Shadow blue R32
« on: October 06, 2015, 07:14:56 pm »
Hi all, just bought an R32 to replace my gti (in the for sale section).

I bought it as really i needed a 5 door and after the amount of work i put in to my gti I couldn't bring myself to buy a 5 door or an ED30 and just have to to all the same things all over again so if i was changing my car I'd get some thing different (as far as staying in the mk5 platform would allow obv).

84k
mot until 4th Jan 2015
5 door
shadow blue
leather
winter pack
DSG
refurbed wheels

Plans
The car has a lot of service but the latest DSG/Haldex service needs to be done, as well as new center caps, cap over wiper arm, replacement tail light bulb and a good clean.

Lastly I think the V6 cries out for miltek exhaust and for some reason it has base model rear lights... maybe a previous owner sold them on...

Anyway here are some pics, ill get some better ones once its clean with a couple bits sorted on it.













Old skool nokia handsfree!

And the MPG I'e got to get used to!

I have a real soft spot for the R32 in that colour apparently.

EDIT* And I think I actually prefer the look of the front without front fogs... looks real clean

Cheers guys, got the dsg and haldex service booked in for tomorrow

Vw wanted to chage me 179 for dsg and 65 for haldex so 244 in total

Local 'posh' specialist wanted 268, told them ill go vw and they matched their price, which is good for me as its much more convenient for me getting lift in to work
