Leroy's 2005 laser blue GTI
col012:
your radio, theres a place in the north west Preston ICE you could go double DIN. Android radio unit, pretty good units I myself have this one - http://www.preston-i-c-e.co.uk/vw-006-oem.php
Nice choice of colour though.

Nice looking head unit. I've been researching them on here, would like some of this Apple play though as I'm iPhone not android. I bought the Mrs a Tiguan TDI 4Motion sport a couple of days ago and she's got one of the new touchscreen head units and i wouldn't mind nicking that. ( lovely drive by the way, 170bhp and goes like stink)!
Something arrived from Awesome Gti today....
Can't wait for these to go on next week, getting the suspension fitted next wed/thurs, replacing any worn bushes plus cam belt, coolant leak and big service. The seller said it had fsh but couldn't back this up for the last 4 years (said cambelt was done last year but reckon he's talking ballioks so daren't take the risk). The mechanic has free reign to upgrade anything that looks worn so hoping this initial outlay will keep the old boy ticking over for the long term.

good luck with the service :) i did a oil change myself last year but then a tip run after to dispose of the oil......so got a garage to do it for me + a stamp in my book :smiley: got my cambelt, aux belt, waterpump & temp sensor done @ £395.00 got a stat changed for £280.00 as my temp went down on motorway, just had my wings done under warranty & headlamps polished - that was £60.00 fantastic job, next for me is alloy refurb in manchester £200.00 for the full set (18" monza) i'm tempted to go milltek catback BUT i don't want to remap yet lol its got enough HP for my liking :laugh:

Good to know rough costs, thanks for that. The people I bought it off said it had a full service with cambelt done last year but without receipts to prove, it would be mad to take his word for it and then have the engine destroy itself, it runs so smoothly at the moment don't want to risk it. Ruddy love this car!
Must admit I am looking forward to getting the VWR suspension setup on, I've got a real nasty knock on the front drivers side wheel and I'm getting a bit bored of topping the coolant up every other day. When I pick the car up Friday I'm hoping it will be good as new. I've hadn't had chance to start the detailing yet but will give it a good going over next weekend weather permitting, pics to follow.

same for me weather permitting, going to give it a good 7 stage wash :signLOL: rinse, snow foam, rinse, hand wash, clay cloth, dry, meguiars ultimate liquid wax with carnauba
