:undecided: well i have gone and done it :lipsrsealed:
Bought a golf to use as a runner and I now find it more appealing than the GTI :shocked:
It just has more character than the GTI :laugh:
So, which would you keep ?
The CL
(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF2414.jpg)
or the GTI
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/chuff69/DSCF2334.jpg)
And why :huh:
-
where as the GTI goes up in value with time, the CL will go down. GTI will be a better all rounder.
-
erm, as the cl cost me not a lot, its almost doubled in value with minimal effort :rolleyes: as per insurance valuation :cool:
and as a d reg, its older, and also rarer than gti's :cool: :wink:
but thanks for the input :grin:
-
gti :cool:
-
both
Nick
-
GTI definately
-
hmmm being as your gti is similar to mine but yours being in better condition how bout you swap yours with mine then keep both will save you the hassle of selling and decision making
here to help

What he said. The value of the CL has only increased in regards to your own personal purchase costs. To everyone else it is just a CL.
The GTI however will always carry the badge, and with it the value.
-
Just wondering, did you vote for the CL yourself on the poll?? :wink:
-
They've both got too many doors :tongue:
Only kidding, the GTI all the way!! The CL is sweet but in time you'll find yourself wishing it was the real deal :cool:
-
gti all the way. much better base to start fetteling from. 1600 carb enignes have charicter and are good fun with a webber but they can also be utter sods when they want to be
-
gti fo'sho.
you see the gti come down the road, people think its a classic, old skool weapon that they remembered from childhood. They see a cl they think 'oh, my mum used to have one of them'.
-
:grin: @ Chris - thats what me mate says, but his dad had one , not his mum :laugh:
thats half of the appeal :wink:
-
both
Nick
Wot e said init.
But if you MUST choose, keep the GIT. You will regret selling your GIT. Use the CL over winter, get the GIT sorted then over next summer drop that 16V lump you got in the CL, hey presto you've got 2x 16V :cool: keep the CL looking CL but with the 16V lump it will be a nice little sleeper :evil:
Or give me the 16V lump you got :grin:
-
Or give me the 16V lump you got :grin:
I know of a potentially cheap 16v lump kicking around :wink:

You have PM in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... :wink:

Keep both and strip the GTI out and keep it as a track slapper.
-
CL with a 20v t conversion
:cool:
-
CL with a 20v t conversion
:cool:
can't remember seeing that as a choice.
if you think you've made money on the cl, sell it and make a profit.

That's you crapping yourself about the rebuild cost when it blows the engine then, is it?
-
i am.... embarassingly... liking the de-arched look of the cl.... :cool:
-
is he not putting arches on it anyway though?
arches ftw
-
not after being let down by someone on Fleabay :cry:
and Chris, its summat I cant put me finger on, but yeah, i like the looks more. even tried the BBS on the CL today, but they dont look right :sad:
MEw, MANUAL choke mate, starts better than the GTI :laugh:
-
if you fancy big bumpering it i have arches for the left hand side only here for a couple of tins of tennants? might be cheaper picking up spare arches as you go rather than trying to get an overpriced "arch kit" as i've seen on ebay.
-
will NEVER big bumper it :sick:
