dazraz_uk Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 QUOTE(bossjohnc)You will not be dissapointed.How many gears?its a six speed, does that actually make much difference apart from economy wise obviously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazraz_uk Posted June 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 well the leather isnt in place yet, its being sent of to the garage VW in Altrincham use (some Ferrari garage in Macclesfield apparantly) and i will be getting the little loop a week on friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Congrats on the purchase, you'll love it.Would like to see pics of the job they do on the re trim, I wanted leather but couldn't justify the cost, so a re trim might be a nice idea if I could find a company that will do a smart job. Of course you don't get the bum toasters, but I've never missed not having them on a car as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty b-road Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 "Bum toasters" are brillWouldn't buy a car without em now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 QUOTE(dazraz_uk)its a six speed, does that actually make much difference apart from economy wise obviously?Makes no difference economy wise - but I've heard it's much more fun and involving - wouldn't know 'cos I've never tried a 5.You can get bum toasters on cloth for a few hundred quid as an option on a new GTi - dunno if you can retro fit yourself - anyone ever asked??

DubDub Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 How much is the `re-trim` costing U if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazraz_uk Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 i asked to have the heaters retro fitted but they cant do it apparantly but i dont particularly mind not having them as ive never had them in the past!My retrim is costing me £1300 but i managed to get that value for my old car in part ex as at first they only wanted to give me £700 for it!
