Hi all, this is my second mk5, the first I did nothing to , however since that I've had a few other cars but none I've enjoyed as much as the golf so I went and test drove the GT and I just loved it, enough power for childish moments, comfortable and I liked the interior!
My First MK5...On to the GT...The spec as I purchased it:
170 BHP Turbo engine
Standard Headunit
Heated Leather interior & Arm Rest
GT Classix wheels
Rear Cup Holders
Dimming Rear View Mirror
I am quite happy to point out the head unit only took around 45 mins to fit and was waiting for me upon my return with the car
The shopping list grows daily...eBay and Performance VW magazines being a deadly thing - So far its roughly as follows:
Touchscreen Head Unit - Done!
Refurb & Powdercoat wheels - Done!
GTI honeycomb lower grill - Done!
Fit GTI grill - Done!
Pressed/tin plates - Done!
GTI Sideskirts - Done!
GT Seat Inlays - Done!
K&N Panel Filter - Done!
Lowering Springs - Done!
Cruise Control - Done!
Multifunction Steering Wheel - Done!
Polo Aerial - Done!
Tint windows
Black headlights
Speed line/CH rep wheels
GTI Boot Spoiler
Backbox Delete
I'll probably get those done first, as well as try and sort a few scratches etc but it'll get there over time!

My first ever attempted at polishing a car!I've never polished a car before, none of the others seemed to need it however, being a black car, I thought it might help. Trolling through YouTube to give me a few ideas on where to start I grabbed some bits and Turtlewax's Black polish and set to work, I was doing by hand.
Pre-clean
I quite like the metallic paint, looked much better after the polish
I liked the fact I could see my reflection, should have taken the photo before I polished the rear door though...
Polish on the roof, could probably do with tighter circular motions next time...
Done...
Thought it wasn't bad for my first attempt...will get better with practice. Any hints or tips on polishing would be more than welcome!
I'll update this thread with the mods as I go on...thanks for looking!
