Title: Hello, just bought a Mk5 DSG GTi
Post by: Gibbo1998 on January 17, 2019, 05:58:30 pm

So after 4 BMWs - e30, e24, e36, e39 - I'm finally fulfilling a long-term dream to have a GTi.  And OMG why did I wait so long?!  Most fun car ever!

Whilst my funds couldn't stretch to an Ed30, I have managed to bag a fresh, low mileage example.  I should be able to get stuck in to a few items that need sorting.  Hopefully I can follow my first ever posting with an image...

Picked car up from garage looking amazing. 100 miles of country roads later I arrive home and can barely see out of the back window. Two bucket technique later, this is how she looks.  God I love the red.

Hi. I came from three BMW's e36, e39 & e60 amongst some other cars.

Was a bit apprehensive going for the Golf but a year into owning it & no looking back.
