Just bought a GTI
« on: 05 August 2006, 15:28 »
Just bought my first GTI.

It's a Tornado Red Big Bumpered 8v.

 :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

It's on a G plate with 138,000 miles, centre back exhaust and lowered on adjustable suspension.

It's been pikyed up...shopping list,sun strip but that's all coming off when she comes home with me tomorow.

Then i'm putting my Revolution 5 spokes (black with silver lip) on her and the job's a good'un.

Now to sort out insurnance on it... :angry: I'm only 18 haha!

 :smiley:

What a day.

What a day...cleaned her up real good and remove some of the mess the previous owner left.

It's lowered on Bilstein shocks and here she is:

(my wheels need to go on soon,with some spacers..)
