My Gt140 little update! August 2012
« on: July 30, 2012, 09:29:06 pm »
Hey everyone, Just thought i would upload a few photos of my new MK5 GTTDI. I eventually sold my MK4 and thought about nothing else apart from a MK5, although deciding between petrol and diesel took me forever :confused: Anyway here are a few photos before i do anything.






Thanks

Have you thought about what type of wheels to go for? The R32 spoke wheels would look well on you car,
 i'm not to sure of the excat name, they must have about 20 thin spokes

Here's a pic i took of google

just my thoughts

Thanks guys  :smiley: ... Yeah it was either this or a blue GT170.. Decided on this as the body work was in alot better condition and fewer miles.

This is my first black car, alot of people have said they are a nightmare to keep clean, My MK4 was silver and wasnt that bad.
