New To The GTI Scene !
« on: April 17, 2012, 10:02:30 am »
brought my first gti on saturday (my second car) after owning a mk5 fiesta zetec s for a year. although ive not driven it yet as i cant insure it till next month just being in the passenger seat on the way home with my dad driving put a huge smile on my face. needless to say hes been asking me for the keys to take it for a drive ever since. cant get pics up atm as im at college but asoon as i work out how to and im home ill get them straight up. its on a 05 dark grey, 53k paid 7500 for it which i didnt think was bad as its got exellent spec inc leather, vw fsh ect ect

advice and heads up on anything would be much appreciated

Enjoy & welcome, it's a Slippery Slope when you start to MOD....
If it's not broke, Mod it.....

Looks very like mine when I picked it up nearly 3 years ago now, nearly identical mileage too  :evilgrin:

You've got some decent extras there like MFSW, leather and arm rest.
Enjoy it mate!
