Title: My Mk5 GTI Dream!
Post by: Gtiene on February 21, 2016, 08:15:49 pm
Hello all,

My names Mohamed, been after a mk5 gti since ages but couldn't make the commitment (insurance fuel bills etc) droe a 1.2 Clio for a 5 years and February 6th this year I took the dip! ( my brother in law played a huge part in convincing me to get a mk5 instead of a BMW) I work for the Sytner Group in Leicester ( got a really really good deal on the car as an employee) and the perfect car came up at one of our sites, previous owner part exchanged it for a jag/LR - car was prepped and it caught my eye, rang the dealer selling it and deposited straight away, initially I was unaware to a few mods already done but when I went to see the car with my BIL @shoaybmakda (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=12148) we noticed it had a Miltek exhaust fitted, a few interior mods and potential remap ( not confirmed till I rolling road it, I have come from a 1.2 Clio so might just be that) this added to my excitement, all formalities done drive away and ere I I'm 3 weeks later living the dream, few piks of the car added below! If anyone recognises the reg and knows or any previous owners I would love to have a chat with them! Also, if you in and around the Leic area and want to meet up more then welcome love a good petrolhead chat!  :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :driver: :signLOL:

Welcome to the forum fella!

I heard from Shoayb when you went down to purchase the car - he told me all about it and how excited you were.

It seems you've bagged a really decent motor with some nice mods already done.

We need to arrange a mini meet. I have a Tornado red GTI and bought Shoayb's old Monzas.

I have RetroRaz coming to mine on Saturday 5th March in Nottingham if you two are interested in a mini-meet???

We have different coloured cars so would make a nice photoshoot: Red, White, Blue, Black......

@rashg60 - Thanks, haha he's been telling me about yourself and raz, would be really nice to meet you guys :)

Saturday 5th sounds good to me,   I might pop down I'll confirm with him closer to the time so he can let you know!

@maxitrol - thank you! Really pleased with it in practically the perfect spec bar xenons but what's a GTi without any mods to do :0)

@prp74 - Thanks! And so far none at all it's simply the perfect all rounder in my opinion.

Nice purchase, looks like a great base for mods.

@Gtiene (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=15282) welcome to the forum finally! You also got a kufatec fiscon but if anyone can help out finding out what the potentials are with that would be a big help!

@rashg60 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11930) the 5th sounds good hopefully we won't FLOP this time  :signLOL:
