The Wifey-Mobile: The GTi She Didn't Want...
FJ1000:
I'd been thinking about a MK5 GTi DSG for a while, but made my mind up after this:
Wife: "You're going to kill me...I'm so sorry"
Me (senses danger to my RS4's wheels): You didn't, not again...
Wifey: I was turning left into our road, and there was another car...and and
Me: 3 times in a month!!! Aggghghhhg!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I bought her a GTi.
A good one too.
5dr DSG in good nick, well looked after, with loads of options: leather, factory wingback seats, xenons, cruise, nav, MFSW, sunroof, rear parking sensors. A few pics from the autotrader advert, from when I bought it in August 2015:
Her reaction: why did you buy that?? I was fine driving your car!
FJ1000:
Treated it to a thorough clean once home and took these. Shiny :happy2:

Then the modifications began...
First off, swapped the xenon bulbs for some 6000K ones from EM Tuning, and some LED sidelights (shown next to the standard ones):

Next, plasti-dipped the front and rear VW badges, the red grill stripe, and the front GTI logo:

Then, lowered it on VW Raccing springs. The ride height is just where I want it, and has barely affected the ride quality. Highly recommended:
