CH!P's GTI

Hi folks,

After deciding it's time i got my own place i had to sell my e46 330Ci Sport and buy something more economical. Didn't have a clue what i wanted! Thought about another mk1 mx5, another Clio 172, mk4 Golf GTI's, e46 320's, mk2 Golfs, mk3 Golf's... Literally looked into just about everything ha. But suddenly the idea of a 6n2 GTI came into my head and i found this one.

It's taking some getting used to after the 330 being so much smaller, not as solid feeling, 4 pot engine etc - and the missus isn't really a fan either (keeps telling me her mk4 Golf is better ha) but tbh i'm sorta getting a little attached to it. For all it's faults (maybe not faults but less luxuries i guess) it's got quite a bit of character!

I'll let the pics do the talking anyway...

Plans are basically perhaps raising it a bit, neaten a few little things, change the number plates (lose the square one) and enjoy it. I'd be lying if i said i'm not tempted to space the wheels or stick some BBS reps on... But that defeats the idea of me buying a cheaper car!
