye brows which I like the look of but think they need to be switched over to loose that gap. The 17 inch Alloy's are off an Audi but I think they suit the car so probably wont be changing them, they are in real good condition. Its also been lowered as you can see, and gives a really nice ride. Rubbing slightly so we are going to higher the rear adjustables just slightly. And of course the de-badged grill is already done.

All in all, I think I found myself a gem and I am now hooked. Hope you all like it!!!
Look forward to chatting to you all....  :wink:

(p.s - pics were taken the day I bought the car so arent the best. Will get some nicer ones later on, including some of the interior  :laugh:)

Just wait till I get my little misfire problem sorted, then you'll have to watch out on the roads too.  :grin:
Girl racer alert.  :evil:
Having to drive like a pussycat at the moment and its killin me. It'll be so nice to get out there and thrash some kiddy racer butt!! In a completely legal way of course.  :undecided:

I have replied to a post in the 'Garage' forum (Help for a newbie - Mk3 Gti 2.0litre 16v - started by Len405)  explaining the problem, so anyone who can reply with some help would be wonderful.
