I bought my Gti 2 weeks ago after doing 500 miles with a mate trying to find a good one.
Its a red 3 door in great condition, 71k Miles, Full service history, long MOT and tax. Ideal!
It already had a Milltek cat back resonated exhaust, Neuspeed intake and Forge diverter valve. It had a APR stage 1 map but VW done a recall on software and wiped it back to standard!
Here it is on my recovery when bought!
Horrible un-coded rear bumper.
First thing i done was get rear bumper colour coded and awaited new wheels and Eibach springs
Wheels and springs fitted, and an all important timing belt kit.
Changed Milltek resonated to non resonated and fitted a 3" decat downpipe so it had all hardware for stage 2 mapping
Then took it to Autohaus Edinburgh to get it mapped to stage 2, which was free as it had already had an APR map in the past- they do free upgrades! Should be 270-280bhp but will get it on a rolling road sometime soon.
Decided i didnt like black side skirts and lower front valance, so removed them and got them painted. I also fitted a later rear badge as mine was goosed.

Gave it a polish which really isnt like me!
