My mates got a nicely tuned Rallye, RAPID cars, has dyno'd 212hp and is a match for DC5's etc no problem . If they weren't such a killer on insurance I'd 100% have a 6 for my daily....

Will dig out some pics of his, sure he's on the gti6 forum too.

Love yours dude, best colour & wheels IMO

Yeah this one is mine, i got her about a month ago i think, it only seems like a few weeks though

Its called Astor Grey and i would obviously say its the best colour

You should see it shine in the sun, the paint is amazing!

They are 167bhp out of the factory, Mines been on the rollers and made 169.8bhp not bad at all i dont think!

Mine isnt that bad on insurance, i paid a fair bit to get it swapped over from my last car but thats mainly charges, my insurance is up for renawal this month anyway so im sure i can sort something out

Think they're group 17/18? insurance, was getting shite quotes, fair chunk more than I was paying on my old ST170...

Spoke to my mate he has:

Kent PT81 cams, ported inlet w/ thermal gasket (?), Blueflame exhaust w/ Magnex decat, solid rear mounts, KW V2 coilovers, Jamsport (Wayne Schofield) remap... 214hp 179ft/lb

It's a weapon

In fairness i was after a mint Diablo red one, but this came up over xmas so i did a deal with the guy. At the time i wasnt aware of how rare (some folks say) the Astor Grey colour is.

Now mines been detailed / machine polished / glazed,sealed & waxed it looks loads better.

Shows all the volcanic dust up like a bastard though!

Im keeping mine standard for the moment, get it looking lovely and just enjoy it.

Yeah, I gave mine some TCL, spent the best part of the day cleaning it, havent got a machine polished so i have to use man power! I clayed it (dont think it had ever been done before, so that was fun) polished it, Glazed it and then gave it a few coats of wax, the result is the pictures above

They say they are a rare colour, i have seen one round my way, claiming to be 200bhp that is for sale, i never seen another one on the road untill i got my one

I had this before i got the Gti



So i know what its like to keep clean

I was tempted to go back to cyclones on the gti, but i decided i like the white wheels to much, the way it sits on the 17's is just perfect imo!

Not bad, I've got a few premium rapers recently... sp70, crashed into in the snow .... can't insure much right now

They're not cheap to mod to be fair but seriously worth it, doesn't make fast car numbers but deals with a lot of them...

He put up a G.I (gauging interest) thread on the GTi6 forum, I think he's only testing the water personally, so said he'd never sell. HTH
