Someone on SCN bought it off eBay about 6 months ago needing some tlc. Had green wheels iirc.

I've got a steel grey 07 plate coming in p/x at work. It's a standard one but has low miles and will be cheap.

How's your clutch doing with the stage 1 map? Any in car videos? Curious to see what they go like.

I sold my stage 2 ko3s Ibiza bought a few diesels and currently own a ep3 type r which is for sale!

i havent got any video`s unfortunately, map is defo worth doing tho, makes a big difference! had the map on for about 3.5k miles and the clutch is fine, hasnt slipped in the slightest, going for a stage 2 soon so will see how it lasts then :s

i would advise getting a map pretty soon after buying it as i was a lil dissapointed with the standard performance

quick update. please excuse the rubbish iphone pics!

before players i had a quick rush to get the car ready. it went into the bodyshop to have the front and rear bumpers re smoothed, front grills painted black and the arches rolled and pulled out :)

then Sat night the car got a full detail by a mate.

Did they plastic weld your rear bumper mate do you know? and what bumper was it too start with? front end looks mint smoothed too!

Personally I think the porsche wheels ruin it (for me anyway) each to their own and all that jazz tho :)

yeah i was never 100% on them either, just bought them as they were going silly cheap and i hated the standard 17in monza`s that were all curbed!

i think the bbs ch wheels look so much better!

it is standard gti bumpers front n rear that have been plastic welded and filled over. was quite impressed they managed to get rid of the step on the rear
