Right I bought this car off a good friend of mine as a run around to get me out of the sh*t whilst i fixed my daily 330d bmw a few months back, but i ended up enjoying the car that much i ended up keeping it for months. Due to being a whorder and owning 5 cars including this one now its time to get realistic and sell off some of the fleet I am no means selling this one because its the worst one i own as its actually been the most reliable, but I'm sure you can understand that i will be keeping my 330d and 20vt Mk2 Golf and selling the rest SPEC Jazz Blue1.4s 16vX red (2000)12 Months MOT97,500 MilesRecent service / Including GearboxElectric WindowsCoiloversSmoothed Front BumperSmoothed Boot LidDe Bump StripedBlack Carbon Wrapped Roof And MirrorsRear Pop Out WindowsLegal Pressed PlatesMk4 Golf Recaro Front SeatsAll Black Interior And PlasticsBlack Golf GTi Steels With Good TreadBad Bits Usual Stone chipsFront bumper has a crack in it but it has been like it since my friend bought the car years ago so its not going to get any worsePassenger side electric window is temperamental from the drivers side switch. works fine from the passenger switch thoughThe Carbon wrap is not the best JobSince Ive Owned It I bought the car with only 1 Months MOT left on it and a few small problems which my friend just couldn't find the time to sort due to his new job working away.
