(New) S2 16V Rallye

[leeds_182]

Ok, so this is my second S2 Rallye in as many weeks. I guess I just really like buying them.

Its probably a little better condition than the white one so potentially a better project.

Few quick iphone pictures - ill upload some more after a clean tomorrow.

Surely this one wasn't anything like 800 quid? That's looks beaut!

 

[jesus]

Lowered a cm or two at the front and this one would be perfect. Looks really good!

 

[imprezaworks]

Wtf lol you keeping it?

 

[realnumber 1]

Lol... Looks great that colour, best one yet.

 

[Gally]

Lovely mate. Shame about the wheels. Always thought they needed a Gti spoiler.

Anyway really want one.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Wait, wat?

 

[Adamm.]

Lovely mate, always wanted an s1 or s2 never had either .

 

[Matthew]

You're joking right?

If you're not, you're a mental ha.

Its too low at the back Jim, needs raising to match the front.

 

[coleman]

Looks lovely, how much?

i like the wheels

No joke mate! I agree that the back needs raising but it's not that straight forward if things have 'seized'.

I've actually got a gti spoiler in the boot but I prefer them without.

Im undecided on the wheels, I kinda like the contrast with the black and the blue.

Jim your wife must have the patience of a coma victim lol.

Jim your wife must have the patience of a coma victim lol.

She does! I just have a grand in the cupboard and go buy cars every now and again. When you're buying at the bottom of the food chain there is a lot less to lose!

 

[josh11490]

Tempted by one of these as my next car, love them!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

So true!

Something to be said for driving around in something you can afford to not worry about!

 

[Gally]

Totally agree mate. I've loved the swapping of cars recently. Lot of fun.

I have always liked the Rallye, in the best colour as well Hopefully have the GTI back on the road very soon. Miss the pugsport sound!

 

[andywa]

Are you starting a used car lot from your drive? Does look nice though. You cant beat a tidy Rallye.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

[bendee]

Mentalist. Get that boot floor painted.

I don't understand why you keep changing cars, when all you seem to buy are 106's?!

Why not try something else if you're going to be chopping and changing every month??

I guess I like buying French hot hatch backs and with a budget of £1000 it kinda limits my choices. Like Wayne Carini says - its all about the chase.

 

[Matthew]

f**king love Wayne Carini!

I'd marry that white tash'd mother fucker if I was gay.

 

[Richyy182]

Hahaha you are insane. Sold tomorrow?

 

[MarcoB]

1st dibs this time

Think I saw this advertised last week was up for £1600 iirc

 

[turner24]

Let loose with the clay bar today and gave it a polish and wax today and looked a lot better.

Rear brakes need a refresh which is next on the to do list.
