The xenons and rarity are great but i love the gas strut that holds the bonnet up!

Great stuff so all i should have is a bottle of liquid and a compressor?

Thanks guys, im still a bit of a noob as to what it should have and how to fix things on it lol. I need to sort the rear wiper out it looks gash. I have heard ppl talk about an aero wiper. Anyone have a picture of one?

A jack, if so that is what is missing from my boot

I would also like to know this, im thinking about getting a bluer bulb to match the xenons. What size are the sidelight bulbs as well?

Yeah i may be up for that, how much is it and when is it. Wont be doing much with it, gonna try and keep this car standard. Bonnet Bra maybe! Just standard spec, no AC or anything unfortunately!

I know mate but when you buy second hand cars that are rare as hens teeth the colour doesnt really come into it lol. What does everyone reccommend for polishing the exhaust? Also does anyone know of a VAG specialist in Coventry?

Well i sold my Saxo VTR on Sunday and went to pick this up on Monday afternoon from Manchester. I was a bit sad to see the Sax go even if it was a French tin box, but as soon as i got in the GTI i knew i had made the right decision. The extra 8 Valves and 25BHP that this has over the saxo really sets it apart. I can now put my foot down on the motorway and have some power to overtake. The car is in really great condition. It has loads of receipts and has had the cambelt done, the alternator changed and has FSH from VW and a VW specialist. Other well known faults like the rear brake light have also been sorted. Plans for it are: - Fit a new check strap on the door @ £15 from the stealers. - Fit a new fuel cap as the original's rubber strap has perished (you have to buy the whole lot @£36 ) - Make sure that everything that should be there is, with regards to the puncture repair kit. - Install my Parrot Bluetooth Kit. - Get my Personalised Number Plates on. - Change the Key to a VW Flip Key. And finally -Get a Double DIN Doovde Player. I hope you all like it!

Does anybody have a picture of the contents of their boot?

Ok is there a thread anywhere with the part numbers of the bits i need? I will get a picture tonight of the boot and what i have in it. Im sure something is missing! Thanks mate, i guess it will be a trip to VW to get the part. It feels as though the door has dropped a little!

I picked my Lupo GTI up last night and i have a few queries. -What shoukld the contents of the boot be? I seem to have a plastic container of liquid a grey box (seems to be a pump), a locking wheel nut key, a screwdriver and piece of silver wire bent into a circle. There is a guilty looking silver strap that im pretty sure should hold something but whatever it is it isnt there. -Are the bonnet levers prone to breaking or being lose, mine seems to be a bit wobbly and not tight like the rest of the car. -My drivers door bangs and doesnt open smoothly. Any advice would be great!!

I like the HU can you watch DVD's on it?

Can i have before and after pics? Im not sure what the difference is between the two wipers, all i know is that the back wiper on my new car is pants.

Is there a guide on fitting these aero wipers anywhere?

I have an announcement to make i put a deposit down on my new GTI tonight! I will be picking it up sometime early next week!

Could i have quite simply Ben if its available?

Yeah i will be at ultimate dubs for sure. Any trips to the ring? A few on the Saxo forum always have a trip over every year!

Thanks guys i really cant wait to get my GTI now, and really get to know you guys and the car itself. Have you got any trips etc planned for this year!

Yeah im gonna have to get a mod to change my name!

Yeah i am and i arent, its been a good fun but time too move on! How have you managed to run two cars at once!

Looks bad and whoever told you that you would be dead if it was a Saxo are correct. Main reason i sold mine!

Well the Saxo sold yesterday so i am now officially on the look out for a GTI! Cant wait to get my hands on one! Only mods planned will be an inbuilt sat nav or carputer. Then just gotta fit my bluetooth kit!

One quick question, how do i change my location and personal info etc in my user control panel? Thanks EDIT:Just managed it thanks!

One E out lol, thanks for all the replies people. Everyone is well friendly on here! My saxo is well better than that, but im selling it with standard parts on. This is how it stands right now: Interior Exterior Me at Silverstone I hope the images arent too large. If they are could someone tell me what size they need to be and how to resize them. Thanks guys!

Yeah i fancy them matey lol, need to sell my car first though. Cant wait to get one now, they're just so sophisticated with the exenons etc.........
