Looks great mate, running 10mm spacers all round or just at the back?

Cheers Si

Just 10mm H&R's at the back in all the photos. Did have them on the front as well - but had to lend the longer bolts to my brother for his show car!

I have to admit I do love I well looked after tornado red :happy2:

Thanks! I have to admit I love it as a daily car colour, easy kept, easy to clean and looks fantastic on a GTI!
My next one will probably be tornado red as well :grin:

Have to say I seen this the other day, even from a distance it looked in great condition lovely and red, when I caught up with it, it really did stand out.

 :happy2:

 
If it's not broke, Mod it.....



Silver is the way !

Cheers Scopes! Didn't take you long to catch up!  :grin:

My car never looks the same in photos as it does in the flesh, my photography really needs to improve!

My next car will definitely be a tornado red 3dr something!

Well after having this car for over 3 years and over 55,000 miles, sadly I'm going to have to finally make the move to diesel very shortly :scared:

The car now has 91,000 miles and is running and pulling as well as it ever did! :grin:

A few last shots of her:
















The car now boasts all the following mods:

• Discrete Rear Parking Sensors
• Eibach Sportline lowering springs
• Whiteline Anti-lift Kit
• Super Pro front lower arm bushes
• Revo Stage 1 Remap
• White LED interior and exterior lighting upgrades
• RNS510 with MDI ipod connection & Blaupunkt Amp
• Chrome tipped Mk6 Golf interior switches (inc. petrol filler cap release)
• R32 Rear Tail Lights
• Open Vented Front Fog Grills
• Parrot Bluetooth Phone Kit

If you are interested, let me know via PM - for sale ad to follow very shortly

I'd appreciate peoples thoughts on value, and whether to sell with or without the mods ?
