Congrats mate, she looks sweet.
Is that an early model? i ask as mine looks like this :-



On the cover it says VR6 DOHC on mine, on yours it says VR6 2.8.
Just wondered  

[golfvr6]

Oh yes, i see its an R reg, so newer  
Where abouts are you based?

See what you mean.  Now you mention it, I think the L-reg example my friend used to own was stamped with 'DOHC'.

It's a 97 R - it was first registered in July.  It really is in great condition - I think it has benefited from a service every 6k miles!Bodywork is sweet - not a scratch / stone chip on on her.  And all for ?3995.

Wasn't sure about the lack of arches/fully coded bumpers on the later models at first, but I quite like the clean lines now.....

I'm based in Exeter at the moment.

Looks very, very nice.  Congratulations!  You won't regret it.

Well Done sounds like a steal to me  

With regards to the 'clean' look, I quite like it. It gives it a bit of a q-car look as young master saxo generally doesn't knowwhat he's up against until he sees the badge on the back  

Mine has a similar history i.e lease co. first owner but as already said, this can be a benefit as anything going wrong generally gets fixed by a main dealer straight away.

I still remember the great grin factor of planting my right foot in fifth on a clear motorway for the first time and just watching the speedo climb almost all the way to the top!!!

I also like the cleaner colour coded bumpers / arches look.... tempted to get mine done - mines also an R-reg, but they gave the Cabriolet's the matt black arches, etc

the clean vr6 look is amazing. looks even better slammed with a set of 17's. I want a VR6 but i dont know if i could part with my gti. might buy myself a vr6 and keep the gti everyones happy!
