Reflex Silver Recaro clad MK5 Gti
« on: November 22, 2015, 12:04:29 pm »
I've been away from the mk5 scene for about a year, although it was inevitable I would be back, bloody love them, such a brilliant all round car!


My most recent mk5 platform was my K04 Octavia vRS which I had last year, running at 324bhp, probably should have kept it to be honest!






Anyway, enough about the past, I bought my current mk5 Gti recently,
The plan was originally to pick up an edition 30 in England but the sterling rate was making it too expensive tbh!

The car has almost all the spec I wanted, only thing missing is a sunroof.


2007 3dr in reflex silver
DSG gearbox with paddle shift
Xenon headlights
Wingback Recaro heated leather interior
Dual climate control
Highline MFD
Multi function steering wheel
Heated leather
Rear parking sensors
IPod docking in armrests
Heated headlight and windscreen washers
Auto lights
Auto dim rear view interior and exterior mirrors
Luxury pack, Folding and auto dip in reverse mirrors with puddle lights
Rcd 500 6cd head unit
VW Bury Bluetooth kit
Cruise control
Rain sensors
17" monza's

The only modification on the car is some oem ED30 darkened tail lights, but that's all about to change in the coming months.....











The first addition was an LED RNS510 version P which I picked up here from Pashka



Next up was a Polar FIS+ Advanced which I previously had in my vRS

Just installed this yesterday





There's lots of plans in the pipeline, any comments or suggestion's welcome

Thanks James, the car will be getting lowered first and then the wheels will be refurbished and fitted after the winter!

Really looking forward to seeing them on.....

Hasn't been much happening with this recently, dark evenings and cold wet weather make it hard to get motivated!

I picked up a set of genuine 18" Monza's refurbished in light anthracite, I think they really look good contrasting against the reflex silver

Nice! Awesome seats. Had a set in my last GTI.
Wheels colour works well with the silver - I may be biased tho....

I really like this. It's got all the right bits. The wheels are good on reflex too - if they were also silver it might be a bit too much.

Nice Octy too.

I had been seriously thinking about selling this as I literally work 5 minutes from home, it's not getting the use it deserves.
But I just couldn't bring myself to sell it when push came to shove, so it'll be staying!
I took a few photos recently, thought I'd throw them up here
