Bit of an unexpected purchase again, but given the dice life rolls, i wanted some fun for a bit, just in case.
Another hats off to the previous owner, bit like my sepang blue s3 saloon which was surperb

Hadn't seriously been looking at JCWs, but had a look at Bavarian and online for the last week, then spotted this private car, owned by an car nut, and prior to that by his mum from new.

Thunder grey
Nov 2016
Lots of options- taken from the ad
Chili/CHILLI Pack,
JCW Heated Recaro Sport Seats
4 pot Brembo Brake Callipers.
231ps. 6 speed Manual.
Tyre Condition: Michelin PS4s fitted recently.
Head-Up Display, -
XL Media Pack inc SatNav, -
Bluetooth Audio and Phone Prep, -
Harman Kardon Speaker system, -
Reversing Assist Camera, -
Rear Parking Sensors, -
Cruise Control. -
LED Headlights
Pro Rear Diffuser & Pro Rear Splitter
Pro Spoiler Extensions finished in Gloss Black
JCW Pro Exhaust with Bluetooth Valve Activation
Lowered on H&R springs
15mm spacers all round
De-chromed with vinyl wrap

Its also had the driver seat base replaced as the heating element failed
All side badges replaced a few months back


Now, the problem is I have a 2016 GTI golf, 5 door, dsg, and in a month or two one of them is going to have to sell. Need to work out which one. I can't keep both as I also have a scrapper CRV that owes me nothing and I've grown attached to. I have a 5 year old daughter, and a wife that loves minis. Watch this space or classifieds :grinning:

Some pics before I drive it down the B roads.

A week on from purchasing and it brings out the hooligan in me every time I drive it. I’ve the forsale ad in draft for the GTI. I’ll give it another few weeks

Boooooorrrrrrriiiiiinnnnnggg!!!
I know what you mean about the GTI. I've had no luck either :weary_face:
Yeah, so much for the iconic hot hatch. Don't know what it is, maybe the R's are more desirable, but I don't think @Lyons is having much luck either
