I have been meaning to get up a thread about my MK5 Golf GTI in Reflex Silver for a while after becoming slightly addicted to checking out other members rides on here. This is my second Golf, my last car was a MK4, I also have a Classis Beetle which is garaged, I will get a photo up of this as well, keeping it all rather VW  :happy2:

The car is still under warranty as it came from a dealership, most of what I add will be cosmetic for the time being.

Very nice,only suggestion is lose the chrome mirrors and colour code them to the car

I haven't posted in a while but been quite busy. Last weekend changed the old Denso spark plugs with new Bosch ones, they were looking a bit crappy and a bit of carbon build up, fires up much nicer now, they were much quicker to do than expected. Next weekend changing the oil filter and oil change followed by the other filters. Some of the service history booklet is in German....don't ask, and done about 4000 miles now so wanted to know everything is fresh.

I have also removed the chrome wing mirror covers as I decided they were tacky to find out one of the covers underneath was smashed so bought some off someone and picking them up tomorrow.

Changed the front grille for a US spec one with a chrome trim strip rather than the red and screwed in a square plate I had made at halfords,  much happier with the front end. I tired using doubble sided number plate pads from halfords before screws, went through two sets, they are literally awful and just don't work, so never buy them!

Other things; boot pop mod completed, new whiter fog lights from Powerbulbs and someone is going to restore my headlights for me in Friday as they look a state.

I will get some photos up at the weekend of the progress  :driver:
