    Anyone know this Gransport?

    This was the car I went to look at last year. In early September 2019 it was on 50985 miles, so not many miles covered in the new ownership. When I viewed it, the airbag light was on permanently and the oil pressure was maxed out on a test drive. I would also disagree with the regular servicing...

    GS £15k

    I am tempted to just get rid of the rear mufflers completely. Quite a common mod in the US. Should save about 25kg in weight too. The only issue is the car is loud/drones on cold start with the stock exhausts, so I don't think my neighbours would be too happy with a louder exhaust. Something...

    Congrats on buying it. Hopefully you got a good deal for it. I can see it has had a much needed wheel refurb. Apart from the clutch, what other plans do you have for it? Hopefully a full service. Keep posting updates though! I gave up on the Gransport search as I was struggling to find one...

    Good deal?

    Yep the ADG one has sold. I was interested in it but didn't move quick enough. It did need a few repairs done to it, badly painted wheels, a few slight dents in the roof, new door gasket needed and plenty of sticky parts etc. The other ADG one is the one that has been mentioned many times (but...

    Autoglym polar wash

    Might give this a try. I recommend polar seal to finish it off too to add a bit of protection or top up wax/ceramic coatings. Very easy spray on and wash off.

    Rockits - I guess the owner had no before photos prior to the wrap? I would expect decent wrappers and/or owners to have some photo evidence for situations like this.

    Not sure if this one is known on here, but I saw this one pop up the other day and could be another option for you Mavster if ADG falls through. Vinyl wrap over silver (as you can see from the headlights), so you would have to take a gamble with what it looks like underneath. I think the red...

    Daily Driver Required, new job 1st Oct

    If you are looking at Golf Gtd, I would suggest looking at a Seat Leon 2.0 tdi 184. Same engine/underpinnings as the golf but likely to be cheaper/better spec. A bit less tartan though! I have the 150bhp one and it has been great. Doing 30k-ish per year and needed nothing other than tyres and...

    Beat me to it! Congrats, it looks like a great car. Very jealous!

    Even the rear ones?

    Gransport wanted

    I'm in the same boat as you Mavster. Had initially set the budget at £20k but now looking up to £25k. Ideally looking for a Med Blu or black one, but the right ones haven't come up. I like the LE that ADG have, but I much prefer the chrome grills to black (me being overly fussy!). As mentioned...

    Ha I think you might be right. Hopefully that ability will come in handy with future ownership. "It doesn't matter that I had to sell all my possessions, at least the car has a working heater matrix now!"

    GS £15k

    For anyone else thinking about this car, I would try and go in with your eyes wide open with this. It is not perfect by any means. I went to view this car (twice as the first time I ran out of time due to traffic getting to the showroom). I am sure someone could fix it up, who has deeper...
