Well after 3 days of looking for a mk4 and debateing weather to have a 20vt or tdi I bought myself a Gt-tdi.Its the 115 bhp model done 137k with FSH 4 door I know I said im not mad on 4 doors but with the 4 kids just seemed a good choice tbh.Its in a dark grey colour which I really like not sure of the name it has the black FK type angel eyes fitted,front and rear V6 four motion splitter,miltec exhaust,rear spoiler and its had a remap not sure what its running but the chap reakons about 143bhp.It needs a few bits doing to it nothing major drivers side door stripes are coming off on the edge,stero speakers seem like there crackling and a good clean.I will be putting my TT comps on it as I think they will go well with the colour of the car and ill be getting a coilover kit for it.On the way home my dad tryed to race me and ened up being left in a cloud of smoke lol pictures to follow thanks.

Sounds like a tidy car with a few tasty mods :afro:

Also more doors FTW :grin:

:cry: but  :cool: enjoy the mk4 dude!

thats you and dom leaving the red mk3 clan and getting mk4's now...

I'm not really bonding with the Mk4 like I did with the Mk3, kinda regret selling the old tug boat :undecided:

However my new flat has plenty of off road parking with it so there is potential for a project car next year :lipsrsealed:

Boooo! Stick with the Mk3!!! I can understand why your after something else tbh. Done everything you want on the mk3, and without throwing silly money at it, you wont get much better in terms of looks, comfort, and performance, and you will end up throwing the money down the drain anyway. New Mk4 project it is, but I dont think you will enjoy it as much. Mk3 is the last of the real DIY cars before too many electronics etc, and specialist tools come in to play on the mk4 to make it viable.
