21 and loving it... the GPX that is!

Postby GPXtatic » Mon Aug 26, 2013 2:41 am

Hey im Lucius, im 21 and run my family takeaway in dublin. Long story short it was time to buy a car a bit bigger than the peugeot 106 i learned in and had for nearly 3 years. So upon looking for a car bumper or a friend i came across my now GPX mivec. ill try post pics. didnt add anything to it so it came with the bodykit,wheels and spoiler but personally i love it. i didnt want something pedestrian. dont get me wrong, golf tdi's, audi turbo diesels are all great reliable cars, but i wanted something different. haha :D and different i got!! i met my another fto on the m50 passing cherrywood saturday 24th august around 5:45pm, looked like a father and son going for a spin and the young boy tried to get his father to look across to see myself and my brother going maaad bouncing around that we saw another fto haha bit of fun was had on the m50 till we parted our ways maybe the gentleman is on this site! anyways ill try post pics. its a manual stick gpx genuine mivec.

I knew it was the one, I had a look at it up there awhile ago when I was collecting a car and I also thought the spoiler was to big but then changed to liking it.

From what i seen it's a very clean car and it mite just have some nice extra's like APracing front calipers and an ARC airbox? I don't think the spoiler is off an evo but it's an aftermarket adjustable spoiler!

Nice looking FTO - have seen it on the FTO forums a few times now so there has been some previous enthusiast owners of that car.

Thats quite a bulky rear wing though - From my (fuzzy) memory I think its from "carbon creations" .

Haha im finding out more about my car from the forums than anything else :) . yeh its adjustable not that ive changed it from the pictures. And i suppose thats lucky Myfeckin FTO that i know previous owners cared for it. im trying my best to look after it because it is nice and different and i refuse to ruin it by neglecting it so going to be on this a fair bit for diy's and guides.
