Hello from Somerset!
« on: March 19, 2012, 11:04:12 am »
Hello

I recently joined the forum after purchasing my first VAG car (I have a history of Italian cars [Alfa 147, Punto mk.1 GT]).

I’ve bought a 55 plate, manual 3-door GTI in blue (shadow blue is it?)

I’ve been doing some forum lurking and searches, and it seem you guys known your stuff. One thing I have ascertained is that there isn’t many things on this car that are simple!

I’ve got an RNS510, which is great, but no Ipod/Aux hookup, which will have to be sorted. I don’t have a manual/handbook either (for the car or stereo), so that will have to be sorted!

I’m based in mid Somerset and work in the Bristol area – I think a Stg 1 remap will be on the cards at some point, but have read some comments that the clutch on the manual might not like that idea....

As you can see from the pic, I don’t have the standard wheels fitted. I like the wheels I’ve got, but think I’m really in the market for 18” Monza II (anyone interested in a swap?!), not sure what brand the ones I have are though, don’t recognise the name.

Anyway, just saying hello really!
