Looking better, just get those wheels swapped and lowered! (although they are growing on me).

Who's is the other motor Dave?

And John must be a very trusting guy! ;)
 
  Golf GTI PP Mk7
lovely colour, although those wheels dont do it for me, get some turinis on there boy, hehe. super clean though.
 
Lovely colour! Was my backup choice when I got mine. How many reds is that now among the northern CSers? Not 100% convinced on the wheels I'm afraid, but I reckon they'd be improved once it's lowered.

What's John doing not driving it? Too attached to the 1.4S? ;)

A guy from livi. I had dropped his friends clio and he wanted me to do his aswell,

john is very trusting but we have known each other for years, hes only doing it so he gets my turbo when its finished ;)

The 172 has a few "niggles" which i have been trying (and failing) to sort. Its in teh garage just now hetting an exhaust fitted on and off to get lazer tracked on Wed.

The 1.4 is more fun to drive. You cna really throw it into a corner and it will just stick (good suspension and tyres) the 172 has a bad knock form what i think is the Cv joint and the WORST tyres in the world. Fast though! ;)

both look cool although not a fan of the wheels id get a set of 15" dynamique wheels for it (think thats what hes lookin for anyway) 15s are the way forward

surprised no ones slated you for saying the wee 1.4 handles better than the 172 like i got when i said mine handled better than a 172

The 172 has the WORST tyres ever on it. And the knock when turning means that it has never been pushed around a corner yet. The 1.4 handles really well. Keeps up with my Mk1 on coilovers (for a bit) :p

Well its not getting mor common mate, they stopped making them!! But yeah its just more of us on CS have them, still pretty rare imo. And cheers Dave for washing it and erm weight saving (wheres my petrol?!?! ;)) But seriously thanks for having a look and taking it for the exhaust.

On a side note why are 172 exhausts so silly quiet?!

Thats the one taht was there yeah, bought it off the guy who used to be the boss there and took all the shite off asap! Gonna see if I can flog the rgm petrol cap cover on fleabay!
 
Ahh right that explains it. Definetly one of the nicest looking RS models around here i've seen just couldn't understand why anyone would ruin it with those bits that were on it.
Keep it mate pin it on your wall you never know you might have a change of heart and want to put it back on lol!
Nice car anyway hope you enjoy it!
