IMO again original unmoded ones will fetch more money, thats why the mods ive done are reverseably This i would agree with! But as for the storm i cant see what all the fuss is about IMO, even tho they are a limited edition i chose not to buy one. a very good point there about storms, i guess your buying into the exculsive part of 250 in each colour (its that word limited edition people go crazy for, where it be a 2 disc DVD or a car, if you see what im saying, personally i think vw should of made the storm a 3.2litre,to make it extra special, Recaro seats as standard, lowered alittle more etc etc. i think its personally choice i guess

cheers buddy, Asim is a top bloke, and his car was awesome, so to me thats a BIG compliment, soooooo thank you, Havent seen Asim for years now, his got me into MK1 golfs, the chaps a real down to earth gent :) i believe he came out of the VW scene, and got into Porsches i believe??

Nath stop worrying :nono: , look let me put it like this, i saw a silver mk1 golf gti campaign for sale at the NEC classic car show back in Nov good clean car under 100k miles wish clean interior, recently had a full respray. They were asking £8995 for it!! they had a couple of offers that day, what im trying to say is they can ask what they like, they're only going to get what some ones prepared to pay for it!! MK1 golfs went right down in the mid-late 90's to what i call banger money, really hit rock bottom, but in the last couple of years especially since VW have made alot of the parts obsolute, they have started to go up in value,they have becoming rarer, and original ones are very hard to come buy in good nick Corrado's a slightly different, they not the original hot hatch, but i think they will increase in value as the years go on but i think its more a long term thing, IMO again original unmoded ones will fetch more money, thats why the mods ive done are reverseably, unfortunatly fuel prices will have a big part to play in it as well as having the all important timing chains done, then smaller things like colour optional extra will come into it. just sick a storm badge on it that will add another 1K lol hope that helps mate Chris :)

Cheers buddy, made a massive different machine polishing it. :norty: really brought out the met paint in it just looks ten times better, just the stones chips let it down :( how yours comin along any piccys?

Got a polisher and some car cleaning stuff from the missus for xmas so though i would try it out, was blown away by the results, many thanks to Andy 665, A1 VR6, Nemesis 360 and Zak for the help and advise :salute: late VR6 288MM calipers repainted, Tarox G88 grooved discs and Ferodo fast road pads fitted DONE!!! :D Inlet manifold and rocker cover media blasted couresty of D&G of DG Autotech :wave: :notworthy:

lookin very nice mate, wish mine wasnt a daily really as it does get all the crap and salt over it this time of year!!!!!

just awesome mate love those photo's :notworthy: car is lookin mint as ever

Looking at getting a machine polisher for Xmas, as my car has never been polished only waxed in the four years i have owned it!!!! i really dont know which one to go for I have looked on Detailing world and they highly recommend a Makita rotary polisher.I really dont know which machine to go for as rotary's are supposed to give you the best finish but you could end up damaging your paint, or do i play it safe and go for the Meg DA polisher! will i get just as good a finish, thinking of going for the Megs/Mezmana package on clean your car. I love detailing my car but have never used a machine polisher in my life. any help people i would be most gratful regards Chris

Hello mate its coming on nicely mate, what did you use to clean the engine bay, looks like its come up mint regards Chris

Do you use the standard OE VW rubbers or the ones that come with the Supersprint Backbox?? Are you talking about the 263's? If so they are bloody awesome, transformed it completely like day and night. Its how the VR should of come from the factory.

Garath, i notice you have the same Supersprint exhaust as me, Garath do you get any knocking, or fouling issue, if so how did you sort it. Any help i would be most grateful regards Chris

Zak mate, do you know if you Bro uses a rotary polisher or a DA mate?

lovely mk1 golf mate :notworthy: you just cant beat it for smiles per miles :norty:
