Good choice , I love Laser Blue , its a really excellent colour that really suits the GTI - I find it very strange that VW got rid of it after so short a time , it means you now have a pretty rare car though!  :happy2: Have fun with it!

Lovely colour that Laser Blue and a bit different, not too common a colour in the GTI. E46's have too many sensor probs anyway.. :grin:

And it felt like an old man's pervy-cruiser, with it's wooden trim.  :grin: Reminded me of being in my old Metro Vanden Plas!

I think getting a better shade of blue was a bigger factor than getting a sun roof   :laugh:

Looks like a good motor, be interesting to see what you do with it   :happy2:

Laser blue is beautiful, but so is Shadow blue, I'd be very happy with either, as long as I can open up the roof and see the sun :grin:

More like clouds and rain currently. Should be called a 'rain roof' in this country :laugh:

But congrats on the purchase, looks brilliant :happy2:

Test drove it tonight, felt very tight and together, very quiet, no creaking noises at all. AND THE JOY OF DRIVING WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Bit slow though compared to my Stage 1, so that'll be getting sorted asap.

Cambelt and water pump being done as there is no invoice backing it up, and VW Aylesbury couldn't confirm it had been done as their computer system has locked out all the details of the services. Better to be safe than sorry said the garage I'm buying it from. Fair play!

Well done Ian  :congrats:

Great colour matey :drool:

Any plans???

Thanks Monte, I'm thrilled with it, can't wait to get modding! I'll start a build thread when I take delivery, but initial plans are:

JKM Revo Stage 1.1 deal with Rev D DV, Milltek cat back exhaust and EVOMS cold air intake
Swap out the 17 Monza'a for some bigger wheels (possibly black split rim BBS)
WALK (got the kit on the old one)
Then eventually go Stage 2.

Roll on Friday!




Don't forget Ian…..with Great Power comes Great Responsibility the need for better brakes  :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:


Ill look after you. :innocent:

I've got to pay for this lot first Carlo! And the car. And my new wheels  :signLOL:

Slippery Slope? It feels like an avalanche at the moment!
