Few of you seen the pics, Eli and I picked this up earlier today. We've bought this as a daily/cheaper alternative to driving the GTI and gives time for the 205 to get into decent shape.
And no, it's not a scott/ed/sam remake. This is a unique 5 door DERV as i can't break my 5 door habit.
Standard all round, HDi, 120k on the clocks, very tidy paint work besides a small rust spot on the boot and a few stone chips on the front. Very clean interior, clean engine bay and on cyclones with 2 new tyres, they'll need a refurb in time. Anyway, pics.

Never thought i'd be able to get on with an HDi but i'm impressed with the standard pull on it!
I've been strictly told; NO modifications until at LEAST 1 month. To be fair, there's not to be many mods we'd do, probably a little lowering and some bigger brakes. Again, such a nice example, there's no need to change anything at the moment!

Probably, basically, ginge broke his nad, and mines still going stronger than ever! This hdi is a symbol of him admitting defeat and failure.

Meh, just needs to pass an MOT.
Can a GTI pass with a CAT , straight through, back box?
