New member - South Wales
« on: August 09, 2011, 11:37:04 am »
Morning all.

My names Ellis. I'm 22 years old and live in a small town called Abergavenny, about 35mins from Cardiff in South Wales. I've had a few previous cars but my most recognisable has to be my 'euro' style Fast Car featured Citroen C2. Here are a few pics of it, followed by my new ride :) Please be kind ;)  :ashamed:







and a shot of my ugly mug to finish it off....


Anyway enough of that car. time for the new ride. As you can see i don't really do things by halfs. I went out and bought myself a Mk5 Golf GTI in candy white with a DSG gearbox. Love it soo much that i haven't even thought about missing the C2. Here's a few pictures... Picking it up..


After i gave it a full detail

as it stands...



And the new Carbon steering wheel post i ordered from the states.

My favourite pic so far.


I've also just ordered a US spec GTI rear bumper.... Got the top bit just waiting for the bottom section to be delivered to VW then i can think about fitting. I'll start a build thread later on this evening when i get chance :D

Comments & Critisicm welcome.

Ellis ;)  :popcornsoda:
