Hi guys so after 2 years of wanting one i finally purchased an FN2 Type R GT in Milano red.
I loved my previous car a 106 GTi but s soon as i got my new job i was on the lookout:
I had already started looking before my job had been confirmed, as soon as it had been i was applying for finance. After searching for 2 weeks i finally found the perfect FN2!
a 2007 in milano red with GP kit, sat nav and 19" rage alloys all as standard. Two lady owners from new and only 26,000 miles!!
I rang as soon as i saw it and was told someone was ringing to put down a deposit. i badgered the guy for about an hour with calls and he finally told me to come over and he would hold the car for me.
as soon i saw it in the showroom i knew i wasn't leaving without it been mine haha i did the checks recommended on here and took it for a test drive and sorted everything out when we got back.
Here's a couple of snaps i got before i left her at the showroom waiting for the finance to go through:
I went to go pick it up a week later and had a smile on my face all the way home. VTEC is so addictive :twisted:
I already had a little pile of bits for her ready to fit.
The gear gaiter looked like this:
it soon looked like this, courtesy of top gaiters on ebay:
Next was the team hecko wind deflectors as i love the look of them:
I also had some spoon socks for the reservoirs:
A week later i had a new oil cap and mugen radiator cap:
I also bought a load of cleaning stuff for her and gave her a good polish and wax:
So after my first 2 weeks of ownership i can say i'm absolutely loving the type R! i have just bought a HKS RSK induction kit from a member on the other site that also comes with the TDI North Heatshield which is exactly what i wanted and at a great price. that should be with me at some point this week and i thought while i'm fitting that i may as well get a short shifter from short shifters UK on ebay. as well as that i have a MrBozo mirror module on the way. All will be fitted next saturday and i will update.
Hope you like Ruby i sure do... i know my girlfriends not too keen on all the attention and money she's getting haha
