Title: The Golf From Finland // K9
Post by: K9 on October 25, 2015, 08:15:25 pm

Hey guys. i'm a little rusty with this "built thread" so go easy on me and tell me whats left out and what to do to improve my thread :)
will start with some basic specs the car had when i bought it.

2005
Tornado red best colour  :innocent: :happy2:
69.000km guess that will be around 40.000 miles?
5d
pretty basic stuff like rcd500
non-mfsw
halogen headlights
17" bbs monza
16" some Taiwan winter wheels

to much talking, so here are some pics when i bought it in 2014

drove the gti for a cuple of weeks and thought that i went to the local VW and gave it a health check and oil change plus all airfilter + dsg oil change.
After that i decided to remove the black bumpers and send them to be colourcoded.
