Bought my Girlfriend this GTi for her birthday
« on: 20 March 2010, 13:30 »
Hi all,

Just purchased this car for the Mrs,s I use alot of M3 and RS forums for my cars previous and present.

Time had come to get her out of the M3 lol and into something that was less expensive to run as a everyday car.

The car itself is a 4 owner GTi 16v Oak Bay Green totally standard and original, no nasty speaker cut outs in the door cards and parcel shelf

Full Respray which is nearly perfect bar two stone chips :(

Wheels have been fully reconditioned and it has 4 new GoodYear Eagle tyres all round.

Runs and sounds sweet as a nut, no smoke, no rattles and pulls well.

Its currently in for a 12 months MOT which the previous owner is sorting out.

I collect on Tuesdasy/Wednesday :) I cant wait to see her face.

Any how, my Mrs is a Golf nut, back in the mid to late 90's she had two 16v MK2's, spending loads of money on full resprays, engine rebuilds and so on.

Myself I currently run a E36 M3 but love anything that has classic status.

I look forward to asking you guys lots of little questions on how to solve things etc

Pics of the car, sorry they are poor quality, took them on my mobile phone
Afternoon all.










Comments good or bad welcome
