Newbie - mk3 owner
« on: 26 July 2010, 14:52 »
Hi folks, just thought id say hi, introduce myself and my new ride. Ive just picked up a N plate Golf GTi, 8v, flat black and totally standard. Shes my first dub (had a brief affair with a mk3 gl diesel, but bought and sold within a month without putting her on the road!) my other car is an Audi S2 Avant.

Shes fairly tidy with a few niggles here and there, bit of a whine/rumble from the f/n/s reckon it might be a bearing or shaft. Bit clunky on shifts or lift off, engine/gearbox mounts? Interiors clean but seats need new bolsters or new seats (my fat ass is hard against metal frame at mo!)

Ideally she be lowered, 16" or 17" alloys (anybody got anything cheap for sale?) read and clear rear lights, and ideally a vento front end. Ive attached a pic from the ad when i got her, ill stick a few up at weekend when i detail her.

All the Best

Al

Oh decisions decisions!! Yeah im happy with flat black, great when is cut and polished (means repairs are piss easy too!) D90's would be nice also (anthracite grey)  but no doubt ill have changed my mind in about 20min, oh there it goes now, ill have some BBS LMs now! lol

As said already looks like a good buy :afro:

As Wayne said, personally i'd stick with standard rear lights. Also with the wheels I wouldn't go any bigger than 16"  :cool:
