Ok, We will start out with a few standard pictures at the moment and a little "how i find it"
Well i bought the car in December and recieved a nice 2 year warranty on the GTI and decided that i would leave it standard For at least the first year so that any problems that arrive could be delt with and replaced with out any Modifcation get out clauses.
This hasnt worked though as the slippery slope has started already..........DOH !
I plan to do a few track days probably 3-4 per year or however much the Mrs / Bank account will allow, my aim with the car is too make it look good, handle well , with more speed and track reliability, although with a fair degree of comfort as it will be my daily driver.
having had a couple of GTIs in the past (im a golf guy) including a minted mk2 GTI & a Nicely modded mk4 1.8t, I decided it was time for a return to the GTI, with the mk5 which i had fancied from the day it was released.
My must have list for the GTI was pretty short, with only standard tartan seats and AC, so this meant that i could have a totally minted unmarked 36k, late 06 plate, black, poverty spec GTI for just under £12k with a 2 year warranty !
Anyhoo, my first impressions of the golf were it looked good but sat far too high, it was also a nice place to be, very comfortable and Brilliant to drive, cornering and performance were alot better than i expected and i did expect them to be good.
So it was looking good for a place to start my most extensive project yet.
LET THE MODS ROLL IN
First on will be my 18" Monza 2s which have been painted smoked chrome with a black background !
These have already been fitted with spanking new Centre caps ill get a few pics up with them on the car Soon!
