Yes it is, its going to be swapped off soon as its getting given back, its 57 plate. It possibly might of been on here and at shows. Dont have much plans for it other than keeping it to its high level of condition which the previous keeper kept it!

Looks brilliant in white. Almost took the plunge on one myself (though not an Ed)

Kind of wish I had of done sometimes, black is a bit dull..

Yes I spent 4 and half years looking for a change from the seat  :P. I tend to keep cars for a long time, this is my first turbo petrol and my 3rd car since I passed at 17 (now 24). Love it and Its probably going to stay with me for good :)

Fantastic looking car - welcome.

What mods have been done to it already? Looks sweet.

Any future plans for it?

White and red - the best colours in the MK5 GTi.

I'm sure it'll bring you many years of joy.

I actually bought my first MK5 GTi in March this year and usually only keep cars for a year before shifting them on. But I think I'm gonna be with this for many years to come. I'm always looking for excuses to drive it. Just worried about the mileage with that though. It's currently done 64k so not too bad.

What do you think of the exhaust system - that is something I am currently looking to upgrade. The BCS system has been highly recommended but it expensive so need a few opinions.

Mines a manual version, which I prefer. I've always been unsure about the DSG gearbox.

I looked forward to the dsg and i like it so far, the exhaust system sounds the part like. Has a nice note and isnt too loud. On the motorway you cant even hear it like
