HI

[bhp addict]

Thanks guys,

Ye SEAT to VW - I was looking to stick with SEAT and go for ibiza cupra MK3 but a lil over my price range for a decent 1 at the moment.

First House purchase lol

oh other things, the polo has a pedal box recall, but that can be done under warranty at any point. If you are currently trying to buy one look out for extras such as:

-heated leather (very sought after)
-Sunroof
-Winterpack

also the BBSRXII wheels are worth a bit but they suffer from corrosion which is expected!.

Thanks mate

Whats a winter pack?

Not too fussed on sunroof TBH as think my Dad is going to spray car for me poss half and half silver/anthercite grey(sp) not too sure yet.

Would love leathers but very rare as I have found lol

[shantybeater]

I'm not entirely sure what the winter pack includes, something along the lines of automatic wipers & lights when it gets dark..nothing too important haha

[bhp addict]

Naa, I think I should know by now when to turn wipers and lights on lol

Is the red lining on your grill standard? Looks very impressive!!
Are xenon's standard on all GTi's also?
Any other 'optional extras' or 'facelift' add ons I should look out for?

[shantybeater]

xenons are standard, along with air con....also look out for climate control as an extra, the lining on my grill is just red tape bent round using a hair dryer, worked better than I expected, wasnt too keen on people picking at it at the last show though, might need replacing now nosey bastards

[bhp addict]

Those are the best mods --- the FREE ones lol

You needs a big sign DO NOT TOUCH!!!!! lol

May need to kinda pinch that idea mate lol

[shantybeater]

haha i wasnt the first, some people paint it but the tape gives a nice gloss effect & you can always take it off!

sorry..the GTi

o and BTW Dee Vub your car (if its the one in sig) looks absolutly mint mate

Beautiful job

Cheers mate, yeh thats my car....it has changed a fair bit from that though.....really should update my sig pic!

The guys on here are pretty good for info.....so they've told you most of the ins and outs.

The gearbox is the main prob, its a bit chocalatey....usually bearings. But my diff ended up blowing a hole through my casing last year There is sometimes electric windows pack up a bit......they sometimes slip off the runners, which is an easy fix or the motor sometimes packs in which isn't too cheap if you need a brand new one.

The pedal box was explained, if its not already been changed it will be free when it needs it.

Keep an eye out for leather! Will bump the price of the car up, but soooooo worth it!
