what sort off money do u think i should be looking at to get a nice 1
i would say between 3.5k-4.5k .... it varies some been moded so it will cost a little bit more to buy or some a bit cheaper but standard .... think now is the right time to buy cuz xmas coming up ...
-
exaclty wat i was tinking m8 he offered it to me for 3grand sound cheap but wen u think bout it it dont lol
also wats the difference on some engines i seen some say 5v turbo and others say 20v turbo obvoiusly the 20 v is valves but which is the better engine
cheers
-
Well depends what you class as "nice".
A nice tidy lower mileage 1.8t .... humm between 5-6k. More if you want a later model.
-
yeah all depends on what type it is.. if its the earlier throttle cable type then there are a bit cheaper due to age but not as good for modding due to ko3 rather than ko3s [can map to around 220bhp as standard] and no vvt. id save and get a nice one for about 5 grand with nice grey recaro's, spoiler, better engine and resonable miles [70000]... it will be worth it
-

the only down side it got lexus lights
-
NOOO !!!
Mine came with Lexus lights when I bought it. I actually got them swapped over for a UK spec GTi cluster on the way home from picking it up lol.
Still havn't managed to sell them.
Change the rims, toooooo common and dont really suite the Golf (just my opinion).
Number plate looks a little suspect, its a £60 fine from the rozzers if they decide they want to.
Other than that (lol sorry) it looks the nuts :) You clearly got the best colour ;)
-
soz fella but i like the wheels had them on my mk3 just sold personal opoin tho me thinks but yer the colour is sweet and the plates were the first thing i noticed lol but well happy with it and think it was well worth the money as i did original rears light s with it and the original wheels to with v good pirellis all round
-
Is this the one that has done 88k?
-
no he phoned me to tell me the turbo blew that day so i didnt bother this 1 done 90 k
-
Mate she looks awsome i like those wheels dude, i think over all you have a cracker, if its got lezus back lights though........ they should be burnt and jamp on haha, great looking car though mate... :smiley:

-
Changer should be in that little compartment in the boot on the L/H side. (Unless it's got the in-dash version, but I think you'd notice that, LOL!!).
-
maybe it hasnt got 1 then lol god know i know in the dash it has a tape player with a cd above and on the cd it has option of of cd or multi changer god knows
-
Yeah, they all have that, but dont all have the changer (like mine did, now have an aftermarket HU).
