Unlikely but would you do a part ex for a mk4 golf 1.6 5 door?

I want a red one haha!

I need to get saving now... plus I need to sell my Golf.

Well, I am no longer getting this as the owner has decided to keep it and sell it instead of swapping like he originally! He waited until two hours before I was supposed to pick it up before he told me... £220 insurance wasted which is going to take a week to get back!

My advice, if you come across ...

Right, not happy at all now.

I have stripped the Golf back to standard, removing all the audio bits and I just got a message from the Polo guy saying he wont do the swap unless I have the V5 logbook for the Golf! Thanks to the crappy garage I bought it from, I am still waiting for it... I reapplied ...

Ahh ok, I will take £150 with me just in case haha! The rest can go on petrol to get me home.

Anyone know how much 6 months tax is on the 1.6 GTI?

I am picking up my GTI tomorrow night and at the moment it has no tax... The guy said he will put 6 months on it for me if I pay him back in cash, bit I have no idea how much 6 months costs.

Does anyone know the standard ride height on the 9n2 1.6 GTI?

Mine was already lowered on coilies when I got it and it's literally 1.5" off the ground... looks awesome but ridiculous to drive around in. I want to lift it up a little but not sure how much to go by.

Is it at all possible to retrofit Climatronic into a 6n2 GTI to replace the manual controls?

I have all the toys including the leather interior but don't have climatronic.

Haha, tempting!

I think I should get it home before I buy anything for it haha! Although I almost bought some wind deflectors for it earlier haha.

Looks quite good actually, is that matt black? I was thinking gloss black.

No one got any ideas on fitting climatronic in place of the manual ones?

Any pictures mate? In need of a little inspiration haha.

Looks the part as well that, cheaper than the CDA as well?

Also, is it possible to fit climatronic to a polo with the normal manual controls? I thought it had it fitted but it didn't, although I am not complaining.

I keep looking at the pictures and am toying with the idea of a black bonnet, black ...

Tasty swap write there lol, red gti's with chrome wheels just works so well so maybe keep your rx2s for winter and invest in some bling summer wheels. Color code the front splitter and it's a Winner mate. Oh it's all about the k&n typhoon induction kit aswell fella lol... No heat sock ftw... Look ...

Undecided yet, I am quite liking the chrome and red theme... But I may paint the wheels black and tint the rear windows about 50%, also going to split the rear VW badge and paint the round bit red and stick it back together.

As soon as I get used to the power I will look into performance a bit ...
