Well what can I say ..., had my last 6n valver which some of you may know and have seen the little build thread I had on here or may of bought parts from me when i was breaking her .

I had the valver for almost 4years this year, until few weeks back some dick decided to pull out of a junction on a main road and went straight into me . The car was a write off ! .

Been looking around for another VW since the accident and couldn't resit but to buy another polo , but this time i decided to go for a little uprgade and go for the 6n2 gti .

I wanted a good spec gti polo , Preferably one with heated leather seats and climate control . After taking great advice from gti owners on here they gave me really good information on what i need to look out for on the gtis and ones that i should avoid.

Found this little beauty , full vw service history with lots of extra history and receipts , 62k , heated leather seats with climate control , last owner was a lady , and I'm the 3rd owner and very proud ! body work is in excellent condition for an 11year car and no visible dents or the usual rust pataches that the 6n2 polos suffer from .

I Paid £2750 for her , the lady wanted £2950 but offered £2750, I think i got myself a very good deal

Has minor things that need changing and a little attention like it needs the gti splitter and new drivers side abs sensor. Rear bumper has a little mark on it and has been touched with the good old halfords touch up paint (Not good job ). wheels are not in great condition but tbh i dont mind as i will be using these wheels as winters .. but thats all really ...

Will have new abs sensor by the end of this week and new gti splitter next week . :-D

Picture from the day I bought her and parked up in my drive ( Needs a really good detail + wash )

Comments welcome guys :-)

Cheers

Love how silver 6n2 GTi's look, gotta' get myself one at some point.

Reflex silver i think is the best colour to get them in dude , looks really nice in the sunshine too , dev get a silver gti if you get the chance , you wont disappointed.

Although I heard that the gearboxes are "made of chocolate". (Someone posted that here recently, can't remember who though.)

haha , thats what i heard too , but depends how its driven I suppose , this one has been checked over along with the pedal box as they are known to be not very good , but gearbox wise this one goes into every gear nicely with no problems , I made sure that this polos gearbox was in good nick before i bought it :)

looks really nice mate. No GTi splitter though?

Gearbox's are fine if you look after them :)

thanks dude :) , i was a bit confused why it didnt have a gti spliiter too I'm sure somewhere in its life the splitter had to be changed i suppose , will be getting a gti splitter next week, i want to get some coilovers for her asap as i dont like the 4x4 look

Looking to get pressed plates guys , what you think ?

Nice gti mate, looks in good nick.

Ye am after some pressed plates myself, think there a nice touch

dubmeister ones?

you found any coilys yet ?

you have £400 to play with

Nice example mate. And a 51 plate as well!!! Real jealous!

cheers man ! and my friend chirs-have ordered a set of coilovers yday , they should arrive sometime today , will hopefully get them fitted asap , should look a lot better when lowered

UPDATE 21.6.11-

Have ordered a few goodies over the past few days as I sold my beloved Recaro seats to chris on here , had few quid to spend so i HAD to by myself a set of coilovers ! so decided to buy a set of FK AK Street Coilovers from FK , hopefully will be going on polo asap , oh god How I've missed the low life :p . No more 4x4 look!!! Pics to followww....

I Also ordered myself a set of German style number plate surrounds , will be getting some pressed plates from GTI International this weekend , Number plate surrounds will be going on once I got my pressed plates .. Picsss to followww......

GOOD MAN! get it slammed and it will look sweet!

I have a set of RH Cups that I bought few months back , STILL haven't had the time put them on my old 6n valver that I had, so going to put them on the gti once the coilovers are on , They are 9J rear and 8j fronts , running on 195/45/14 falken Streched tyres

Pic of what they looked like before refurbishment-

Pic of them at the end of my bed -

What they look like once i got them back from rainbow polishing , did an ace job ! Would recommended them to anyone on here who wants there wheels mirrored polished !

Will be getting the tyres put back on 2mro and get them all balanced up :) ,

All i can say is WHOOA! haha I never really liked these wheels but now i do! Will look sweet with them on!

I wasnt too keen on the wheels at first but they do look nice when you run the right tryes on them , i think you can get rh cups in 7j all round ? .. they look way better having the 9j on the rears and the 8j at the fronts i think .. give it that extra "hench" look i suppose lol

yeah deffo man! get some poke, looks soo sweet when the wheels are sticking out, looks so mean! Get pics up when its done man!

Finally had the tyres re fitted onto the cups today and balanced , heres how the cups look like now

This one will look great with the wheels and suspension on

Lovely car dude, leather looks in great nick too! Silver GTi's FTW

from when i came to get the seats to now you have done loads :) its only been a few weeks and you got the wheels polished and coilys bought. you ordered the plates yet ? i just bought a new set

nice work :)

Thanks for the comment chris , i had the wheels sat around in my room for about 6months now , was planning to but them on the 6n but was too busy with work and then had the accident =(

Had them polished up 2months ago down at rainbow polishing in Birmingham, did an ace job!.. i went to gti International show hoping to leave with some pressed plates and other goodies, but the cash machines there wernt working when i came so couldnt withdraw cash =( , was annoyed , so next show il go too il get some plates

Update- 14.7.2011

I have the car now lowered woop woop ! Looks 10x better now then it didnt when i was like a 4x4 !! Have set the coilovers so it isnt too low ( For the min ) as i want to see what the ride was like , but will be going slightly lower once i get the cups on, which should be in two weeks :)

Let me know what you think so far guys , comments welcome

Larvvleyy! Will look even better with the cups on :)

:) looks ace now cant wait till you put the wheels on :)

After a view trial and errors with spacers to fit the rears and the fronts I finally bought 20mm Hubcentric spacers for the rears (With Longer Bolts) I also bought 15mm HC Spacers for the fronts (With Longer Bolts) and THEY FINALLY FIT ! After about 7/8 months of having the wheels laying around in my room I have them fitted to the gti at last , Wish i could see what they would of looked like on my old 6n valver as i orginal bought them for that car :( . R.I.P 6n!!

Anyway ,I'm loving the new look of the car at the moment , has changed it a lot i thinks . not too much poke with the wheels and the spacers on there due to the et being quite high 35. Very happy with end result .

Maybe few tweeking here and there with the coilovers so they sit nicely , Something for me to do at the weekend i guess .... all i need to do now is find some orginal oem RH Center caps as when i bought them it didnt have any , so bought Temp center caps with the Porsche logo on .
