My MKV TDI
« on: October 16, 2011, 03:26:42 pm »
Bought myself a mk5 TDI after a year of wanting one and 4 months of looking for a clean one in my price range,

Owned it for 6 weeks now and im over the moon with it, its a 55 plate 5 door in silver.

I picked it up with 73k, FVWSH, and not a mark anywhere on it its literally immaculate,

I got the car for 4500 but it was due a cambelt and service and has a split pipe on the turbo which has all been sorted now,  i also got some genuine s-line wheels for free which i had pwdercoated black.

Progress will be slow on this as i have a baby due next month and im only 21 so i dont earn and amazing wage :(.

Anyway pics:

Before:



Now:







Excuse any spelling mistakes im posting from my iphone and its a twat to type at the best of times

Welcome to another sooty driver but don't expect a small wage and a baby being due to stop you spending on here :smiley:

John

hi there mate, and welcome.

you've got some awesome plans, car should look good when it's done! as above, a small wage won't hold you back joining this place. i've only been here a month and spent £820

not meaning to shamelessly plug but i've got some Eddy wheels for sale atm  :signLOL:

take care,
