New GTI Owner
« on: January 23, 2012, 02:35:16 pm »
Hey all, just bought myself a 07 plate Golf GTi in reflex silver yesterday, pick it up Wednesday after a few months saving.
I went from a 05 plate polo 1.2, to this beasty  :jumping: It's only my second car as I'm just turning 22, but I'm looking forward to the adventure :D

I'll get some pics up once I collect it  :happy2:

Cheers guys :D

I don't plan on anything yet, need to save more money up again haha, though I think the first thing will be a cosmetic change to the rear bumper so it's colour coded sorta like the 30 edition... After that who knows  :evilgrin:

Hey guys just a quick question, I'm going to have the rear bumper colour coded probably next week.... Should I leave the bumper textured and get it sprayed over it or ask them to smooth it first?

Cheers

Good man. It'll look odd otherwise. When I fitted my R32 rear I has the side skirts and front splitter smoothed and painted. Well worth the wait  :party:

I'd love to get the side skirts and front splitter done, but don't have the cash at the moment after buying the car  :sad1:

£120 smoothed and coloured, though im leaving the part near the exhaust black
