New Member from Edinburgh

[Brad Gill]

Hi everyone my name is Brad. Im 22 years old and just in the process of buying a 2005 GTI with 92,000. I will be the 2nd owner from new. The car has full service from VW. Ive purchased the car for £3300. Includes full tank of fuel and 4 brand new tyres. Think this has been a good deal? Just wondering what i need to look out for? I currently own my first car a Fiat punto 1.2 16v 6speed. I am a painter to trade so my new car wont be standard for long lol. Hope I can learn alot from you guys as this is my 2nd car

Here a few pics of my punto. Should have the golf end of this week or next :)

Welcome along from Edinburgh also.  I've not been on here long after buying my gt tdi but there are a few members from Edinburgh or roundabouts this area.

Thats Great! First thing im going to do is check service for timing belt etc. If needs replaced will end up doing that. My plan is to have the golf re-sprayed before Christmas lol

[Brad Gill]

Welcome Brad, good to see yet more fellow Edinburgers on here. Would be good to meet up and see your car, although I only have the GT TDi. I've owned a Golf before and so have been in the modifying game for a while. 

Where about are you from? I think Ant (Ant.W28LKR) and I are hoping to meet up sometime. Would be good to organise a meet some time.

You say you're a painter to trade. I'll send you a message about getting some parts painted.

Perfect.  Like I said got a couple bits I'm needing done.  Looking to get them done ASAP.   I've got a Ed30 lower valance & gti sideskirts to be colour coded.  Brad, You need to make a few more posts so you can access your PMs as I've sent you one the other day. 

We should arrange a meet, when suits yous?

£3300 seems like a pretty good price - well done. Is it in good nic, or did it need paint anyway? Did you get it through the trade?

[Brad Gill]

bought it off a guy who knows my boss. Pixking it up wed so will upload some pictures. Has 18" Monza and the golf is silver. Will be painting it Candy white with black roof. Just trying to source a R32 rear bumper
