Post by: BA0GTI on 24 August 2012, 19:55
New to the forum but not new to forums so know the drill! Heres a couple of pictures of the pride and joy and some info! Brought a couple of days ago!

06 Reg
Black
3 door
68,000
FSH
18 inch monza alloys (soon to have a refurb and sprayed gloss black as they are haggard)
Cruise control
DSG gearbox w/ Paddle shift
Unfortunately no leather or upgraded stereo but the car was too good a deal to pass up.

Planned mods are Full Cat back, Upgraded air box and remap.....for now.

Dog did not come with the car :P

Bang tidy motor dude.

The damage on the rims is the dreaded 'white worm' i believe it's caused by the diamond cut finish becoming stone chipped and water, salt, dirt etc becoming trapped between the alloy face and the lacquered top coat.

If you finish the rims in black, then colour code the rear bumper, it'll look absolutely brilliant  :evil:

Lovely Labrador too mush  :tongue:

Very nice, personally I'd go go bright alloy or gunmetal on the wheels unless your going for the stealth look? Dog looks ace too!

Really love black. This car/colour has made me want my Monza's finished in matt black.
