Default What todo....?

Right, had my vts for over 2 years now, its perfect, for once there is nothing wrong with it. Its got 12 months mot, tax untill feb, 106 leather seats, a few carbon bits, body work is near spotless and it drives 100%. Never been happier. A picy:



However, yesterday i got my hands on this:



Got it cheap as it needs new tyres, discs and pads, pas pump and a drive shaft.

The problem is, ive fallen for the colour. Had a vtr in Maritous blue 2 years ago and loved it, now this GTi has the 16v power

The thing is, if i was to keep the GTi, i would have to sell the VTS, cant keep both, just wont be able to afford it. But is it daft to get rid of a car that i know is 100% for one that i know nothing about?

On the plus side, with the cash from the VTS sale, i could make the GTi as good, if not better. But why bother when i allready have one sat there?

Grrr im such a

My favorite colour of Gti that, but as you said you'll be swapping a known sound car for something you like the colour of!

Fix the 106 on the cheap, maybe swap the anti roll bars with yours and sell it!

My vts has powerflex bushes throughout and i have a pug sport 25mm arb sat in the garage

Maybe i only want the GTi because i dont have one, if you get me. As soon as it was my official car, i would possibly want my vts back. I hate being a fanny

hard one ther, are either of the cars lowered out of interest, gti looks it , vts doesnt? whats life without risks tho, if u feel you need a change after over 2 years, all about u tho, deep inside u probably want the gti as u now have it, you cud do up a list of mods to make it a winner which may sway you towards selling the vts

Keep the S mate. And try and get some profit on the GTi. They are the same car, and you've already got a spotless example. I do like that China Blue (?) though!

Profit ftw

The gti is lowered 40mm apparently, looks more like 50 to me tbh. Also has a 3" pugsport, gmc quick shift and random k&n filter.

Minxy, if you are interested, come and have a look, as you can tell, not in any rush lol
