Title: Dave's mk3 GTi 8v
Post by: DaveHDi on 01 May 2012, 14:58

Well guys, I know I haven't long put up pics of my 1.4 SE but it sold last night and I picked up a lovely dragon green 8v GTi off a mate of mine this morning

It literally has the original folder and every invoice and MOT since it was new. Even have the original spare key and alarm fob which have never been used and still have the dealer tags attached. It's already fitted with coilovers and a powerflow cat back exhaust. It's also fitted with mulberry vr6 leather. Sure there's plenty more I haven't mentioned but I'll post a couple of pics to get this thread started and show you how the car stands right now

Pictures from my mates advert

As you can see from the pics, the boot lid needs replacing and the center caps for the wheels and I'll be happy until funds have recovered and I can do a few of my own modifications

Hope you like it

Dave

Nice looking Motor and in my fav Mark 3 colour  :wink:  Looks loads better after your clean and getting the plastic Black again. Only thing I would say is to get a deep splitter to compliment the lowering more but a nice clean looking motor  :cool:

Thanks matey. Already on the list. Thinking VR6 splitter should do the job nicely

Better to sell it and get black tbh.

Looks like you're doing it right so far! Glad you know what 'back to black' is since the previous owners didnt  :grin:
VR6 splitter is a good plan.
Only thing I can really find fault with is wheel weights on the outside face! Blasphemy!
Paint looks in great condition too.
