Hello mk5golfgti.co.uk
« on: December 14, 2011, 10:33:53 am »
I recently joined the site as i've been looking for a mk5 after selling my van.

I own and run a detailing business, some may have heard of www.getpolished.co.uk and www.getpolishedshop.co.uk

I was told to join up by cooper who used to own a grey mk5 gti on RH's, stunning car and the reason why i wanted one in the first place.

May as well start with some cars from the past as i guess it'll tell the story of me

the 1st mk2



the 2nd (which stayed only very briefly)



the 3rd which went from this



to this in about 2 days work



the 2nd returns for some unfinished business



and the 4th still in ownership but up for sale now



and my van which went the journey after not really needing it anymore as most clients come to me now.





which then brings me on to the new purchase.  I've already added my first touch with the yellow fogs and plate, but ill get up a build thread to continue the progress with this one.... i have to say though im bloody loving it.



see you all again soon.

Phil

Hey up Phil. I got two cars that have had your magic touch on them.
Am loving the mk5 but somewhat wish I'd gotten the edition30 instead
Hopefully JohnBFT can help breathe a bit o life into it in the new year tho  :notworthy:


GTi in the fastest colour...........
