Finally I am able to work the picture fingy, anyway heres my ride, picked it up last Saturday.

No mods yet, but its a 2001 dark mett' blue with cream Recaro leather, the multi function steering wheel, cruise, winter pack and 6cd indash changer, a rear spoiler and I think it has a bigger front splitter? Planning to get a set of 18's asap.

looks like she has anni front and roof spoiler!

very tasty! well done!

make sure you get full aero wipers!!

 

[PJ]

Looking good mate. Would the dealer be Abridge by any chance?

 

[burnsyV6]

PJ: Indeed it would be sir!

R44MS K: What are aero wipers? Im new to the VW jargon! ....and can you post or PM a bigger pic of your car cos I was eyeing up the audi 19's too! ) Any probs with those By the way??

 

[R44MS_K]

no probs running 19s!

no pics of aero wipers but i will take some 2morow for you - heres a pics of those 19s for you!!

 

[burnsyV6]

Yum, very tidy! My day dreams at work have all come true ha ha.

This was my previous motor, as you can see im all for the modding:

 

[R44MS_K]

clio sport! yum!! not a fan of the rims but what a car!!

 

[cage]

Nice looking 4motion, with the Votex front spoiler also, only need the side skirts and colour code the rear valance, drop the ride on some nice 18/19's (preferably not Audi A8's[]) and your sorted.

Your clio sport looks on point BTW, I was very tempted to get one, but prefer German build quality.[8D]

 

[burnsyV6]

Yeah she will be missed, that car used to fly mate, they are very underestimated (as alot of more powerful cars found out) but when you do a alot of motorway driving then you need a more comfy ride, plus the clio was a pain in da backside in the wet! Renault build quality and service sucks rotten goose eggs aswell!

Y-EUMY! - see what i did there!....nevermind!

Nice mate, like the beige leather Recaros. Fancy a set of them myself.

 

[andymac]

Beige leather recaros are rare as the proverbiable rocking horse waste, welcome to v6motion ownership from another ex-froggy hatchback freak (205 mi16 and pug 306 gti-6) all for moddin aswell just got no money to do it!!!

I would say a similar style wheel would also suit your motor. Are those RS-GT's [?].

What are aero wipers?

Take a look in this thread for pics of the fron aero wipers (and part numbers) http://www.uk-mkvs.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24649&SearchTerms=+aero+wipers

 

[Eastman]

Nice looking 4mo mate - Well Done! Was It raining when you bought the car?

It was Chucking it down when I bought mine.

Ramms - THat looks like Amars Garage- hehehe[] You can see him in the back.

 

[burnsyV6]

Morning all

Thanks for all the nice comments, im really happy with the car its so nice to drive! ..and the sound of the vee is lovely! Im gonna check out this aero wiper madness and see whats what.

BTW, ajfaulk: I like what you did with the name there - gold star mate! he he

Oh, the above picks were when I put the deposit down, when I picked the car up it was blazing sunshine woo hoo

Heres a pic of da dash, I will get a better one of the seats soon as:

 

[golfv64mo]

Call me sad, if you wish, but those seats look like standard VW sports leather seats. Just like mine. As someone further up the thread said - cream leather recaros are rarer than Hens' Teeth.

Makes 3 of us, moved over from peugeot and citroen myself. And too have no money

Its a shame it wasn't raining when you picked the car up, the grip would have impressed even more for the first drive!

Nice find with the rear spoiler and front valance!

 

[burnsyV6]

Are these not the normal Recaros then? I dont know if there are differnet types or not? (Confused!)

 

[golfv64mo]

I stand corrected. Those fronts are Recaros for sure! [] Well done on snagging a V6 with them!

Those of you with Recaros - in burnsyV6's photos, the rears look like normal seats - I thought the easiest way to tell if a car had Recaros by a casual look was the shape of the headrests. Recaros that I've seen before in Golfs have kinda 'tall' headrests, whereas the standard seats have the 'oblong' shaped ones?
