Definately 18's as mark said but its the winter pack its got heated seats and headlamps washers and heated washer jets and low washer fluid warning.  I would say its a bit expensive at that although you will always over pay at a main dealer.


5Dr Black GTI, DSG, Leather, Xenons. Retrofitted - Cruise, RNS 510, MFSW, Armrest, Skoda BT, 6cd changer, Monza II's, VW speaker upgrade kit, Lux pack, High-line, new CAN gateway, Polar FIS info display, R32 tinted rear lights, RVC

To Come...NQSBBK, highline CCM.

I like the reassurance of buying from a main dealer. If I was to, do you think I could bargain them down a good bit. Extras always adds to the price confusion.

Went to see the car tonight. No test drive though. It is a sweet beast. Would love to get it though it would probably be a bit of a stretch. Will have to get a bigger deposit and hopefully more of these come onto the market over the summer.

Does seem expensive, it does have the 18" Monza II's though, heated seats, headlight washers....I think that means it has a Lux Pack

Heated seats and headlight washers would indicate winter pack (if no xenons or leather seats)  :happy2:

The car is definitely over-priced, a lot better out their on the market.

Just another quick one. What is the deal with the tartan seats. Are they extra when buying the car. Love them!

Tartan seats are standard in a mk5

People paid to upgrade them to leather  :happy2:

Their is also the Pirelli version of the MK5 which has a tyre mark over the seats (easiest way to spot) but these hold their value really well !

Cheers BritishLion. Would love a Pirelli, but since I can barely manage to buy an average GTI I don't think there is much chance of that lol

You might struggle to find one with a good spec over here in N.ireland,I know I did so ended up getting one from England.
Dont rush it but keep looking and something will maybe come up.Get one with DSG if you can stretch to it,you wont regret it.

I agree, we don't have the same variety here and prices tend to be a little higher than on the mainland.  Take your time and the right one will come up though, I found mine in Prentice BMW Portadown where it had been traded in.

Shocking how Agnews got that advert so wrong :laugh:
