Well, the mk4 Gti is gone to a new home in Kerry, I had been thinking about changing it for age's, baby seats and 3dr cars don't really go well together!
I seen that my old 2006 vRS was up for sale, I sold it back in January '10 to Paddy, oconnpad on here.
It has been advertised on here since June, I thought it would have been snapped up long ago, but I kept checking the ad and it was still available, then over Christmas, I arranged to view the car, not expecting it to be anywhere as clean as it turned out to be, no disrespect to Paddy, it was exactly as I had sold it!!
I done a deal with him there and then, based on me selling my Gti!! which I did eventually.....
The spec is the usual Irish spec vRS, all electrics, maxidot display, climate control, cruise control plus 18'' zenith alloys etc etc,
Anyway, I never had a build thread for this car when I had it before, so I'll do a quick run through of what's been added up to now,
I'll get better pictures up over the next while, sorry Paddy, I've robbed a few of your picture's!! I can only find a few of my old pics!!
The first thing I added was a Skoda RNS510/Columbus touchscreen sat nav system, brilliant bit of kit, I'm sure you all know what they are by now, 30GB HDD, DVD player etc....

I then added a carbon air intake, bought from the US,
The ride height was something I didn't like, so I added a H&R cup kit, bought and fitted by Keith,
I got the rear window's tinted to a light, oem look factory tint!

I also fitted a set of German plates, Skoda reg plate surrounds, aluminium vRS seat inserts and footrest,

I also added a set of oem looking HID's into the projector's.
Here's a pic from a few years ago, after a good clean, before the car was lowered though....

Here it was in the snow just before I sold it in Jan '10,

As I'm sure you all expect, I have loads of plans for it, will have to wait a while though, until the bank account recovers!

For now, I'm just going to enjoy it.... again
