Eventually - Picked this MK2 up
« on: 15 July 2012, 23:24 »
So after looking for ages I saw this on the bay. As it turned out I didn't go and look at due to the p!ss poor weather and took a chance, paid up front and had it delivered last weekend  :grin:

So a week in and surprisingly it has started on the button every time, nothing has fell off or broken.......So far so good :cool:

It's not perfect but not to shabby considering the money involved and the roll cage will go when I have time to have a look at getting it out. Anybody know the car ????

If it ever stops chucking it down I'll get my proper camera out and take some better snaps  :smiley:

For now here's another that was quickly taken with my phone.

Welcome M8.... :smiley:

Is it a GTI or a Driver?? Not that we really care that you have to own a GTI to be on here... :wink:

Just that your car screams to me that its a either an early car with big bumpers or it a late spec driver with big bumpers...  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It's an older GTI tarted up with big bumpers.  :smiley:

I know some of the purists here won't like that sort of thing but I'm not bothered, the average bloke in the street that I drive past won't have a clue one way or another.   :laugh: :laugh:

The grill is the one thing that so far a few people have commented on but again I quite like it the way it is, maybe I'll pick up a spare original at some point and try it. Its got some sort of headlight conversion wired in so not sure how much if any of the original set up is there, not really had time to have a proper look just yet.

Fine, getting plenty of use in the week or so I've had the car, all it has done is chuck it down up here, went out on Friday for an afternoon on the lash with Big M and had to go and buy a coat !!!!

I hope that's not an HID kit and just the more common relay upgrade that many older golfs benefit from.

Nice car BTW, as already said, only thing i'd change is the grille.
