Hi, new member here but certainly not new to Volkswagens. In my time I've had 8 mk2 Golf GTIs 2 mk3 GTIs and a mk4 GT Tdi with a few Audis thrown in too most recently an A8 which I've just sold to buy this car.
Right, after the wee intro, onto the car in question. It's a 2007 GTI with fsh and a few mods which include, cat back custom stainless exhaust, panel filter, eibachs, carbon mirror covers, carbon grill, laminexed fogs, gloss back skirts and rear bumper, an alpine head unit that controls iPod/phone through the steering wheel controls, and a 12" sub n amp in the boot. It pulls very well and has a rolling road print out of 235bhp and 239lbft of torque. I'll be looking to remap it in the near future and may well just jump to stage 2
As with nearly any 6 year old car it isn't perfect but it's clean and tidy and drives absolutely spot on.
There's a few styling modifications that aren't to my taste but that gives me the opportunity to put my own stamp on the car. These being the gloss black parts that I'll be colour coding tornado red and the front plate possition which I've already rectified.
Anyway enough talk, here's some pics.
As I got the car, it's a bit dirty as I'd been out in the rain last night and not washed it yet.
I wasn't keen in the slightest on the possition of the numberplate so done the sensible thing and removed it
Took it out for a run and snapped a few better pics
Plans are to sort out the gloss black bit as I'm not keen on them, change the wheels for a set of 18s replace the drivers seat back material as the bolsters a bit worn and then remap it.
Must admit I'm happy with it tho. The guy I bought it from is a vw mechanic it wants for nothing mechanicaly and it's had oil changes every 7k miles under his ownership.
That's it for now although I'm not usually one for hanging about with doing bits n bobs to my cars so I'll keep this updated as I go.
Cheers
Gregor
