trudubrstu Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 yup, still for sale - personally i always wanted to spray her white with a carbon wrap roof and mirrors..but the paint is bright and bar the stonechipping to the front, its damn good for 9yr old car - espec as the common roof gutter rust has been sorted just a few months ago by v.a.g themselves ...come and have a view guys and girls, you won't be disapointed p.s had new rear pads after i bought her last yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
