Screw the Polo, is that a flamboyantly coloured Sirocco I see!?

I will do slo - po!

Indeed it is that would be my mums scirocco!

nice looking car mate how mutch you pay for it ?

Thanks buddy! I'd rather not say sorry :-) it was a good deal though!

Someone my age, with a white G40, on traders insurance..... Literal hatred going on right here

Looks mint dude and I am seriously jealous!

Your just missing one thing.... I licence :biggrin:

Many of my friends have said the same thing! Had car jack threats from my cousin already!

Thanks though dude :)!

I've driven it about 200 miles already, with my dad in the passenger seat of course, its given me an incentive to pass as soon as possible :p but yes its a pretty big thing thats missing

That looks lush, I started in style with a 1.05 mk2 :), gone up in the world to a 1.1 I can aspire to a G40 oneday... But yer look after it

Thanks dude! Sweet! I love mk2's, there's a Coupe S near to me that looks just amazing. It will be looked after very well!

Oi theres nothing wrong with beaten up 1.3 6ns! I had one and I loved it - never missed a beat!

Don't worry, i wasn't being mean to my 6n. I love it! Just wish that i had a g40 like this...

Small update,

Got a centre console for the G on ebay for £12 and it arrived today, it came while i was in work so sorry for the dark pictures!

Will be fitting it tomorrow after work, oh, and i ordered my coilovers yesterday from Phill J, the front right suspension finally collapsed after sinking a little every day over the past few days ! i cant wait to fit them, also ordering some black diamond discs and some green stuff pads next week, can anyone recommend anything better for around the same money? Just in case I'm missing a trick!

Cheers guys! next update will be the coilover update!

Lovely car shame that you will have to pay the cost of the car each year for insurance plus a bit extra.

you not read the thread at all?

All taken care of dude!

Very nice car for a first car. Bet you can't wait to get that license and drive it on your own for the first time. :-D

Thanks alot dude :) yep it will be a good day! i cant wait any longer!

looking good :) not sure i would have trusted myself with one of these as a first car, but would have been epic to have one at 17

Thats a smart G40 you got there dude, I like the door mirrors!

Alexm866 - Cheers dude! yeah trusting myself to not be idiot is a large factor, ill just have to keep it on the track when i eventually book a track day.

customautoworks- Thanks mate! I prefer them to the ones that came on the car, they'd had it anyway, i think they look a bit cleaner :)

And a small update - I'm still waiting for the coilovers from Phill J as he's having a problem with his supplier, which is no big deal as i cant drive it yet anyway! And i bought some Allycat Rallye specials that i collected yesterday, ill post some pics when I've given them a refurb and also yesterday i passed my theory so i can now move on to practice for the practical exam!

Here Here!

Hi Guys!

Pretty big one, So I got the coilovers today! they look the business! They will be fitted wednesday, also i have pictures of the alleycats which will be refurbed in no time, they fit PERFECTLY, was expecting them to poke silly amounts but they sit completely in line with the arches! Anyway the pictures! Only have a pic of the rear wheel, i was so excited i forgot to get one of the front

Oh and i finally fixed the drivers seat so it has a working height adjuster!

All the way up

and all the way down

Cheers Folks!

Nice wheels dude, I take it you've got a staggered set?

Cheers :) yeah 7's for the front and 8's for the rear! I waited for the Rallye specials cause i knew i wouldnt have to make irreversible changes to the bodywork to make silly mini offset wheels fit! Plus they are 4x100!

Just get plain brembo discs from GSF, black diamond stuff will be a waste of money.

I can highly recommend standard brembo discs and either their pads or some ferrodo DS pads, braided hoses and replace all the fluid with some dot 5.1. Might as well service the rear brakes too. Should be enough to stop you quickly then....

I have only heard bad things about green stuff pads

Car is coming along nicely, will be good to see the wheels and coilovers fitted. Mirror look good, nice to see something a little different and work well :-)
