Good day one and all.. New member with GT Sport TDI
« on: December 06, 2011, 07:58:42 am »
So, I've been a member on here for a little while before purchasing my new daily. I must say this is a fantastic source of information for all things mk5/6, it has been a big help to me in my search  :congrats:

So basic spec of my car

Purchased just 3 weeks ago

2008 '58' GT Sport TDI 170 DPF
Reflex Silver Metallic, 3dr
18" Charlestones, Michelin Pilot 225/40/18
Climate, Sunroof, Midline, Armrest, Usual GT Sport Interior (Black dash trims etc)
Dark headlights
Fully Colour Coded

Mods already done

New number plates
Bottle opener (old style all metal one)
Short Aerial Whip
Vmaxx Coilovers

Mods in the pipeline

MFSW (GTI Flat bottom)
Cruise (have stalk already)
Ipod in armrest
RCD 510
MK6 GTD/GTI Seats
DPF Delete & Remap
Winter Wheels & Tyres
Big Brakes (Prob R32 or S3)

I dont want to do too much to the body as IMO its a great looking car as it is  :wink:

Thanks buddy  :happy2:

Can anyone tell me what my post count needs to be so that I can reply to threads on the forum, and send/receive PM's?

I want to buy an Ipod kit off demon666 but cannot reply to his threads nor PM him... Thanks  :smiley:

So here she is...

already ditched the charlestons for some phat 5's with 225/40/18 Falken Winter Tyres and fitted the coils  :laugh:



Think the back just needs lifting a smidge, coils only fitted yesterday so wanted to leave them to settle for a day or two

What do we reckon?
