The Rallye I have brought has loads of potential.

Is that estate agent speak? :grin:

LOL... yeah...I consider a Rallye to be an investment.. Dont see them dropping in price much more.. And only three years until they hit classic car status.

Apparently you can have a Rallye resprayed and you will never loose the money the respray cost you. if its a good job of course. Id say with a full respray the one i have would be worth 6k. If i were to do it though, id strip the engine out, interior out, have the floor plan resealed so it was like a new car. Would be worth it in the long run..

I dont want to be another mk2 with a set of Porsche times on it though...

Wheels do my head in i tell ya.. Just fitted 4 new boots to the car so whatever wheel im looking at needs to be a 16".

thing is, you are not just another MK2, yours is a Rallye, with some mint polished 7 Slots on it. I think that would look fat as f**k.

It's with them or Keskin KT5 Blacks i reckon. (sorry i got a thing for them at the mo)
