Hello there I bought my golf last Saturday and i love it, I'm pretty new to the vag scene only ever having a mk4 20vt , a skoda octy Vrs then a seat Leon Cupra r 225.... I was looking for a edition 30 at first but after a lot Of thought and several discussions with her in doors we decided on changing her car too so A portion of the car money pot was taking away, only leaving me around £7000 including my px so a gti it was... Ironically we bought the mrs a mk5 gt Tdi 140 ...
The car I bought was the highest spec I could find and being a one owner car it was the one for me..
Factory spec includes
18" monza wheels
Xenon head light with auto level and wash
Mfsw
Cruise control
Dual zone climate control
Heated seats
Leather seats
Electric lumber
Premium sound
Mfd 2 sat navigation

6 disc changer
Highline dash..
Blue glass

Things I have done to it..
Eibach lowering springs
Superpro lower engine mount bushes
Pipewerx 3" turbo down pipe and De cat
Bcs 3" exhaust
Evoms intake
R32 style rear bumper with gti exhaust exit
R-tech custom stage 2 map 276.4 bhp and 335.84  lbft
Hero wind deflecters
Retro fitted rns510
Arm rest mdi kit
Gti seat inserts
Full service
New diverter valve
New pcv
New plugs.

I have some rs3 brembo calipers and 370 mm Discs to fit along with new rear discs and pads to fit.
Also on bentley wheels but just bought some lovely competitive mo'6

My next plans are to replace a tired air con rad and a S3 intercooler,.a hpfp then a beach buggy hybrid turbo..

It was actually from eBay... £139.99 plus £19.99 postage.. Really happy with it, a lights mike over the reflectors really helped as they were very on your face... Just bought a evoms intake for it.. And as soon as the down pipe and de cat are fitted then a map by r tech I think

Thanks mate it's a good base to start,, the springs are sort lines and I think they lower a none gti golf 45 or 50mm so a drop on a gti of around 25 mm.. The ride is amazing and I'm glad I paid the extra for a good quality spring not cheap crashy ones...
