how much was it new? with that sort of mileage and only being a year old dealers would just whack 2-3 grand of the price new, private sellers the same maybe abit more. probably best taking the bits of and returning to standard to help it sell. youd get more for the bits seperate on here, porka or the big bay. have a look on trader to see what others like yours are going for.

paid Â£12000 brand new, kinda hard to get it back to standard as i sold the origianal alloys, had the windows tinited, body work done. how can i reach the modders market?

Problem with modders is that they want to mod.. they don't much want to run someone else's modded car, that's not really the experience

How heavy is the bodywork? Could it pass off as standard, or as smart looking but not modded up? You really would do better to lay your hands on a cheap set of alloys, even steels with some decent trims, and sell off the expensive kit for other people to do what they like with.

put it in the ads at the back of performance vw or one of the other vw magazines, or try putting it in the other modded car mags like revs, max power etc. also join all modded car forums and chuck it in their classified sections, sounds like alot of effort but would be worth it for a quick sale. most sites would have a system like this forum has got where any replies to your threads would be emailed to you, to save you the effort of checking all the forums for replies

could just chuck it in the trader as it is and hope for the best. its odd cos i see a fair amount of old folk driving modded cars. surely these people dont mod them? they must buy cars pre-modded thinking there standard

it sounds like a nice car i dont think you'll have much problem selling it
