After my 406 V6 got written off (thread here) I had a big urge to buy a 6 again. I've already owned a nile phase 2 DTurbo, a low mileage (28k when I bought it!) mint nile phase 2.5 GTi-6, and a throttle bodied/cammed/you name it S16, so this one had to be a bit more special, and I knew I wanted one either in astor or bianca. One morning I found an 84k astor GTi-6 for sale on gumtree, and gave the guy a call. The bodywork is in extremely good condition, with only a couple of minor dents on the bonnet and a scratch on the bottom of the bumper.
Anyway, enough talking, here it is:
At the moment it's got a K&N panel filter, and shadow chrome cyclones. As you might be able to see from the first picture, they're in need of a refurb, however I do still have my speedline turinis which will be going back on it. I also need to refit the splitter as this one seems to have lost its splitter on the way.
Plans are to spray the petrol caps pur-...wait, sorry, that's Kim's 6
I want to fit the turinis and splitter for now, and another exhaust as this is a pattern part exhaust and hangs a bit high for my liking. I'd like to drop it a bit too, but I'm thinking of waiting until I can get some coilovers, and 21mm torsion bars for the rear and do the drop all at once. Also black (well astor actually) masks, as they'll look epic.
I'll take some proper photos once I've given it a good clean/clay/polish/wax and have the turinis on
Should be this weekend if all goes to plan!
