Golf Mk5 GTI 3dr Tornado Red
« on: November 17, 2012, 02:42:50 am »
Finally got myself a proper motor. Still got the mk3 tdi as the daily. Left it into Big Pete at PMG Autocare, Ballyclare, Northern Ireland last week for a one day paint enhancement, top job!
A week later it was stinking so cleaned it this morning and applied a coat of Dodo Juice Orange Crush which I think does wonders for tornado red.
Plans are 18'' Monza II's and that's pretty much it, maybe coilovers down the line.
Couple of nice mods came on it, Custom cat back stainless system, remap to 240bhp and its lowered slightly on springs.
What you's think?

Hi I payed £155 for them + £9.60 delivery.  Took about 7 days to come by DHL.  At 6pm every Friday, the prices drop lower again until Sunday night, that's how I got mine so cheap.  Got some cleaning stuff aswell and was still charged £9.60 all in for delivery, well chuffed.

As for right hand drive I believe they can be changed from Left to right as there is a small allignment type switch that says R on one side and L on the other.  Hope this answers your question.  They are still there here is the link
