Hi I'm new!
« on: May 20, 2017, 05:21:02 pm »
Hi I'm Matt and I'm returning to the VW World!

I have had a fair few dubs before:
Mk4 Golf 2.0ltr GTi
Mk5 Golf GT TDi 140 (revo stage 1)
Mk3 Scirrocco GT TSI
Mk2 Golf GTi 8v



I sold my Mk2 7 months ago as I went away with work abroad where unfortunately I had a serious accident resulting in me becoming paraplegic. I am now paralysed from the chest down.

In order to boost morale I have got my brother to source me a laser blue Mk5 GTi with DSG. He is also getting hand controls fitted so I can drive it.

I'm looking forward to getting back into driving again and potentially having a few mods done to put my stamp on it. Roll on Bristol Volksfest in a few weeks time!

Cheers

Matt

Just a few cosmetic bits and bobs to tidy it up to begin with. It appears to wired up for reverse camera but there's no actual camera so that needs looking at. Initially I'll be looking to do:

Boot badge (gloss black)
Re-paint front honeycombe grill as it has faded
New back box or cat back exhaust (it was sprayed black by previous owner as it was rusting up)
Wing mirror housing painted black (one has a big crack in and needs replacing)
Wheels getting refurbished and maybe painted black
The cover under the dsg gearstick is scratched and needs re painting
Front VW badge changed to a black one
Spray paint engine cover
Pressed metal number plates

Future jobs if I have the cash eventually:

Edition 30 rear lights
Milltek exhaust
Cold air intake
Stage one map for both dsg and ecu
