Hi, New member and new car! MK5 GOLF TDI GT
« on: November 02, 2015, 01:49:36 pm »
Hi guys.

Im new here and just saying hello! I just bought a 2009 Mk5 GT TDI GT 140 which I am absolutely over the moon with! Fantastic drive, smooth power and great spec! I have had 3 mk 2 golfs, mk3 vr6 and a corrado in the past and am definitely most at home in a VW.

Very similar to mine with the steel grey and Charleston alloys. I like the look of the 3 door. Mine is 5. What plans you got lined up?  :smiley:

Bin the mud flaps. They don't work and hide trapped mud which will be the death of your nice shiny sills  It'll give you a good excuse to clean under the wheel arch liners too :happy2:

Thanks for the welcome and the replies!

I don't have big plans for the car, it was actually a cost saving excersize buying it.

So far I've added a rns510, adding the 9w7 Bluetooth kit and want to retrofit a mfsw. Has any one had experience with retro Gti g mfsw? I know I need the wheel, air bag wiring and a steering wheel module but I don't know which module I need. Any one know a part number for the right one? Thanks

Also thanks for the tips on the mud flaps. Will do my best to clean under them!

I was going to add Gti side skirts as I think they would join the front and rear plastics but it looks quite involved with drilling etc

I know a lot of people who just glue the side skirts. No need to drill the car's body.

Ah ok cool. But then is there a way to revert back to original if needed?
