Title: Finally got myself a GTI!! (pics)
Post by: dasheee on June 14, 2012, 03:03:54 pm
So I've finally fulfilled my childhood dream of owning a Golf GTI. I Picked her up yesterday and could not be happier with it.
I upgraded from a 6n2 Polo GTI which this blows out of the water in every department. I've uploaded some of the dealer pics which don't really do it justice so will hopefully upload more soon!
Hopefully see some of you guys around the Manchester/Oldham area....

Cheers for the comments guys. Made up with the seats although I'm almost jumping in them to preserve the bolsters. Worth it though, feels special.

I paid just short of 10 for it. I'm happy with that price as it had VW FSH and they had the alloys refurbished, MOT'd it and gave me a lifetime warranty providing I keep it serviced which I will be doing.

Nice one! And when I scrolled down and saw the seats I went "Wow!" and for a moment forgot I have the same! You won't be able to stop your righthand seat bolster collapsing to some extent but the metal frame inside still supports you when driving.

The rear shoulder areas have a tendency to pull out a fraction too but can easily be pushed back in with your fingers. Enjoy!  :happy2: And a Warm Welcome to the forum!

Love those seats, had the same in my Clio 197, the most comfortable seats I've ever had the pleasure of parking myself in

Bazgti - Chadderton mate. What colours yours? I'll look out for you!

Redrobin - Yeh i've noticed that my bolster has collapsed slightly but it doesn't look a mess so I'll just be careful with them

Still loving it!!
