Hello again! After the diesel GT Sport I had to get the best petrol version.
So I'm the new owner of a Candy White 3 doors Ed. 30 with DSG MY2008. Most likely the only in my country with this colour. It's pretty much in mint condition and has less than 35.000 miles.
I already have a long list of mods to do and some were already ordered.
Here's an old picture. The previous owner made some changes to the centre grill and wheels but I'll return them to OEM look and fit my OZ instead.
My wife will have the diesel most of the times and we'll use it for long distance travels as well.
