New Member from Ireland

Hi folks,

I'm a new member here, looks like a really good forum you've got.

Glad to be part of it 

I recently made the move to a Mk5 GTi, which used to be owned by a member on here.
I'm not sure if he's still active on here, but if so, please make yourself known 

I'll post with photos and spec shortly!

Cheers
Daniel

Welcome. Looking good. The alloy colour really suit the car

Thanks! Yeah I really like the wheels.

There's a dent on the front wing, lots of stonechips on the bonnet, and some kerbing on the wheels that I want to get seen to.

Then I'll be properly happy with it

Welcome along Daniel,

I'm from Dublin myself. Gibbons is a Mayo name no? Whereabouts are you from?

We have an Irish whatsapp group for the smaller Irish following for help with VCDS etc. so let me know if you want to take part.

That's a serious spec machine!

Use photobucket and copy in the IMG link for the photos to show up on here.

Hi Luke, yeah It's a Mayo name alright... you know your stuff 

Thanks for that, I actually bought it from a guy in Dublin... It spent most of its life up there... Out of its comfort zone now in "The Wild Wesht" 

Yeah I wouldn't mind getting in on that group... Be handy for reference!

Cheers
Daniel
