VW GOLF ORANGE SPEED 49von100

[stevw1]

Well, been a member on here for a while, and possessed many a VW marque along the way.
Two years ago happened across this MK5 Golf, and knew instantly what it was. Having seen it for sale many years previously on a car lot in Gtr Manchester. Short chat and quick drive over to Yorkshire and was soon driving it home.............

Did not know this was a thing... I can imagine that may be an investment further down the line.

nice one, I have seen one N/A 2.0 FSI at the Wolfsburg museum.

It blows my mind as it have almost all the cool things of the MK5 from factory:

- R32 rear lights
- Side skirts with the vehicle color
- R32 rear bumper

So........ it's been a while, and I've been busy!
Much has been going on with the Orange Speed.








Due to a broken drivers side bumper hanger, opted to go for a replacement. So while it was off and being painted had the front end re-aligned and new xenon's fitted.

Back to some sort of normal ( I know no such thing )

[stevw1]

Update on the interior too. Orange panels and some embroidery was added 
So had them returned to OEM spec with the help of Seamline......

And after

I've attended a couple of shows already this year, and plans for some more in the pipeline.....
