i bought it for £1350 i think, with a spare gear box.
i did put a eye brow spoiler on her but only put 3 screws in not really thinking about it, that ended up on the m5 somewhere. :embarassed: so another one is on order. want to get some crystal fogs for it, sort the boot out and tidy the interior and any other bits. also need to sort out why its shudders in 5th at 70mph. no major plans for it right now as i like the way it looks, am tempted to buy another set of wheels for it too. :)

Hi & Welcome! :smiley:
£1350?!! :shocked: as it sits?! Bargain!!
Great pics, not much i would change on that, i think the wheels suit it and look wicked (but let me know if you do sell em :wink:), im personally not a fan of eyebrow spoilers myself.

yep. did knock him down a lil from his asking price. i wont be selling the wheels, i just like the idea of being able to change the wheels to a different set to compleatly change the look of the car but also keeping the bbs's. :wink:
ill give you a shout if i do decide to sell them though :smiley:
ta for the comments.

Welcome to the club/forum. Nice clean mk2.
-
hi and welcome
nice car :smiley:
-
Hi there Avril. lovely looking mk2 and amazing 'in the woods' shots. Is it Helios blue or Royal blue metallic or something completely different?
-
hi Avy! x

Welcome to the forum. :smiley: The reflective shot looks pretty cool. :afro:

hi hun
its helios blue :smiley: yeh i like the 'in the woods' shot too :cool:, still trying to beat that shot but not found anywhere yet, im suprised because i live in cornwall. would of thought i could find somewhere better. i must not be taking in the lovely scenery round me and just enjoying driving the golf too much :smiley:
-
ooh, the falmouth person on edition 38, hello!
Theres many an awesome photo opportunity spot round cornwall, just gotta look around :) try goin up to the north coast beaches like portreath and stuff, got some quality photos of mine there (before getting stuck in the sand :laugh:)
-
how are you finding the golf compared to the pugs? i used to have a mint 205 gti and loved it.
-
Hi Avril, I've just looked at your pics here and in the MK2 section :smiley: WOW! :cool:
Hope to get mine up to that standard one day :grin:
-
welcome to the forum hun :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
hello and welcome
that looks to me like Royal Blue, looks too dark to be helios blue. Check the paint code as if its Royal Blue it should be LA5U
p.s, nice looking car :smiley:
-

it handles just as well if not better but dont know if it handles better than a 309, awsome handling cars. i do still love the pugs, not so much the newer ones. think the golf has a lot more character to it and theres so much more you can do to one to make it different from the rest you see, where as in the pug world its very hard to do anything with out being criticised for anything and everything you do like not having a pugsport on your car. :laugh:
i even love the retro dash in the golf. everyone i know think its ugly but i think its great.
plus i think the vw owners are alot more friendly :wink: not saying pug owners arnt just a few can be a bit chavy.
thanks for the welcome guys :)

hmm to be honest i dont know a lot about what colour it is. last owner told me it was helios blue, but if i wasnt told what colour it is, i would of said its more green than blue :undecided: ill have a looky at the paint code when i have the time. cheers!! i wouldnt wana look silly and tell people its helios blue when it could be something different :embarassed:

welcome :grin:
why does everyone keep in going on about the woods :rolleyes: :wink: :grin:
-
Welcome :smiley:
Tasty MK2 you've got there, looks spot on i'd say.
Keep the BBS wheels and forget about the eyebrow!
-
Welcome to the forum :cool:
-
wow still getting warm welcomes, i do feel special :smiley:
will be keeping the bbs wheels but they need a bit of a tidy up, who ever sprayed them last didnt do a good job, so thats one job to get done over the summer. already got a eye brow spoiler for it so no going back now unless this one wants to go on flying lessons like the last.
can anyone tell me how you change the time on the golf, cant find where you do it :embarassed:
thanks again for the warm welcome

look either side of the mfa display and you'll see a recessed button, shove a ball point pen in and push it. One does hours, the other the minutes, mine needing pushing really hard, feels like you're gonna push the clocks through the dash!!!
-
ahh chears hun. i did try that but maybe i need to push harder like you say.
thanks:)
-
