Looks tidy mate. [Y]

[Stuart_tate41]

Very nice I like this a lot! But I would with it being a black 5 door with a Votex and all!

[alex-atari]

Looks tidy mate.

Yeah, it's pretty good overall. There's a few little scuffs here and there but I can live with those for now.

haha - First thing I thought of when I saw the advert come up was you ([{]?)

 

[slopez]

Nice! I look forward to seeing this rolling round the streets of preston [Y]

[joshwaudbymk4]

 i can never find a good black 5 door 1.8t atleast 51plate + low miles

[Bert-NW]

Xenons as well?

It was an appropriate edit []

 

Washers are a good start for that though. If the wheels are 16s and you get new ones holler at me first please

[Simon_1.8T]

Looks a great base mate. Plans?

[alex-atari]

Cheers! I'm sure I'll spot you now I know who you are. That or we'll never see each other around ... ever!

Tell me about it!

Apparently I got hold of the guy literally hours after he put it up for sale. It was about time I got some good luck!

Xenons as well?

Will do, Huw!

Not sure what I'll be doing with the Monty 2's at the minute but they're staying on until the BBS have been refurbed. I'll let you know first if I'm after getting rid!

Cheers Simon!

I've got some coilovers waiting to go on, the RSii's will go on after they've been refurbed. Need to clue up on what it takes to get 1.8's lower though as you don't get the same driveshaft/sump issues in a 1.6!

The wooden interior trim will go eventually, although, it's nicer (read more bearable) than I imagined. Also, the rear spoiler may be removed depending on how easy it is. I've never really been a fan of them tbh.

Black moar-doar 1.8T with a Votex! I had one of those! I approve!

[Mcpickering]

nice [] 

very similar spec to my old one. [:(]

Thanks. As long as they are 16s Ill have them. 15s wont clear my brakes now!

Moardaaaaws!!!

[JasonB]

 Looking good.. Get those Coils on ASAP!

[alex-atari]

Just spoke to the guy, I'm going to collect it tonight. Adrian Flux have changed my policy over ready for this evening and oddly, the quote was half the price for modified than it was for standard [:S] so the coils should be going on sooner rather than later.

Excited for the drive home with some booooost [:D] I gave it a quick spin yesterday and was really impressed with the way it drove but I'm looking forward to a longer drive.

[Derpins]

Moardaaaaws!!!
