Black 05 GTi

Duck:
Hello, recently joined this forum after becoming a mk5 GTi owner. I've been driving VAG cars for the last 15 years working may way through various mk2's, Corrado's etc and a couple of Aircooled too (one of which I still have :smiley:)

I started the search for a decent GTi a few months ago, ideally a 3dr, red, manual & winter pack if possible. After looking at few absolute pigs a mate put his 05 plate up for sale, I did say that I would never own another black car again after my last Leon cupra purely down to keeping the bloody things clean but this was a nicely sorted car with a few extras already in place (remap, eibach springs & dab head unit) at a really good price.
A few pics after a good clean today






After 2 weeks of ownership I have to say I love it, got a few plans for it but only subtle little changes.

Thanks
Mark

Looks great! Looking for something similar myself to replace my Tdi. Black does look good if well looked after!

Andy:
Looks well looked after..know what you about keeping black cars clean

Those grey monzas really set the car off!

I like it!  :happy2:

Thanks, for a 10 year old car it's very straight. It will be getting the roof repainted after the winter where some bird crap has eaten into the paint. I'm looking to source the lower half of the rear bumper with the tow bar panel, the tow bar is a removable factory one but the cutting out if the bumper is far from neat......
