I know its not Porsche related, but its from the same family ish. I know some members are on the look out for these, and I'm trying to help out my young lad at work, he's well and truly overspent at Xmas, and has to sell his P&J, plus it gets it out of my garage :)

Good grief - they were appalling. Glad it has sold - looked quite nice once you look past the wheels and ride height...

:floor: in the dub world, the BBS split, is The Holy Grail ! They fetch 1.5k second hand. Golf GTis, are meant to be low, I don't like the 4x4 look :lol: it was on coil overs anyway, so could be sorted easily. I had one unhappy lad at work today, it went Saturday.
