    The "2006" one was a 106 Cian ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,730 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Ah wrong one so. :D
    There's a 106 GTI floating about that's was written off and pretty much completely rebuilt as a new car. Owner before last sold it to his mate an only found out afterwards after letting it go cheap, he always thought it seemed too clean for the year. Last time I saw it on done deal, it was up for less then a grand. :eek:

    Note: that's from memory, some of it could be wrong.

    Aye, I read about it too. Like it was completely rebuilt from ground up. Like it got a new body or something?

    I would noting one of these as daily drivers. Some fun can be had on these!

    Picked up another FTO GPX yesterday, few too many mods and stickers for my liking, so will be trying to get it back standard.

    Pictured alongside my Version R.

    Completely reshelled at least, I'll dig up the full story tomorrow evening. I'd love to get my hands on it.

    What's the iPhone holder Paddy? Looks pretty good! The rest of the car however, looks amazing!

    It's a ProClip console mount for iPhone 5. It's a screwless install but not all that cheap (although still cheaper than the BMW snap-in adapter for under the arm rest)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭advertsfox


    Sweet loving jebus that's exquisite!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,264 ✭✭✭shanec1928

    What camera/lens is that Paddy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,295 ✭✭✭Supergurrier


    What wheels are they Paddy ? Dare by any chance ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    Completely reinforces what I said about the time, cost and effort put into that car. Absolutely amazing looking. It's easy to put lots of money into a car, but to have it look that good and make the right choices with wheels etc. is difficult. Much kudos Paddy

    Absolutely stunning, don't think there can be a nicer E90 out there.

    Here's my new toy, loving it. Not a great shot, took this before I bought it - I've yet to get out and take shots from every angle! Next on my list when I can eventually get to it is the S4, dream on for now... loving the power in this though, 2.0T with 200bhp, I've just come from a 2TDI with 142 and there is a massive difference in this.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,280 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Best of luck with the new wheels :)

    Yeah wouldn't mind a bit of snow to see how it does! It has certainly impressed me anyway in wet conditions over the last few days.

    Way too much work & cost to retrofit iDrive, the iPhone does everything I need now (Nav, wireless music, OBDII access etc.)
    What wheels are they Paddy ? Dare by any chance ?

    3SDM 0.01 in 19x9.5 front and rear.
