I'd go and have a look at it, at least with it being a DSG the one lady owner won't have killed the clutch! Needs led's though but apart from that it looks tidy.
Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂

GTD is a great car - not quite as fast as the GTi but a lovely cruiser and speeds up for hills! I get about 55 on a run and 45 around town.  The main thing is it effortless to drive and always has more power in the tank.

Love the rear LED lights that come as standard about a year ago.  The newer ones come with Leather.  I love the Xenon lights with LEDs - I do a lot of night driving and they work really well.

Hope you find a good one....

Echo Cliffster's comments, the Xenons are a must tbh..I always used to kick myself that didn't tick that box until I got Kennys...

Good luck with the search!

Yeah the dynaudio is a must as I have the alpine kit in my bmw and quite frankly is amazing.

So you guys reckon it could be a good one?
Mr GTD, did you buy the ones from Kenny? Have you a decent camera you can take some good quality pictures with for me please?

Thanks for your help so far guys, not too many horror stories with the DSG but I need to be sure I'll average more then my BMW

118D manual m sport with 18"s - currently achieving 48.7mpg driving 32 miles to work at roughly 65mph.

Will the GTD average more then that? Only thing I'll miss from my 1er is the £30 road tax for the year :-(

Thanks Cliff. I take it they're OEM then?

The reason I asked for pictures of Kenny's as they're replicas and I wanted to see and hear what people thought of them as I don't think they're many other people in the UK with them :(
