Is this a good buy?
« on: 11 July 2012, 17:03 »
Im after a golf 1.8t gti.  Not much round my area.  Only this.  Whats your view on the price and mods? owning for only 4months a bit suspect?

Looks to me like it's had paint on the drivers side, the drivers door and rear quarter don't look a very good match to me :undecided:

Why would you put a 360 degree baring on a ko3?? If you went to the hassle of takin turbo off wouldn't you just put a bigger one on???
