Hi thanks for accepting me.
I have recently purchased a 2017 Golf GTI in Reuben Colour.
I also own a 2004 Passat 1.8T.

Welcome Reuben  :smiley:
Do you have any photos of the GTI? Any plans for it?
The Passat is certainly of a decent vintage! Does it have many miles on it?

I've not got any plans to modify the GTI. I like it as it is.
The Passat 1.8T has only got 62000 miles on it. It only had 1 previous owner before me. I still enjoy driving the Passat especially the Turbo lag.

Thanks for posting the photos up, it’s really good to see it and there aren’t many Black Rubin’s on the forum.
I quite agree, the car is great in standard form. Always room for a few inexpensive embellishments though!
With the nice low mileage the Passat sounds like a keeper. That generation of Passat was such an accomplished car.
