Morning guys.
The GTI was owned for 4 years and had thousands spent making it a show queen, with a bit of power as well. Loved it, but with 40 mile a day commute the GTI wasn't practical so decided I'd taken it as far as I could and stripped it back and sold it on.
Build thread for it here:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,7427.525.htmlStarted buying parts for my new car as early as March this year, and after many a stressful day searching the car sale sites found this one:

Was after black or grey, never been keen on the white, blue, or green, or silver really, but I had a tight budget so had to settle for this, it's been well looked after. 89000 miles though, but panaramic sunroof, 18" wheels, newer steering wheel/airbag, and new style dash gauge, also the RCD510 with 6 CD changer, and reversing sensors (which I really didn't want as think it spoils the look of the rear bumper, but already quite a fan!) This one has a full service history, and has already had the cambelt changed.
So got it home yesterday, and within 2 hours had started the mini mods already:

If any of you follow me on instagram (big_al1982)
You will see that I have xenons, airride, recaro CS' race seats, RS3 brakes, and numerous other bits and pieces ready and waiting for next years show season.
Plenty more to come though.
