Hi - Just bought GTI
« on: March 05, 2012, 09:50:42 pm »
I'm in absolute love, came from a 110 PD and a 130 PD MK4 over from UKMKIVS. Traded in and took a MK5 3 Door GTI and I'm the second owner from new.

Very chuffed.

Couple of pictures.






Not looking into any serious Mods as want to stay OEM.

Looking at adding

Cruise
Arm Rest
upgrading CD player to MP3 (Any about, give me a shout?)



Looking for a Drivers side mat as well as needing to clean up the tailpipes which are rusty.


Have a few Q's I need to ask, so will do those in correct sections.

Speak soon.

Very much so, it's not as ruthless as the 130PD which was mapped to 164bhp. But the power is a lot more smooth and the GTI exhaust sounds amazing. I took it for a blast around a local industrial park, as it was empty after 6 and I'm still beaming now, I can point it and it'll take me, utterly superb handling compared to my Mk4.

I think along with the Cruise and Armrest, I want to upgrade the brakes as well.

What are the standard size 288mm and if they are, would 312mm fit in my standard wheels with bigger carriers?
