CJ N Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just wondering what kind of money i would get if i broke my gti. Mechanically its sweet, always been serviced and used quality parts. Body wise the front and back wing are the only issues. I bought a replacement wing for it but haven't got round to sorting it out.

scotty_82 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Without pics no one can say, tbh I'd always say fix it and sell on as a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIChris Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Surely if the only issues are bodywork and you're a bodywork repairer then it would be easier to sort it or has it been smashed ?The time taken to break it,advertise all the parts either on here or flea bay,package them all up and send them would far outweigh the time to fix it.Spose it depends on if you really want to keep it at the end of the day.

CJ N Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Im in two minds. I can get the work done on the panels n stuff easy. It comes down to matching up the paint. I havnt a clue what colour it is. Blending in is gonna be a nightmare if i get that side sprayed. Also alot of the paint has faded really bad on the roof and bonnet, its like someone has took a brillo pad on it. And lacquer has started to peal in places. So realisticlly im looking at painting the whole car again. The money im gonna spend on paint i could put tht towards another car and get money from this one by breaking it. But like i said im in two minds at the moment. Ill take some pics over the weekend to show you what kind of damage the car has on it and the work that needs to be done. And also the condition of the inside an stuff. Edited January 4, 2013 by CJ N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkswagenDan Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 If you do break it, let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Why don't you try and flog it mate? I will be honest and say orange isn't my cup of tea but I would be amazed if nobody wanted it. Someone out there will go mad for it. Stick up a reasonable price based on mileage and age. Take the bits of damage into consideration and I'm sure you will get decent money for it. Saves the hassle of breaking it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adesignercallednick Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I agree with Piers - okay it's got a few bits that need addressing but it's a funky, unusual example - I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah I thought it was Audi orange - it was an option on the S3 wasn't it?Poor car - it looks rather unloved. Two heated rear screen buttons? And what on earth is going on with that USB socket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AJ_ Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah it was. The paint was real shiny when I had it! I know, I wanted it to go to a good home.... The other heated window switch is for the rear boot solenoid to pop it open. And no idea with the other bit. If I was car less, id buy it back lol.

RS6plusMTM Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If your thinking of selling then stick it on ebay, as I'll prob bid (or msg me with an offer) as I'm looking for a low cost GTI for a project cardoesn't have to be perfect condition but it must have air condition so this would suit me perfectly.

CJ N Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sorry guys aint been on here in a while, ive made a decision on what im doing with it. Plan was just to get rid of it and move on but everytime i get in and drive it its game over. So yes im going to keep it a few more months until the insurance runs out on it, im not sure what ill do with the exterior at the moment, its not really a big issue with me because the way it drives keeps me happy enough. Im sorry to have wasted peoples time and stuff.The other thing...the heated seat button was put in afterwards by me, if u look at the pics the seats are cloth and im pretty sure only the leathers came with the heated seat funtion. But anyway i stripped them and put in aftermarket heat pads and managed to find a switch which looked similar to the lupo ones. The usb is just something i was messing about with, just saves having loads of wires all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
