Pics to follow later.
I picked up our GTI yesterday after finally getting around to selling the S3. I have done this to free up some funds to expand the business but to be honest the GTI feels every inch as good a car as the S3 at the moment for half the money. I paid £7k for it, full ED30 front and side skirts and R32 rear with side exit. The car is black and really looks great, very pleased with it. There are 1 or 2 cosmetic issues I want to sort out on it and any help/advice on these would be great.
The panels on the door cards are a bit knackered, the bit where the window switches are, I assume these can be bought and replaced easily enough, the buttons for the windows on the drivers side are knackered as well. The only other blemish on the interior are the panels on the steering wheel where you would normally find the multifuction buttons. Hopefully I can get some new ones of these, if not I will remove them and poss wrap them to make them look tidier.
On the outside, a couple of the 18" Monzas have a few little kerbing marks but nothing major. The passenger side wing mirror could do with replacing as the glass looks to have been glued back in at some point but it is hardly noticeable. Then finally the headlights could do with a good flat & polish as they have gone a bit hazy. For a 7 year old car though it is in great condition, just a few wear and tear items really that I'd like to fix/replace as the car will represent us at shows and meets
Plans are to sort the above and then get coilovers, probably KW's, BBS VZ 18's, spacers if needed, Shark stage 1, ITG Maxogen, TTS engine cover & centre exit Milltek with R32 valance. I don't want to mad on power on this car as I don't really want to chuck £4k+ at a £7k car and I think stage 1 is a great compromise.
