Hello all,
Recently purchased a 2006 GTI in black, my wife previously had a graphite blue GTI in DSG that we loved so when it came to getting a car for work i decided on one again.
2006 06
Black
109k Full VW SH
Auto lights and wipers
Highline clocks
Cloth seats
All in all it was in good clean condition with a comprehensive service history all for under £4k.
I already have a VW money pit (below) so was planning on keeping it standard but done a few bits already.
As with all new purchases a good clean and polish was in order first. I swear by Autofinesse stuff so it was cleaned and topped with their ultra glaze and illusion wax.
next thing was to replace the bulbs all round, 6000k xenon upfront with matching sidelights, LEDs to the inside and rear number plate.
Also replaced the tatty roof aerial and the shredded rear wiper.
This is the only part of the car that indicates its mileage, and i know its a weak spot as it was the same on our last GTI. At the moment im getting quotes for a proper repair but in the meantime ive patched back together as best as my sowing skills would allow.
I then had a decent delivery....
this was the car before fitting
and this was after
made a huge difference to the look and the overall drive, seems to be smoother if anything than the standard springs.
I also decided to change the rear discs and pads at the same time as fitting the springs. total nightmare as one of the calipers wouldnt wind back, had to soak it overnight with freeway before it would turn.
that near enough brings me up to date other than I have purchased these genuine BBS CH for a bargain price....
My only concern is they are 17's, so may have to sell them on and use the profit to fund 18's.
Thanks for looking.
