Mmm, tough choice I would get a rallye with how rare they are becoming. Depends if you like your comforts?

[spike2002]

Im not to fussed when it comes to electrics exc think i may price up all the parts i have and see what i would make off her towards a rallye would have to be a white or black one tho i think

[spike2002]

Updated with few prices are these about rite??

[samass]

tough one mate. id make you an offer on the good engine if you did decide to break

id say get a rallye tho. (and thats not just cuz i want the engine lol)
rarer, more desirable etc etc

[spike2002]

Pm me what you would offer mate and what you would want with it its as in my project thread but has 6 speed box with new clutch plate fitted Now

[4WayDiablo]

Think I would keep the 6 tbh it looks like you have put your stamp on there and made it how you want it
You would have to start all over again

As for prices I'd tot it up then work out 50-75% of that and that's what you may get. No one ever gets what they want what with haggling and not selling it all :-)
2P

[spike2002]

Thanks mate i think most parts will probly go on ebay if i decide to break to sell them quick

Im 50/50 as what to do realy fancy a white or black rallye

[4WayDiablo]

White and black wallyes are epic. Just look at Maria's white wallye or gunges black wallye to see the awesomeness.
I think you already have your mind made up what with this thread and so on
Go get your wallye! :-)

[ash240970]

Black and white cars are a bitch to keep clean - I've had white and now have black lol
Oh and if you do go for white(only colour SRowell will buy as he doesn't like black apparently :flol: ) panels and door handles are a bitch to get hold of

[spike2002]

Im so undecided i spent alot of time money and effort on the 6 but been looking at the rallyes for sale found a few nice ones aswell

---

Andy i know where there is a white hdi estate sat there going green trying to buy iy to break still at the mo

[4WayDiablo]

Ash... black are too :-( been looking for ph3 stuff for mine but the one time I got an offer I had no money :-(

[HDIkyle]

Just whip the aircon pump off and change the window motors. You then have a rallye. Simplez

[spike2002]

I did plan fot the a/c to go any way but it still wont be a rallye lol

[procta]

nah, as you have just bought a replacement engine for it and making a start on modding the car. in away you have wasted your time. plus if these GTI6s keep getting turned into tins of beans, there wont be any left for them to become retro classics.

[spike2002]

True abit like the 205 gtis not to many of them left now

[spike2002]

Had my eyes on this one aswell

Onyx black is nowhere near as rare in 3dr as most black 6's are onyx loads of black 3dr dtubs are too - white was much less popular in any 3dr model

Well I can sell the white front door handles tomorrow

[Matt]

White door handles? Me me me!


Rallyes are sweet! Love mine. Everyone's getting them atm lol. I'd definatley get a cherry! Too many black and white ones about at the moment

[Scott]

Matt I already got the door handle for you yesterday

[Matt]

He said handles. That was plural. Maybe he has two

Well I can only hope. Also what side was it? Totally forgot

[spike2002]

Matt the car im trying to get is a white x reg hdi estate its been sat since 2008 will be breaking it if i do get her strugaling to find out who ownes the car as its parked on private land next to aload of flats and garages but the landlord wont give me the owners information

[Matt]

DVLA? Or leave a note on the windscreen? Lol

[Toms306]

Personally I'd stick with the '6............I'm sure a rallye is awesome on track.......but as a daily, I'd rather have comfortable half leathers and lots of electrics.

[Matt]

Rallye seats are more comfortable than the half leathers, plus unless your aircon actually works (which I doubt it does) the only thing that's different is the windows. Which tbh doesn't make a difference

[spike2002]

Will dvla tell me who ownes it and a address tho?

---

I find half leathers less comfy in the summer aswell

[Niall]

You can apply to them for the details of the owner providing you have a valid reason. Think yours may be valid as it does seem like its been dumped.

I had pov spec rallye seats in my 1.4 miami...that car was basically a rallye......but with a tu engine lol. Was probably the second most uncomfatable seats I've ever had.....the most uncomfaortable are the pov spec bus seats in my 106 so far lol.

Plus...the AC has worked in all of my 306s.

And winding windows are a pita too.....so much effort when you could just have a one touch button.

But unfortunately I dont learn from my mistakes.........I swapped my pov spec 306 for a meridian becasue I like toys, I swapped my pov spec golf for a top spec one because I like toys, and then I bought a pov spec 106....and wished I'd bought one with more toys.

[Niall]

Tom they couldn't of been proper rallye seats. My 106 rallye seats were absolutely epic!
