Thought I'd start my build thread since I'm starting to do more to the car now, that I said I wasn't going to do!
Moved over from a MK4 a couple months ago, this was it:
Loved the car, just fancied something else. So started looking around at MK5's and eventually found one I liked with decent miles and a good spec which is as follows:
2006 3 door GTI Black Magic LC9Z
64k miles
18 inch Monza's,
Bilstien suspension,
BCS turbo back exhaust,
Polar FIS Advanced+,
Full heated leather,
RNS510,
Power folding mirrors,
Climate control,
Highline display,
Multifunction steering wheel,
Bluetooth,
iPod,
Auto mirrors and wipers,
Boot popper
So a couple of days later took it out in the sun for some photos:
The paint defects had always quite annoyed me and being black were even more noticable, so I got myself a Meguiars G220 V2 to do some correction, here are a couple before and after shots.

After:
Still needs going over the whole car as just haven't had a chance to get anything done with the dual action but will get round to it. Bonnet is pretty much done though!
Then my parents bought a MK5 R32 which is also very well spec'd and the sound is sooooo good
Then got some GTI inserts for the seats, very good finish and fit!

After:
Sun was out the other day so after finally purchasing an AutoBrite HD Snow foam lance decided to have a good wash!
Gave cleaning my exhaust a go too, I didn't think it would be possible to really clean it up but the difference when you look at the whole car is pretty big, still want to spend a little more time on it but much better!

And that's where I'm at now. I've got a couple big things waiting to be delievered with regards to suspension so hopefully get them fitted at some point soon!
Cheers
