New Mk5 GTI DSG owner here
« on: November 13, 2010, 09:27:38 pm »
Hi all,

Have been registered on here for a few months now but finally got round to posting in the newbie section. Previously had a Reflex silver MK4 GTI AUM engine. Great car and with a remap was even better but decided to move up to a MK5 and had to be a DSG version and so glad I chose it, loving the DSG its surprisingly smooth and super quick and with the paddles its like playing a racing game at the arcade lol.

I picked the car up from a VW dealer, totally standard with the 17 inch alloys. Second week I had it I had started modifying it lol

Got some BBS CH reps and had the front spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper colour coded. I personally think it looks 10 times better like that.

Will get before and after pics up as soon as ( hopefully tomorrow )

Does anyone go to the VAG meet at Ace Cafe in West London ?

Cheers Paul
