Golf Mk5 GTI 05 Plate
peter_booker2003:
New to the forum, hello all.
Recently bought a 05 GTi in Black Magic Pearl. Looked and looked and looked and settled with this one. Mega amount of spec which sealed the deal in fairness.
Booked in for a Cambelt and water pump in 2 weeks as they are due.
Spec wise:
Xenons
MFD2
Cream leather interior
Electric sunroof, electric folding mirrors, auto lights etc
6 speed manual
Multifunction flat bottomed steering wheel
Highline computer
Climate control
Heated seats.
Brand new Eagle F1 tyres all round.
One of the best examples I could find and very happy with it. Got full service history but is there anything in particular to look out for?
Stupots:
@peter_booker2003 "cream leather interior" I think your cream has gone off! :signLOL:
Nice spec! Love the black, beeatch to keep clean though! The cheap mk6 window switches make a nice difference and you may find yours worn. Also, new grab handle covers make a massive difference to how "new" the interior feels, though not sure if yours are black or beige.
Whatever your mod budget, you'll enjoy the car I'm sure. A thing to look out for is the rust on the front wings (top of the arch), front sills (around where the front wing meets the sill, also check with the door open) and rust around the rear badge.

Welcome mate, good to see another black gti being loved.
I agree with stupot on the quick win interior mods that make the car feel like new, I had the rust spots on the front wings which I managed to get done under warranty at the stealers.
Get some poor boys black hole glaze polish and nattys paste for the paint, it makes the car look like a mirror finish.
Check out my build thread for some subtle ideas on mods.
peter_booker2003:
Thanks for the replies both. My mistake on the interior colour :grin:
Wings have both been done under the Warranty back in 2012 so are spot on and the boot all seems well.
I'll invest in some of the wax as heard nothing but good reviews.
dronners:
nice car. must say im not too hot on the cream interior. but its pretty rare best thing you can do i think is to colour code the rear bumper and skirts
