It is, unfortunately for me, time to part company with my 205.
It is being used as a daily driver by my Mrs and having two kids means it is just too small to be practical, need something bigger and a bit newer with power steering for her really.
Some of you know the car from when Ben had it and will know what it used to look like.
It is now back in its proper red and black GTI trim.
Since I have owned it it has only really needed an inner track rod and new top mounts changing, although I now think it could do with the passenger front strut changing as it has begun to knock a bit and wanders a bit in right handers.
The balljoints and rubbers are pretty new and in good nick, no play in any of the wheels when jacked up.
No camber or squeeks or knocking from rear beam which has bilstein dampers fitted.
83k showing, some history,old MOTs and a folder of receipts and stuff to show this and condition of seats and steering wheel would also indicate this to be true.
Mechanicaly sound as a pound, uses no oil or water, first time fire up everytime and pulls very well through the rev range and sounds fapping lovely. K&N fitted for the induction roar. 1.6 gearbox fitted (reverse next to first).
The bodywork is pretty good really for a car this old, the worst bit is where the previous owner took off a wraparound spoiler that was attatched to the boot and rear quarters. The boot was replaced but the rear quarters were painted in hammerite white, badly.
There is also a slight crease in the passenger wing, see photos for both of these.
MOT till May 2nd and taxed till 31/12/14. No advisories at last test.
Thats not rust under the paint, its the sticky stuff from the spoiler been painted over.(!)
Looking for around £1600 for it and am open to offers. (No confectionary or condiments considered funnymen )
Thanks for having a peep at it, P.M me if you want to talk any further about it or want my mobile number.
Will be going on ebay if it hasn't sold here in a week or two.
Cheers.
Danny.
