Jacks mk5 Tornado Red GTI

[Pagejack]

Hi I'm new to the forum so thought I'd start abit of a thread on the progress of my car.

This is my first vw after previously owing a civic ep3 type r and integra dc5 type r.



I picked it up Wednesday and have to say am extremely pleased with how smooth the ride is and the power, even though it's the same bhp as the hondas I'm not used to having torque so the power delivery is fantastic!.

The golfs details are as follows
-2006 With 61k
-DSG
-3 door
-Tornado red
Here's a couple of pics from the garage




The garage had 3 golfs but this seemed to seem to have a couple of nice extras such as heated seats, puddle lights in the wing mirrors & uprated kenwood headunit which swayed me towards this one.

Having my brother work for TPS has proven rather beneficial the last couple of days have purchased the following
- genuine new interior trim (door handles , heater vents, head unit surround)
- genuine golf embroided floor mats
- carbon paddle shift extenders (ebay)
- genuine edition 30 rear splitter

I have a few plans for the car but need to wait for next pay day now!

I'll post some pics when my bits arrive (should be tomorrow) 

This looks a great forum and look forward to having a look through other peoples builds.

Thanks
Jack

My new interior trim, and edition 30 rear splitter arrived today.



Im looking forward to getting the rear splitter painted, thinking colour coded top half and gloss black bottom to break it up a little.

Poped the carbon paddle extenders on also

So the not spending on it went great today and ended up doing a 6 hour round trip to pick up some edition 30 wheels.

Good condition on the whole and came up for the right money.







They were in need of a good wash down and started to seal them with poor boys wheels sealant.

I got my brother to grab me x4 new centre caps and new wheel bolt covers

Clean example you have found. Good mods so far. Look forward to some more pics once its all fitted

Looking good so far mate. This is exactly how mine started, I said I wouldn't do much because I spent all my money on the car and have been throwing money at it for the last 3 years 

I think colour coded and gloss black on the splitter will look bang on.

Lol yeh that's it mate, the local lads laugh as every car I have 'im not touching this one'  but it always seems to have money spent on it somewhere .

I'll try find your thread and have a look through, might grab some tips from you lol

Cheers again

£270 mate, bit pricey  if I'm honest but I despise that black rear bumper lol

[6waysforward]

Looking good fella.

[SurreyED30]
