Thanks Hurdy, i read about that MKVI that Awesome have converted in Golf+ magazine reckon they could have had 400bhp if the car was the right colour, as Greenouse has said  :laugh: :laugh:


In the fastest colour too!  :jumpmove:

Hey Skavia, trust yours is running well on a diet of V Power now after the RR day in Surrey :wink:

Thanks Nick :drinking:

Willl go for a remap, zorst and panel filter to begin with, saving my pennies now so i can get it all done at once.  Want to get bluetooth fitted as well. :happy2:  oh and the reversing camera looks like it will make it onto the list.

Promise to put some photos up on wednesday when i get back home from picking the car up, might be late though :evilgrin:

the zorst is the biggest expense and i would say stage 1 might be enough for a bit anyway. dont think i noticed a big difference with stage 2.  need to get it on the rollers really to see what gains i have certainly not the massive leap up to stage 1, im hoping the HPFP and intake im getting will help me notice a bit more power  :evilgrin:

and i'd love a sunroof anyone know where i can get one?!   :chicken:

when i was looking, was good to see even early ed30 5 door dsg's going for minimum £17200!!.Lots of 3 door manuals for around 15k. Dsg and 5 door seem to ask a higher price.
Good news. Wonder what id get since i payed £18250 2 years ago and 25000 less miles

Prices seem to be holding up, dealer i did the deal at yesterday said there is a 6 - 7 month delivery time on new MK6 GTI's and this is keeping up prices on new used MK6 GTI's and High spec MK5's.

Skavia,

It's supposed to be a slippery slope not a bl**dy base jump  :signLOL: :signLOL:

Cheers Wigit, took inspiration from your garage (two vag family FTW)  :wink:
