Nothing to see here

My Indigo blue GT TDI 150 oil burner

Bought end of last August Its got heated leather, cruise control, R32 Xenons, some crazy spec rear seats with built in booster seats that pop up etc

As I got it, all standard low milage unabused.







First was coilovers, black mirror covers, new wheels that needed a refurb, new grille and bumper grilles, smoothed the airbox and fitted some pressed plates.

Before



After
