Liking the Fabia and miss the ones I had tbh as they are great cars.
Getting back to your GTI, we’ll I’m in the same boat tbh. I posted mine up on a few platforms etc and even offered it to the competition sites thinking with the way Mike had been done and the genuine, very expensive, aftermarket parts used it’s go as wasn’t asking much for them all. However I’ve heard nothing from the comp sites and had a few offers but either wanting to PX or saying mileage is a little too high.
I’ve nearly removed everything now and returning the car back to stock.
It’s more hassle but will give the biggest return and open the market up to more people after just a stock car.
As others have said the issue is most people avoid a modified car on the assumption it’s been treated far harder and with less care than a stock car BUT in most cases it’s the complete opposite. I’m way more careful with my cars than I see most people are with their stock ones. Most just a think if it as just that, a car to get you from A to B and usually just on tick so happy to just hand it back and move on when ready. I on the other hand am anal about where I park, avoiding potholes and crappy roads where I can, cleaning it fastidiously, repairing/replacing parts as soon as I think there might even be the slightest chance of an issue, etc, etc.
Anyway good luck with the de-modding and sake of the car buddy.
Mine will be on autotrader end of next week once the KW’s, Akra and Forge intercooler are all removed next week. Oh and just need to source a stock bonnet lol.
