Default Another new daily driver for me (VAG content!)

I seem to be getting through them lately.
I was happy with my 306 GTi, but my dad offered me this at a price i just couldn't say no too.

GT TDi PD130 with 80k on the clocks and full history.......

after i'd cleaned it up..........



First job was to remap it (i'd literally owned it less than 2 hours before it was done)

And how it stands now about 2 weeks on ................









Regularly see 60+ mpg and its faster than the gti-6, not quite as much fun to drive though.

I have to disagree. Hate then with the spoiler in. It looks such an after thought on then, my personal opinion.
Thanks or the comment though

I tend to agree that less is more a lot of the time when it comes to body mods, looks really nice that, amazing how much difference a wheel change and lowering makes!

Thank's chaps, outside is staying as it is now. Not bothering putting an exhaust on or anything.
Might Decat it and remove EGR.
Went for a drive yesterday in it, ended up round the evo triangle and other places far........
