Hi guys

Just picked up this little beauty yesterday. Nice condition and spec. This will be our second car, alongside my b7 RS4.

As soon as I saw the spec I had to make sure I viewed it first!

- 5dr Gti DSG
- Paddles
- Leather with buckets
- Xenons
- Cruise control
- Sat nav
- Parking sensors
- Sunroof

Only thing that lets it down is that the wheels need a refurb.

I only have pics from the advert at the moment, will update with some more at a later date.

Great spec, and those seats

Very nice! Not a fan of the buckets myself... But everything else =

Would think your first mods gotta be an RNS510 and a factory bluetooth kit! (Get rid of that parrot!)

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

I do indeed intend to ditch the current nav and the parrot kit. I've got a pioneer Apple CarPlay unit in the RS4 and it's pretty good, so will probably do the same in the Gti. I read somewhere that Apple are making CarPlay wireless...what I don't know is if the current pioneer units are going to be compatible with wireless connection.

Drove it across London on Saturday, good fun, comfortable and so nice having an auto in traffic.

Absolute first thing is that I need to give it a thorough clean inside and out, still feels like someone else's car until I do!

Will go into autoshades in Sutton to get front windows tinted soon.

Next, have to do something about the wheels.
