Hi all,
I've been away from GTI's for a while since i sold my old Steel Grey GTI in order to fund an R32 purchase after having always wanted one:
My old GTI
My old R32
After getting the R32, i realised how good the GTI was/is. I really didn't get on with the R32 at all and after having wanted one for so long, was a huge disappointment. A few other things have followed since:
2007 BMW 320d M Sport
2007 Honda Civic Type R
2007 Audi A3 2.0 TDI
But i just couldn't settle with any of them, so i was back on the hunt for another GTI, and i found a beaut!!
A 2007 Golf GTI with the DSG box in Graphite Blue!! Has done a few miles but has a complete service history, cambelt was done 1,500 miles ago and DSG service was done in December and has been done at VW intervals.
Has a nice list of options including xenons, heated leather, 18 inch monzas (which have been freshly powdercoated), MFD2, highline display, MFSW, parking sensors and ipod connection.
I bought the car off a chap who bought it last year from a local prestige dealer and they had done a huge amount of prep work prior to sale, the paintwork is absolutely immaculate and the interior looks like it has done half the actual mileage.
I wasn't 100% on the colour before i went to see it but it's absoutely stunning in person.
All in all, very very pleased to be back in a GTI and the DSG box is superb, very easy to cruise around in and superb when pushing on. Will certainly do until i can put an order in for a MK7.5/8 or whatever is around in a couple of years time.
Have bought a couple of bits for it so far, panel filter, R8 coils and stuck some wind defelectors on. May look at a Powervalve this year but won't be doing too much else. Got a few cleaning bits coming this week so will be giving it a good clean and sealant at the weekend and will get some more pictures up.
Thanks for looking!!
Tom
