#1: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:42 am ---- I really want a 206 gti in white. Have found 1 on auto trader site for £1600 02 plate and 62,000, i'm thinking I either respray mine which now has 80,000 on the clock or take off the good bits from mine, sell it and buy a white gti and still have a little money left over
#2: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:45 am ---- i would buy the white one, lot less hassle, and how much will it cost to respray yours?
#3: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:49 am ---- probably twice the cost of the white gti
#4: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: Locky, Location: Newcastle / PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:03 am ---- Buy the white gti, but dont lose it in the snow!

only kidding id buy the white one mate looks awesome if it was a 1.4 id buy it to replace the 180
#7: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:54 am ---- actually thought you were being straight then matt until i scrolled further down the page, yeah i am really contemplating selling mine to buy the white gti, have already emailed the seller to see if they will part exchange it for mine. Alot of stuff would be removed from mine for the white gti if i bought it but the wheels would probably stay on there.
#8: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 8:58 am ---- haha yeah id love to buy it but the reason the 180 is going is for something more sensible and insurance friendly so that would be a pointless move if you find any white 1.4 or 1.6 ones in devon on your hunt gimme a shout
u not gonna take off the vortexs and put the standard wheels back on?
#9: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 9:03 am ---- Yeah will do mate
Na, gonna leave the vortex's on and with money left over if i have any if i do buy it would get some td pro race 1.2 alloys in white or refurb the nimrods already on there in anthracite

ah noooo dont do the nimrods
thats my plan if i can find a white one i like nick the morettes and all the black LED's lights off the 180 and sell it then take all the gti wings,bumpers,spoiler,interior and the nimrods off the grey one and do the nimrods anthracite

If I buy it I may go for an all white theme, so ph2 headlights with hid kit and those red/clear led rears i used to have on the pug before my black lights. Will mostly likely go for the team dynamic alloys mate but the 180 rear bumper will certainly be getting fitted to white gti
#12: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 12:12 pm ---- dont do the respray, a cheap one would be like it says on the tin no matter what they tell and a good one would be £2000 plus
#13: Re: Stupid or Wise idea? Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:34 pm ---- why people bother the color of their car? :s

they may be a pain in the ass to keep clean but you have to admit a 206 gti in white is amazing and very rare, plus I have always wanted a white gti but was too impatient to wait lol going to put the car on pistonheads to gauge interest and see what offers I get.
