Body work
Paint is surprisingly good for age, generally in great condition with the exceptions of a few small areas of either stone chips or surface rust
Standard Gsi front and rear bumpers

DEPO smoked headlights
Clear oval repeaters
Famous 'gromet mod' to tailgate
Delocked and colour coded passenger side door handle
MOT'd until end of September 2007
Taxed until May 2007
Since i brought the car off Myke off of here, i ve had it down to V-Tuning to get it checked over as well as to have a few changes made. It's running 100% and is awesome fun to drive!
The car has been RR'd before it went to v-tuning and produced 155bhp with same amount of torque. Fueling was all over the place and since that was sorted its running noticeably better, it will be RR'd again at the end of next week but should easily manage 160+ bhp. The car was also taken to a local weigh bridge and came in at 880kg!
Estimated of performance figures for you...
0-60 6.4
0-100 15.9
1/4 mile 14.4
The car has done a 1/4 mile by the old owner of 14.5, before the fueling issue was resolved.






Looking for £2150 ono and am in no rush to sell.
