Hello again from overseas :) sry for my english, speaking for me is easy, but writing is not, since i don't write often in english..
So i bought this mk5 GTI about 3 months ago.
It's stock candy white GTI with DSG, and 23 000 miles on the clock

It has 18' stock wheels, lights package, rain sensor, xenon lights etc. i don't know what was optional extra, what was standard on a gti model.
For me the biggest problem is the basic RCD 300, without even the mp3. no aux, no mdi, no cd changer.
Here are a few pics when i bought it..

Since the car was a little bit over my budget..i had to improvize
![Grin :grin:](https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/Smileys/newsmileys/grin.gif)
i removed the resonator for
a few €, and the result is amazing. it will be enough for when i will have the money to buy turbo-back milltek one day :)

The previous owner did not have any winter tyres, since the car was never driven in the winter, i was forced to buy some wheels and new winter tyres..
on my previous car i had MSW by OZ wheels for 6 years, and i was very satisfied with the quality for the price..so i bought this.
there were a few better looking models, but because the MOT was due, i had to buy something fast..
winter setup..

the car had the smoker packeg, with lighter and ashtray..since i am a smoker, but i will never smoke in a car, i put this in stead..never enough space for things :)

full led set, for everthing in the interior and licence plate..

So i started to retrofit things i was used to with my previous car..
first was the PDC with OPS, and Cruise control, alarm system..
i don't have many pictures, so just this

as of today, i am just driving and enjoying the car and saving money for the RNS 510, because i can't believe that a car from 2007, top spec model, has no mp3 and nothing as standard

also, i can't stand that black rear bumper, even if my friends are telling me to keep it stock..i decided to paint the rear bumper ( not the lowest section), and the front splitter..but i am in doubt should i paint the side skirts or not..
