Title: Plugs GTI
Post by: PlugONE on September 25, 2009, 04:24:27 pm: Sold my 16v mk2 and got this as a replacement

One owner from new, immaculate condition and it's only done 19k.

Hopefully a nice drop and some form of 18" wheel's...

Coilovers should be on within 3 week's max i'd say, need to replace the rubber on the 17"s too :(
