I'm in The Mounts, a few streets away from the murder
Mine's standard at the minute so no worthwhile pics, I lost my job for a few months last year and all my money went on important things instead :( I'm lucky to still have the car to be honest!
Hopefully in a month or two I'll have a modded car! I've got all the bits, I just need some money for the bodyshop, workshop and remapper
I was really picky with spec too, but I had to let go because I never would've got a car. After 5 months of searching I gave up and bought one with just xenons. Some say the folding mirrors don't actually fold in enough so I wouldn't bother, and highline seems to be reasonably rare as dealers never understood what it was. It might be worth buying a lowline one and finding a highline cluster on eBay over time.
So what are your plans for the GTI when you get it?
The Mounts! i'm suprised your GTI has survived, that area is abit rough.
I definately want one with xenons and i've seen a few on pistonheads with highline and in manual so i might just have to do what you did and give up on the folding mirrors, my cousin has them on his R32 and they only fold in a very tiny bit so come to think of it i wouldnt bother with them now.....i had a lowline or midline whichever it's called in my R32 and was looking to have the highline fitted but apparently it cant be done, it needs programming etc, so in the end i had to get my car hooked up to VAG-COM so i could adjust the coming home light timers and auto door locks at 10mph.
i have a couple parts already for the GTI, one is the Recaro heated bucket seats same as i had in the R32 and i've got R32 rear lights and 19" Audi A8 split rims
I'm on the look out for ED30 front splitter, Coilovers, RNS510, ED30 steering wheel (if i get a red GTI) and maybe a badge-less front grille or US spec smooth GTI grille
bodywork wise colour code side skirts, colour code rear bumper
Performance wise it will just be a carbonio induction, milltek exhaust and remap
