New GTi sign sealed and ordered....

[telboy]

Ok just to let you know, ive pulled out of the cheap 05 black GTi today, decided that 45000 on the clock is too much and an MOT is not what ive had to contend with for quite some years, so ive bagged myself what i think is a bargain last minute deal(last day of the month) at Peter Cooper Southampton VW dealers.
They have a 2007 5 door GTi in steel grey metalic.Lovelly DSG, full leather,Dvd sat nav,6 disc with armrest,18" monza II's.Multifunction steering wheel with flappy paddles,parking sensors, winter Pack and with get this......... 960 miles on the clock!!!!!!!!.The car was owned by Mrs Peter Cooper.Cars been sat in her drive for months as shes now in Majorca) all for £21k!!!, origonally up for £24995. traded the Passat for £18500, and payed today £3500 in total. Words cant discribe,am well excited. Picking her up nxt week once private plates have been assigned. 

can anyone direct me to some Steel Grey photo's plz on the net. cheers  my lovellys 

May be a steel grey ed30 with Monzas, but you'll get the general picture

I have to say STEER well clear of the shine....sure its shiney, but get some maguires or autoglym yourself, seriously. Now this will make you laugh...a friend of mine, who works in a garage told me that it costs them wholesale about £10 plus labour....they then put the pimpliest faced tea making no-mark on it..., howver one time it back fired on them, cos the pimply faced no-mark used wait for it.....WIRE WOOL on the bonnet of a new car Lol!!

Needless to say the spotty faced callow youth was duely despatched ..I am sure that in most cases you are not getting a good product used by someone who is intent on detailing our car...you are getting a good product used by someone who is more interested in beer, burds and a night out with his mates than protecting your car....beware...and take some time to do it yourself...its worth it seriously and it allows you to get u close and personal with your new car...without wanting to sound all Garry Glitter about it.

Far better to take your Mrs/ Partner away for a night in a nice hotel having first arrived in the new car...a good excuse if you ask me for testing the car, showing it off and kidding the Mrs on that you care more about HER than the car...tee hee.

yes we are going to Hollywell bay in Cornwall in april for a 5 night cheap holiday in a Posh caravan (if there is such a thing!). spent all the funds on the GTI so important things come 1st!!!!!!!. Last time i was down in that part of the country, they dont have traffic lights believe it or not, just roundabouts, great for mpg, and so good roads down there especially over exmoor etc  for stretching ones legs...opps i mean the cars legs! lol

I did it myself with my 1st Ed30 last March and the results were excellent - no swirl marks but a clear glossly shine, unlike the dealer job I got on my 2nd Ed30    The Lifeshine pack cost me £15 on ebay and was EXACTLY the same one as used by the dealers.

ok well dealer called me and offered the car to me to have a weekend with it so i can see what i think needs doing, Car has done 1253 miles,a tad more then i was informed but not bothered. She's abit dirty but was great to get behind the wheel again.The car is going back tommorow so i can let them know what i want doing to it b4 signing on the dotted line.


The reg plate is not mine, its not an 05 car b4 anyone says!, Shes 12 months old.Shes been serviced, hubs re-sprayed cus of usual rusting signs.Full valet aswell.Car is fitted with Bridgestone potenza's with nearly 10mm front and back!!

I still like the Steel Grey It goes really well with the MonzaII's

Very nice    - If I hadn't got the Ed30 thats the Spec and colour I would have chosen.
