Well back wen i was 18 i was looking for a new car, golf 2.0 GTI was what i had in mind but my dads mate was selling his 172 so i thought id see if i could get insured for me 19th bday in oct 2007, and i managed 1700:quiet: so i thought o well only live once and i did. paid 4k with 42k miles and it was mint only mod was ph2 rear lights and a full stainless system RESULT! O and it was ICEBURG SILVER! quite rare on the ph1 so ive herd.

So how it was back then when i picked it and washed it for the first time

So i thought the 15s where too small so the hunt started for a new set or rims. Took me ages bu finaly found a set of 16" F1s rare as fook! sadly not the renault oz ones but the standard oz ones either way i think they look mint. These where an absolute state though i got them of chris curr on here so i made the 300 mile trip and collected.
