MK5 Golf GTI

Hi all,

Figured after a month of ownership I'd start my members rides thread to add to as the months go by!

So far, I've done the following:

LED sidelights, number plate lights and puddle lights

SuperPro Anti-lift kit (with Hunter wheel alignment) - very impressed with the difference this made to the steering feel and handling

Mintex rear pads (maintenance requirement rather than a deliberate mod)

Pressed metal number plates

Next up:

Full service with brake fluid change

Front discs and pads - recommendations welcome here, was thinking grooved discs...

The car came with a high spec including Lux pack, Winter pack, MFD2 sat nav, tints, iPod connectivity, MFSW and Parrot bluetooth. One owner from new and full VW history. Manual box.

A few pics of how she is now:

Posing next to my mate's M3:

Looking really good there mate ! Where in Wales you from then ?
You want a set of R32 brakes on there. Set in the for sale section ! 

Chris.

Nice mate about time us welshies had a meet

Cheers.  

I'm from Port Talbot, but living in the Dartford area now.  Do pop back to see family every few months though.  

Will have a look at those R32 stoppers.

Liking your 30. Exactly how I want to get my GTI looking.

That looks superb!

Nice & clean, LED bulbs make such a difference! 

Real shinney there dude,    black is a hard colour to keep clean, but when all waxed up, it looks 

Nice car 

Cheers all. 

We're bonding well.  The recent wet weather is making me appreciate having a more modern car - I was driving a 96 Polo prior to the Golf.
