It has a few minor issues, oil leak somewhere lol, windows are a bit jumpy when going up. likes to tap fairly loud a few more nigly bits .....but other than that its done me well! hoping to clean it up and drive to le mans next year. thinking maybe track it a few times too. Anyway heres a few pics! (some messed about with on instagram) Thanks for looking and comments welcomed!!

Had standard headlights in...then bought some morettes. they had the inners already out. and have been converted to h4 bulbs. Thinking about spraying them gloss black or maybe colour code them. i kinda like it black on blue. not to your taste pal?!

....which is really not a good sign on these cars as that could indicate a previous snapped cambelt and it's not been repaired correctly. It might be perfectly fine but get it checked out for peace of mind Thumbs up

as above. Dont spend a penny on it Until you've had that sewing machine tap looked at by someone who knows about these cars. My 1st gti6 did that for a year then it died. Cheaper to fix now than it is at a later date mate even if it means swapping the engine for a few hundred
