Pain in the ass to own - loads of the parts are now obsolete and difficult to find, including the windscreen (no stock at VW either).

Also Rallyes are considerably heavier than normal Golf2s and thus need all that grunt to push the lard around.

Dimond hell You still can get a windscreen through windshield companies they have back stock and hold them for us G60 and rallye chaps. VAG might not have stock, but going through the insurance company and paying £60 excess is better!
Rallyes are only about 250KG heavier roughly I think, the four wheel trannie makes most of the weight of the Rallye.

7.5K thats fairly priced for low miles mines 60K and better spec RS2 charger, KW coilovers, Porsche brakes, 2.5K new factory paint! Every part of my Rallye is VAG reciept and got VAG stamps in the service book.  :wink:

Offers anyone LOL!

well if your buyer falls through...  :wink:

plus the unique selling point is that the daily has covered nearly a quarter of a million miles, you can brag about that to your friends down the pub  :cool: much more respect than owning a rallye

What was the reg of your one?

Most people run standard mk2 windscreens, mine has been that way for years.

Some things you don't need to have to spot they will be a pain in the ass.

It's like looking at some young, fit, pneumatic blonde bird.  Looks nice, but who would want to deal with the trantrums, high maintenance bills and supercharger rebuild costs?

Hang on, it's not like a fit young, blonde bird.  Given the weight penalty it'd be like being with a fat, high maintenance blonde bird.

I believe that the bonded windscreen gives the Rallye something like 40% of it's chassis rigidity. :nerd:

P.S. Not sure if it's 40% but it's quite a lot.

but when they look that good though, all is forgiven

I love the idea of the Ralllye but have always had issues with the styling. Cartainly the factory wheels look too small and skinny in those apping great arches.

Would have one? Hell yeah!

To be fair Chris my rears needs some spacers to fill those arches, but I loose the ride if I get rubbing on those 17" I do still get a some rubbing on the fronts, but too lazy to roll them arches!
