    Cheers :) The wheels are probably going to have to go soon as they won't fit over the brakes I plan on getting :(

    Thank-you very much! It took me a very long time to find this car in this spec and condition, but it was well worth the wait. Metallic black ( LC9Z? ) Is also a very nice colour, and the colour I would choose after Tornado red :)

    Thank-you :) Yeah I didn't buy an Anniversary because I want to have all sorts of different bits on mine, which will continuously change as the years go by and I couldn't do that to an Anniversary. Yes, I will have a few Anniversary parts on there don't get me wrong but this is going to be temporary and only a few select parts I will keep on there as things will change and I don't want to make it an Anniversary rep even though I could quite easily do that as I already have the correct paint code, engine, gearbox etc. I would rather buy an Anniversary separately and keep it all original :)

    Really like that mate, and I do have a soft spot for Mk4's ;)

    I miss my old one :(

    Would be nice to see this at the London meet this Sunday.

    Thank-you very much dude, really appreciate it!

    Were you/Are you a member on Uk-Mkivs.net? I'm sure I have seen your MK2 GTI and MK7 GTI PP on there?

    I would absolutely love to be going to the meet on Sunday in this, but unfortunately this is back up at home in the North West :'( Realistically, I can't afford to run it here at the moment, the insurance is much higher, the fuel economy isn't great and I wouldn't be prepared to leave it in the University car park, if I could find someone willing to let me keep the car at their house in a garage or on a drive then it may be another story. If I can get myself a part time job and find somewhere to keep the car then I would definitely bring it down.

    Although my car isn't here I will still be attending the meet, as it will be a good opportunity to meet local members, have a nice day out and possibly find someone who can help me out with my car situation.
