Hello,
I've been reading this forum for months now but never got around to posting my hello. I was waiting to take a nice picture for you all to see but the car is never clean enough!! So instead I've taken a couple of shots of it tucked up in the garage.
As you can see it is a standard 200bhp 5 door GTI with 18 inch Monza II's and 6 CD changer/armrest. I've owned it for 3 years now (but only recently discovered this forum).
Thanks to the helpful how to guide on this forum I have already upgraded the radio with an RNS510 Rev C (plus associated CAN gateway) and I am currently in the process of purchasing markymark's reversing camera. LED tail's next!?!
I bought the car second-hand from a car supermarket, they told me it was an ex-lease car hired to the Ministry of Defence! I'm inclined to believe them because their is a German dealer stamp in the service book for some recall work and I know the UK still have army bases in Germany. The car supermarket had another GTi and an R32 bought from the same lease company for sale when I bought mine and the salesman told me they regularly buy and sell these ex-MoD cars - I'm sure the MoD would be better off spending our taxes on body armour for the troops in Afghanistan.
