Tornado GTI - new carbon
« on: July 10, 2012, 10:31:58 pm »
Right, folks. The A3 has gone and I've moved on...
So I've returned to a GTI
Spec is 3 door manual, 42k miles, 18" monzas, leather recaros, MFSW, highline, winter pack, parking sensors, armrest, iPod connection in glove.
Almost no photos as I was planning getting it polished up before posting but the weather's not having it.


Appologies for the truly pants pics will post up more once it's looking more presentable
comments welcome
Scott

I had a 2.0 TDI Sportback. Wanted back in a petrol, and kinda did all that I wanted to the Audi.

i know the feeling, iv never had a proper performance petrol, but i used to have a little 1.6 fiesta zetec-s which was fair nippy and very fun to throw round corners, i now have a mk5 1.9tdi which is boorrriinnnggg! waiting to change insurance company then i get go for a GTI next year i think!  :driver:

what made you go for the mk5 over the A3 2.0Tfsi tho?

i personally prefer and adore the mk5 gti over pretty much most other cars on the road  :grin:

I'm kinda the same, simply prefer the look of the GTi. Also driven an A3 2.0t quattro and didn't rate it compared to the Golf.
Plan on chamging the wheels, lower it for sure and change the rear lights then we'll see what else after that.

Finally got her cleaned up. Sealed with Blackfirewax - only wax I had that was suitable for darker colours, was that or poorboys natty paste wax.
Anyway - took just the one pic. Can't wait to change the rear lights!
