GTI Newbie
« on: July 03, 2014, 01:58:14 pm »
Hey guys, had my GTI for a couple of weeks now. Had her checked over by local specialists RK Engineering and its all good! (Apart from temp sensor and knackard AC)!  She's a standard magic black 3 door, 54 (2005) with 74k on the clock and lots of VAG stamps in the book :happy2:
Planning to do a good polish this weekend....maybe have a go at sanding/polishing the headlights too....will post some pics when she's gleeming!
Its nice to be able to go round corners again, my old passat wagon handled like a boat!

Cheers bud. Guna keep her standard I think, maybe one or two OEM mods. Got lots of bits and bobs to do to make her minty! Ask again in a couple of months and I'll probably be thinking about a cheeky remap!

Right, she's had a quick polish....



I ran out of time on the front grills, only did the top one, mainly because I decided to start by sanding the headlights!

Tidy GTi, on the look out for one just like it to be fair.  Looking to do the same as you, get a standard car and keep it pretty much the same except for bits and pieces here and there.

Cheers mate. Yeh, I really respect the guys who go all out on the mods, the attention to detail can be awsome, but for me, being lazy and having no patience I decided to keep it simple! Plus the mk5's pretty good as standard!

Nice GTI, I had to do a double take when I saw your plate too!  Would be a GREAT plate to have registered.
