Its diamond black, cream leather intrior, electric roof, bbs wheels blah blah blah.
Il get pics upafter iv cleaned it at the weekend but its beautiful and Im delighted!
Hopefully you wont mind me stayin around here!
-
good luck withyas new ride dude, bung some pics up.... shame you left vw.... but youll always come back and at least your 'inbetween phase' ride is german....
:cool:
did you chop the golf in on it or are you floggin it?? you know your gonna get hairdresser comments now...
:lipsrsealed:
-
im sellin it privatly. i know theres plenty of interest in it around here as iv heard people talk about it so shouldnt have too many probs sellin it. Il take all the hairdresser comments that can be thrown at me, especially when im driving round the beautiful guernsey coast roads with the roof down!
My love will always be vw's and iv no doubt il have them again one day but this was too good to miss! Pics on saturday hopefully
-
A Beemer Rag top, whats going on Golf Pro you aint turned in to a hairdresser fella? lol
Nice cars, I would have one for sure. :cool: Good choice.
-
I have had ample hairdresser comments but as the roof folds into the boot and im lookin all smug il take it!
here's some pics i took before work. Needs a clean but otherwise i love how standard it is. From mk3 to 3series.

so what do you think? its a 93 lux model, its only done 72k, has full service history, got a couple of bits I'l iron out like the drivers seat bolster and perhaps some up to date lighting but otherwise Im happy. So i suppose it's gues the price time.
-
£2500? i dont really know much about the cost of bmw's? some splits and a drop would look great.
-
Bling bling eh?
Those desperate holiday birds will be jumping into it mate! :laugh:
And yes you could do with a new hairstyle! :grin:
-
excellent choice mate. black and tan combo looks superb. E30 aswell. well done.
-
you know you're not supposed to fold the roof down when its wet, right? :huh:
-
yeah, i gave it a good towel dry before i did it, only everyone had been askin for pics so i had to get some first thig this mornin. Thanks for replies people, glad you like it!
-
Has this new car got angel eyes by any chance?
-
looks nice mate, get some phat rims and drop it! :cool: i have seen bm's on Borbet's! they look mint!
-
yeah not my cup of tea but at least its still german (says he who's had a bit of jap in his time... lol :grin: ).... only one ive seen i like is i think mrBlue's now that was lush.... in standard trim they dont do owt for me.... im sure it wont stay standard for long though mate!!
:smiley:

Aslong as your happy with it Phil, whos gives a sh!te if it aint vw :wink:
welcome to the cabriolet family.. :wink: :kiss:
Dinx :kiss:
-
I am well pleased with it. I bought it with every intention of keepin it fairly standard. Perhaps a few subtle changes like updating the lights and tidying a few bits up here and there but i love it. Although some bbs splits and coilovers are tempting in time. :smug:
-
are they the same stud pattern as vw's, i.e could your ats cups fit?
-
dont ewant cups on that. cups are the wheels i hate!
-
ain't it funny how people have a vw and sell it and come back to owning one.Thats what i did,I had 2 mk2 golf gti's sold up and bought a clio 172 tossed around with suspension,wheels etc and now gone back to a mk2 golf gti :undecided:
-
Ill have a £20 bet with ya that ya come back to dubs mate. Ive had a few E30s in my time but always come back to dubs. Just watch the arse end on em mate they can be a real hand full in the wet, when i say ive had a few thats coz i crashed em all :cry: but they dont break mate..... :smiley:
-
wiked choice! ( and chers Gaz :wink:) That looks in excellent condition. how much did it set you back?
Electric roof! Working ones are hard to come by mate. Make sure you take great care of that!
get some rear headrests too :cool:
I shouldnt say this but join the E30 Zone.co.uk

badly miss it.
-
Badly miss it.
I can see why Mr Blue i still love Alpina alloys. Ive just sold my Mrs E36 318is coupe is been a brilliant car :cry: but had to make way for a mk4 v5.

Yeah it is in good order. Needs some attention in a few places but for its age i was impressed. The hood is pretty good. Needs some encouragement here and there but in time il get that seen to. Its hardly been used tho so i recon its just a bit stiff in places. Good advice about the rear headrests, where the hell will i find some of those tho!?!
Its cost me 2grand. For the condition and with all the toys, as well as service history, leather and the electric hood I think i did well. Plus only 72K on the clock!

dont ewant cups on that. cups are the wheels i hate!
why? they look sweet, i nearly got them for my golf! they look mint when there dimond cut! :cool:

Add the words "couldn't pull the" and "off a" then!

now thats what i like....... them there items would sort it.... :cool: :cool: i think you can get away with the hairdresser comments cause you live on an island?? lol....

After only 2 hours of having signs in the window the golf sold for £2250! Can you even believe Iv made a profit!!!!!
Couple of quick questions tho...
1 how do I remove the seats from the golf to replace clips so they dont wobble any more
2 Does anyone have a spare pair of mirror adjustors and a manual window winder they want to sell? I have cash waiting.
-
Can you even believe Iv made a profit!!!!!
even with all the mods etc??
-
you got a good price there phil to be honest, but then again they have got themselves a nice looking golf in return :cool:
-
Yeah I thought the same. It did look superb and had had pleanty of love and cash thrown at it but after all that it was a 14 year old car that was starting to rust, had 143k on the clock and had no service history! With it only being a 1.4 aswell i think iv done quite nicely. The bm is so much fun to drive, especially with the roof down. im goin to keep my eye out for a mk2 to use for the winter though, can't stand bein dubless for long
-
aye, wise decision. an 8v GTI mk2 or a driver or something similar?
-
an 8v gti would be ideal, depends how reliable (read cold) the bimmer turns out to be. Just seen some gorgous bbs rm's on ebay, wish i hadnt looked now!
-
ah the temptation that is ebay! be strong! :laugh:
