Two - Three years. I find with older cars less goes wrong. had a peugeot 307 and spent to much money trying fix stupid faults all the time, that car was meant to last a long time for me but had it just under a year and gave up lol.

i agree with new cars im insured on my parents car and it was a c4 mpv thingy lasted 2 and half years and then just died, had so many faults. used to just stop randomly on motorways and stuff so pretty dangerous. my golfs done 141000 miles and since ive had it just had too replace tyres, breather pipe and thermostat  old is always best.

And whats the common denominator???




Both French pieces of sh!te! I can also trump you on the 307, I had mine for a total of 4 months before getting shot!!

the funniest thing was it went too 4 different garages and all them didn't have a clue what was wrong with it they all just said we need to wait for our diagnostics machine to be updated as it wont read the code

Same here but i went to four different garages and each one never had a clue nothing came up on the machine and they all just stand there confused ready to take your cash! such jokes. my 307 just cut out when it liked i did little things like replace throttle body etc, But still did it.

but yes stay away from the french cars.

only paint shop i could think of was b&q they didn't seem to do what i wanted. so i went to VW them selfs but felt like a right tit standing in there huge show room, so went True story lol.

ill look around for paint shops. the arches need a re spray as the colour dont match right. i paid £40 for these fake GTI look alike that dont actually line up well around the wheel arch so i no more nails them. only thing is thats for life now  .

Door cards looking ok. (maybe if i leave the door open to long when it rains it all wash out ha)

Paint shop...B&Q 

You perhaps should of tried the arches in black...as that what the GTI's have....

How about taking the door cards off and staining them indoors??

[search]

Yeah i just though B&Q sell a lot of paint maybe they would. 

Door cards have came out ok.
and i'v taken the wheel arches off now, as they didn't actually fit tbh. (aftermarket for you)
New grill came today.

[SoundillusioN]

Arches didn't fit! That sucks.. suppose you can't send them back now they are painted.  Try stuff out first next time.
