The GTI-R PHOENIX page
(Last updated 22 Oct 2005)
This page is devoted to the brave souls who have bought or have suffered the unhappy misfortune of having a wrecked GTI-R and decided to resurrect their car to it's former glory ... or better ... or better not!
This page is a place to come when you feel that you have an impossible task in front of you - a place of inspiration. That nothing is impossible ... almost nothing, that is.
