Hi all,

Picked up my MK5 Gti 3dr manual in black yesterday.

Joined the forum recently and enjoyed reading all the info on the site.

Thanks,

Phil

I'm really happy with the car so far. Paint needs a bit of TLC and am tempted to ask for a DA polisher for xmas and set to work on it when the weather drys up. Constantly caked in mud at the moment due to living down country lanes!

Will be servicing it in the New Year, can't decided whether to do it myself or take it to a local specialist (seems you don't get much for your money in a service)

Thanks for looking.

Welcome...

That's a smart motor.

The country lanes are a PITA that's for sure!

As for the servicing, that garage stamp is all important on the service book

Thanks guys, I'm really happy with it.

Saving pennies at the moment, there are a few things i want to do in the new year,
- full service
- detail it (paint is full of swirls)
- Thinking R-Tech stage 1
- new headunit

I'm not certain yet. Was going to research it further in the new year. At present I want to keep the car pretty standard.

Thanks @KieranR
