Liking the blue colour, looks a clean example! Just got a GTI myself and I also missed some rust bubbles around the rear badge :( not visible until close though thankfully. How much did you get quoted to repair?

Thanks. I was quoted to fix the rust on the boot and the rear arch (involves a full respray on the drivers side) at £375.. cash price though!

I have gone to VW and they have opened a warranty claim on the car, the chap took paint readings and pictures and was going to see what they could do. From what I've read they seem to offer 50% towards the repair of the boot rust - I would go to them first and get a price!

Ah right, good price really then for that! Yea worth doing I suppose, I did the same on my previous car (audi a3) and they repaired it for 30%.

So added a few little bits over the winter period.

Got some winter wheels, 16" alloys from a standard golf. Makes mine look like a rep though..



Firstly got ALL the rust sorted, local bodyshop did a great job too. Got them to touch up some other marks as well while they were at it. A week or so without the car but worth it and a weight off my mind.

Then a new battery, Bosch S5. Was in the sale on Euro Car Parts, the car was a little hesitant on cold startup, it was on the original battery and changing it has sorted it out.

Fitted cruise control myself over Christmas, cheers Eddie-NL for supplying the parts and giving advice! Process was a lot easier than anticipated, glad I didn't pay £100+ to fit it too!

Got a Pipercross panel filter for Christmas, which I've promptly fitted - can't say it makes a massive difference.. maybe slightly noisier.

Then got a eBay special short shifter. Hopefully get this fitted soon, when the 100mph winds have died down..

Tidy looking motor mate,  got a shadow blue myself and been really happy with it since I got it.

Love the colour, i have a GT in the same colour and whilst you often see bogo ones in that colour its rare to see a proper MK5 in it!

Whats next on the list of mods?

Haha the rare shadow blue but two have the same colour  just joking, great colour!

Next is get the 17" Monzas refurbed and then find and fit an RNS310 I think!
Will look into removing the precat at some point too, whether I try this myself or get a garage to do it I'm not sure..
