Just picked up a **MK5 GTI Manual in Reflex Silver**, sitting at 93k miles – and I’m buzzing! I had a 3‑door DSG version about 5 years ago and honestly I’ve missed it ever since.
First few jobs already done:
✅ Full service
✅ New cam follower
✅ Swapped the bootlid to get rid of the usual rust
It’s running sweet now, but I’m looking for some **cheap second‑hand mods** to turn this into a proper little build. Thinking **Stage 1** to kick things off – any recommendations?
Drop your ideas for budget upgrades or parts to keep an eye out for. I’m all ears!
