Title: Just bought a GTI *new pics*
Post by: davidwilkie84 on 16 October 2005, 08:32
Pick it up next saturday, 100,000 miles, FSH, 1 month warranty £1250
Only signs of rust i can see are above the handle on bootlid (quite common?) and just a 2p size patch on the passenger side door. I had a check underneath and it seems to be in good nick, obviously will check it out a lot more when i pick it up. Not going to spend a lot of money ont he exterior of this car because i think it looks damn fine already.... heres a quick pic, taken off phone, car still needs to be valeted.

and i wouldnt mind stiffening it up a bit and then *possibly* powder coating the wheels black, opinions ?

Is it a Colour Concept?

Looks in good nick for £1k! Hopefully a decent buy.

yeah should be a good buy, i was just up having a look underneath it when they cleaning it, bit of rust under the sills but to be expected for a 11 year old car. may or may not get this seen to shortly after i get it. Dont know if its a colour concept....

Very tidy car mate :cry:.

Strangely I actually prefer those earlier rims to the later spec (M, N, P reg cars) ones that I have on mine :huh:.
