hi mate welcome....at least your moving in the right direction away from the frenchies!!

you sure you dont want a silver gti? mine is very special and for sale now

[dave-g]

hi mate, thats exactly what every one else has told me! vw have a bit of class to them ive just been looking through pistonheads and the classifieds on here, gotta admit silver is tempting!!yours looks mint!

Welcome to the forum. I think it is hard to find the perfect GTI and you can't be majorly fussy. My car was bought with full leather, 29k miles, good price and only 95 miles away - trouble was it was silver and it was my least favourite colour, but that doesn't matter when your driving it

[tomo87]

this scotsman speaks sense!

i was originally after a black gti but im so glad i got the silver in the end!

[womble68]

Similar thinking happened with me, I'd liked the look of black, but ended up with a Red one. I did also consider Silver cars, although the condition of the car was more important to me, and my little Red'un just happens to look class as well Whatever you get I'm sure you'll be more than happy.

Muuuuuch easier to keep clean than black too ^^

Ach you can get a cheap flight The engine etc etc is all under 50k, the actual car is about 65k. It would be up to you mate, its still registered as a 1.4 8v but can be re-registered as a GTI if you liked. Mot test centers etc dont care about it.....but i wouldnt think insurance would find out if you had a smash, cant see why they would. But it would be up to you if you wished to re-register it.

The car i actually away into the bodyshop at the moment to get all the bodywork touched up, which will cost me a fortune again lol....and i will be replacing the windscreen if i can find one.....and there is a couple of other little touch ups i will get sorted for the buyer, trust me it'll be a show car mate

[vdubit]

Be different, buy a white one, its the only one in the world...

[dave-g]

how much are you after for the white one? mileage, codition etc etc

[Mouse_GTI]

Trouble with silver is it's easier to cleaner but harder to make look mega clean
