Hi all.. thought I would get a thread of my car on here! Brought this a few months ago for a decent price! It's done 140K..

It's a good standard example, gearbox seems ok so far fingers crossed but the clutch is going so that will be changed soon!

This is how I brought it

First thing was to change the headlights back to OEM! Found a burnt out plug so used this as my excuse to buy some headlights:)

That was it for a while apart from keeping it clean and MOT.. I then wanted to sort the wheels and get it looking better. So a trip to the powder coaters was done!

Also brought a set of Toyo proxies and some coilovers.

So got the wheels fitted and gave it a good clean and this is how it looks now..

I've ordered a few little touches for it and will be fitting them soon. I'm really torn on plans for the car, I'd really like to keep it OEM+ looking but I'm unsure on whether to push what power I can from the original engine or save for a 1.8T
Conversion.. I just want more power and then going to get it handling and stopping well!

I then had a ballast go on one of my headlights so used this as an excuse to get rid of the black for OEM ones again!

Next step was to sort the wheels and suspension..

what did you pay for it? quite a few coming up for sale and i'm wondering what the current prices are?

Posted: **Mon Mar 14, 2016 11:25 am**

I paid £700 for it about 4/6 months ago.. there are some real bargains out there at the moment for the 6n2 GTI'S. I'm probably going to keep this for years now and just garage it when I get a new car, just got a feeling they will start going up in value soon!

i looked at one - £600, wasn't in the best nick but passable. I would have been tempted if it was in the same condition as yours.

Mine isn't completely mint.. got a little scuff on the back bumper and the front bumper needs a respray. Going to try and get them both done once the weathers better
