Yup, a 58 reg reflex silver GTi Pirelli.
Few extras
- DSG ! - My first time with one, great comments from here, i just had to get one.
- Ipod/MP3
- Floppy paddle thing ( not sure if this is an extra )
A lot of extras are standard on the Pirelli and ED30... gonna save up for a RCD 510 though :)
Pirelli comes with R32 brakes :star:
Really cant wait :smiley: Will post pictures asap as i know :worthless:

Nice one Rich, has it already been modded then as they dont normally come with R32 brakes!
-
nice one rich has the gt gone now then?
-
Well it was the VW Company car for 6 months.... it just looked to have big brakes.. bigger than my GT... and GT has same brakes as GTi...
Trading in GT

Comes with the same brakes as the GTI and ED30 Rich. :happy2:
Sounds like a cracking car, can't wait to see the piccies! :party:
-
Car sounds great, DSG's are awesome, i wish i had one!
I will have a spare RCD 510 as of tomorrow if you are keen? It will be £375, I basically got a bit keen on eBay and ended up winning two, one i have now fitted (see other thread in General section) and this one i will sell on (for less than i got my first one for!)
Let me know if you're keen, happy to help you fit it as it will be easier the second time!

You should put that in the for sale section. At that price on here, that'll sell in minutes.

Thanks Phil, it is the RCD though, Not RNS but i still think its a great price, one i have it in hand tomorrow and can take some good pics i will put it in there,
Cheers,

Because they arent keen on heavily modified cars.. especially as a business car... and the fact nearly the whole body is made from fibreglass its expensive to replace if even a small bump !
its a TSi 170 as well...
-
:confused: :confused:
-
Have you found a buyer for the Tsi Rich?
-
lol - our insurance company is like that...
As a business car... they dont see hows its for business use modifying so much...
Strange i know... but im well chuffed they've insured me on a Pirelli !!! whooo :pomppomp:
-
Phil... trading it in to VW... biting a massive loss :sad1:
-
How much did you get for it? or do you prefer not to publisize?
-
Jesus thats crazy! You'll love it thought, they are a great car! I bet VW bit you in the ass on the P/X. Dealers dont usually like modified cars :surprised:
-
they gave me 11k for it
Bought it for 12k... ermm... whatever i spent on it i've lst... which was *cough* *&!^£9,000*&£$" *xough*
I'm never modifiying cars to this extend again.
This GTi Pirelli has done 12k miles... costs £21,850
-
Wouldnt it have just been less of a hassle to insure it for £4k and build up some no claims? :confused:
-
Maybe... but since they'd let me have a GTi.. nevermind a Pirelli :party: :party: i've just had to get one... and finally be a true GTi owner.. they are the real deal
-
Glad its all worked out well in the end Rich, looking forward to the pics,
You will love DSG as others have mentioned!! :party:
-
Congrats with it dude, But I can't help but notice there are pirelli's going for 18/19K with about 4K miles on. Granted there not DSG but it seems a big premium.
Not knocking, you money and all that.

The Pirelli is a lovely bit of kit. There are only a few hundred in the UK I believe. It is everything you will ever need in a car.

Rich, i brought a 08 dsg pirelli (fully loaded) from a vw stealer back in january for £19000 by financing the whole lot then paying it off a month later, was up for £20000!
-
wow! nice one rich :congrats:
i think the pirellis and ed30's have deffo gone up in value especially the dsg's since january but that looks a good price and it will certainly hold its value well (just dont put a body kit on this one lol!)
let the modding commence... or maybe not actually! :innocent: :signLOL:
-
Nice one m8....good choice
ED30's and GTI Pirelli are definately appreciating especially with good used stock is in limited supply Countrywide.
People are cottoning on especially main dealers the value of these models and their popularity now knowing they have the S3 units in them.
I was lucky with my Ed 30 as unbeknown to me or the dealer at the time I bought number 30 of the Edition 30 which I hope will be of some sort of value in the future. :wink:
-
GOLDMINE :congrats: nice one Msportman
-

Got a photo of number 30?? mayb a plaque pic aswell?
-
Rich ur gonna absolutly loooove the DSG... :driver:
One hand on the steering wheel other hand out the window... lights turn green and floor it and listen to the amazing sound of the engine when the dsg changes up gears so quickly its absolutly amazing.. :happy2: :happy2:
I LOVE MY DSG and i have paddles as well... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Pirellis are certainly going to be the one for the future, there's so few of them about and that engine it shares with its sibling is already achieving legendary status.
Used prices are crazy at the moment, I could most likely sell mine in standard form for what I paid for it 12 months ago. Colours and spec seem to be dictating massive differences.
-
At last, spec finally making a part ex difference :congrats:
I payed 18250 nearly 18 months ago. Not sure what id get but ive added a couple of grands worth of add ons. Maybe get 16-17k.

There's a Yellow pirelli up my way not sure if the owner frequents here but they must be very, very rare.

They must have been imported. it was a bizzare idea not to offer it in the uk. the one i did see recently was on uk plates
-
I'm sure if your pockets were deep enough, VW would have been more than happy to throw a right hooker through the custard room.
Still makes me sad when I look at the MKVI colour options on VW.de, why can't we have them?
-
i saw a yellow one in switzerland when i was last there!! looked stunning!! i love that yellow colour! :drool: :drool:
