DMackie Golf GTI

(1/2) > >>

DMackie:
Well I picked up my new car at the start of September after selling the trusty Mk4 diesel after just over 2.5 years. I have always wanted one since they were released and I finally got one.

My budget for one was £5500 but after one came up locally for a lot less I went to view it and after a scan on Vag-Com didn't come up with anything major and it drove pretty well a deal was done after a lot of wondering if it was a gamble.

It is a bit rough around the edges but I am pretty happy with it. Once i picked it up it was dropped off at my mechanic who gave it a service and replaced the timing belt and water pump as it had recently hit 120k miles.

I am so far really enjoying being back in a petrol turbo after selling my leon cupra.

I have replaced a few parts so far including part of the airbox which had broken off. Cheap and easy fix.

There are a list of things which I would like to do to it but the immediate plans are to have the alloys refurbed as they are seriously letting the rest of the car down. Also bought a smoothed front grill which I plan to get wrapped a grey colour after seeing how well it looked on Mark M's GTI

A few pics after it was give a good wash.











Cheers

DMackie:
Couple of things recently. Had the DV replaced as the one on the car was split.

I gave the new grill to customised coatings and got it wrapped in satin grey. Really happy with the finish.



Also treated myself to a new keyring as the old one was looking a bit tired.

strell:
Looks like a nice few touches. Always liked getting a nice key ring for the car. But I change mine so often and pass it on each time

Cocoapuff:
Looks like a good base. The alloy refurb should tidy it up a lot!

What are the other plans?

Keychain is a nice touch!

DMackie:
Next two things are pretty boring. It is get it through its MOT and refurb the alloys.
