Just got my dream motor :-) **UPDATED**

[Deano2711]

Cheers for the comments and I am looking forward to using this as my daily. Always fancied a Dragon Green VR6. And Daz....not sure on the drop but it is low. The front splitter has been removed by the previous owner due to the speed humps by him but will be back on this weekend. I don't fancy Black wheels but will be transferring the bbs vr6 alloys off my 8v onto this to make it look better.

Well have spent a large chunk of the weekend swapping over the alloys between the VR and the 8v. Took the four wheels off the GTI and swapped with the VR wheels....got to the last wheel on the VR and two wheel nuts were locked solid, bent two standard wheel braces, snapped a ratchet, bent a bar, snapped a breaker bar and eventually after two and a half hours managed to get them off !!! Swapped over the deep splitter, bonnet struts and the interior stuff. Decided against the lights as the smoked indicators I have have no fogs and I don't want to remove the fogs from the VR. Anyway, just cleaned it up and here are some better pics.

This car was sitting in my ebay watch list. Was intending on bidding for it.

Looks better now you've swapped the wheels over. The wheels were the only thing that put me off on ebay.

Is a smart looking motor though.

Sorry about that Buddy....went to view it Wednesday night and bought it back home with me.  At least your sorted now Mate    You can just about see in the second pic that I put the other alloys on my 8v.

Thats ok. I got what I wanted. couldve done without the six hour train journey to get it mind you. One day on public transport was more than enough to encourage me to slow down and keep my licence.

Are you going to sell the 8v or wait and see how much time your spending at the pumps first.

I had an L plate vr about seven years ago. Couldnt afford the ins back then but with careful driving (picking your moments to embarrass much newer cars) it wasnt too bad on fuel.

[Deano2711]

I am thinking of selling it but it has sentimental value to me. I owned the car a few years back and regretted selling it. Then a few months back it came up for sale in a bit of a sorry state so I bought it back and got it looking loads better again. It has faults but I love the car to bits and think if I sell I will regret it again but then again I don't see the point in having it sitting on the drive all the time.  Who knows ??

Looks loads better with the wheels swopped over!

Also seeing yours that low is making me think that I need to go lower with mine

Looks spot on.

However I think it would look better with standard rear lights and if it was sitting a little higher on the rear.

Those old wheels were standard fit on CC and later highlines.

I did think they were CC wheels but wasn't completely sure. As for the lights I am not usually a big fan of these but they look loads better in the flesh.

Yep BBS Solititude's they are quite hard to find.
