It's not too bad. Fan vibrates, Handbrake light comes on after a minute of driving (Suspected abs module fault), airbag light on. Body is tidy and she will come out well when I've finished with her :wink: I'd have liked a 5dr red or yellow one but this blue one was local so I had too!

Title: Re: Any1 have a Yellow Colour Concept GTI?
Post by: JayNesbitt on 06 July 2012, 18:31: I'm currently on standard wheels,painted black (very badly!!)

Seats are a mess,waiting for a response about re-dyeing them and a respray...thinking of a colour change but seeing how rare they are I'm not so sure now. Was gonna go matte grey.

Post by: thomson07 on 21 March 2013, 16:49: I have just bough a tatty Yellow colour concept for the princely sum of £300.
No history with car but ive a feeling it may have a dodgy MOT :sad:

The bonnet and front grille are shocking. Just deciding on wether to keep and spend money or scrap....

Why did you buy it for in the first place?, and why do you think its got dodgy M.O.T?
Title: Re: Any1 have a Yellow Colour Concept GTI?
Post by: thomson07 on 21 March 2013, 17:21: I needed a cheap runaround and this came up. Originally happy to run it till it dies, but ive got the gti bug back !
I checked the MOT history after buying, 2 MOTs ago it had a big fail sheet. The car must have been off the road as the mileage between that MOT and the next 12 months later was only 5 miles. Re-MOT'd with another big fail sheet, then retested a few days later with a Pass and no advisories. It seems like some of the work has been done, but im still suspicious.
