well it all starts here, i picked up my GTI today which is a black 3dr. needs a bit of tlc in the form of bodywork and also needs a full leather trim to make me happy!

so yes it will be seeing 20vt power in june so now the work begins I have a set of polished teledials to go on untill i get my chrome centre BBS RS

Cage is on order as I will be running a stripped out rear and also coilovers should be here next week.

in the meantime the polo is going straight to the bodyshop to have all bumpers and doors smoothed! oh its going to be so scene

enjoy....

umm i am not sure, you are best of speaking to sanjay with the black 6n with a gti engine. although mine is practically sold already to my friend!

no the stretch isnt staying like that as they need new tyres...i will probably go with 185's on the teledials

my friend who does all my bodywork is cutting me a deal.....I'm having arches rolled, bonnet sprayed, doors and bumpers smoothed for bout £800-900

my RXII's will be up for sale very soon though.....black centres and 195/45 tyres
