True - but to be honest I would have paid £75 just for the grill so I considered the other bits to be an added bonus
Today the car was treated to a wash and polish with an interior valet and leather clean - came up like new!

Hi Stu,
Enjoyed reading your thread. I am a UK citizen living in Canada and looking at a GTI it has done the same amount of miles as yours with excellent history up to 20000/1 year ago. Any tips on what to look at?
Thanks

Steve,
Best advice really is the overall condition of the vehicle. Check for service history and evidence it has been cherished by the previous owner - receipts for all the work and so on. Little things like the quality of the tyres reflect on the owner in my opinion - I was very fortunate with my car and its condition despite the huge mileage. I have since had it independently inspected for piece of mind and everything came back in the green. Maybe you could arrange to have one of these done to the vehicle you are looking at. Finally see if you can take a code reader to the viewing and check the ECU for any issues?
Good luck :happy2:

Simple little change today in-between rain showers and blazing sunshine!
New footrest from eBay arrived so I thought it would be cheeky not to get it installed
Bits removed from the motor
Drilled a couple of holes through the plastic to attach the new bling
And back in the motor
Got it from this seller

Its the small things that make me happy! :happy2:
