Awright chaps, Its DaveB1970 from uk-mkivs in the main, treated myself to a big spec 56 plate Gti 3dr last November.

DSG, Pearl Black, Anthracite Leather, Winter Pack, MFD2, Cruise, MFSW, Full DIS.

Mods to Date

19" Helios Alloys with Conti Sport 2 235/35/19 Tyres
"GTI" brushed steel seat inserts - £15 off ebay - best mod ever

Planned Mods
Xenons
RNS510
Full Bluetooth

For those that recognise the username from uk-mkivs, some of you may or not be aware that Brake upgrades are something Im into in a big way, Im ashamed to say the brakes on my car are standard, just cant get around to upgrading them as Im too busy with other sorting out BBK's for others!

Will get around to it, got ECS Stage V,  RS4 (B7 & B5!), GT3 RS, V10 Carrera GT, F360, R32, 996 Turbo, DB9S all more or less ready to fit to my Mk5 . The Helios rims are great with most of these kits fitting with no spacers - just cant decide, plus the 312's are very very good much better than the R32 brakes I had on my mk4

If I can get away from work I'm going to pop my show cherry this year, I fly commercially as a Job so getting planned weekends free can be a big hassle - but Im determined!

Some pics



Hmmmmmmm decisions



My daily drive, No front brakes only rears! 12 Carbon Discs, 32 pistons, 3000psi, £200,000 to replace, 12 tonnes to 0mph from 140mph in 800 metres

Thanks for the warm welcome, uk-mkivs will always feel like home but spending a couple of hours reading on here today was really good - stacks of good relevant stuff - should keep me busy, can see me switching teams!!!!

Was very lucky with the wheels - guy had these as a "spare" set to his others, couldn't believe it! had to talk him into parting with them - I like them cos they look like Monty II's on steroids!!!!
