Chris’s first MK 5 GTI
BaldwinGTI:
So last week I bought a 2007 gti in silver.
I’ve followed to forum since I decided to buy the golf. I used to be quite into my cars before work/ wife/ kids took over. Decided to step back into it. I’ve had a good trawl through previous posts.. but I’m sure I’ll ask some of the same old questions for those that have been on here a lot longer.
I’m going to use this thread to keep a log of work done, either garage or by myself. I’m kind of an OEM look as much as possible for visual mods. But hoping to hit around 250/260 bhp with this motor.
BaldwinGTI:
The photos are from the cars advert and will get some more when I’ve given it a nice clean.
Although for anyone in the know..
Does it look like it’s been lowered already or is that the standard height?
And these alloys.. are they monzas? And do we think they came from factory like this? As I actually prefer the diamond cut and want to look at getting it done retrospectively. If this is possible.

Welcome. Looks like a lovely spec. They are the monza alloys powder coated. Personally, I like them and they suit the car :happy2:

Nice looking car, the ride height looks standard to me.

Thanks. It’s got an excellent spec to be honest. It’s also as clean as I believe it can be for a 10 year old car.
So am I right in thinking that all monzas can from factory diamond cut? And then people had them powder coated instead or refurbish the diamond finish. I do quite like the colour actually but the n/s front is quite beat up.
