Got one at last - Silver 2006

(1/4) > >>

VWKD:
Been hanging round this parts a bit now and finally went for it today on a real spur of the moment.. not sure if that is wise but we'll find out in due course I guess.

Basically made an offer via email about 2pm today not really expecting the guy to say yes and he said as long as you aren't gonna mess me about (had too many of them) then ok.. A quick trip to the bank to draw out a wad of cash, picked up mate, saw it, liked it, drove it, liked it, hpi'd it, checked the docs, bought it and here it is sat on my drive...



Tiz a bit poverty spec'd but it'll only get driven at weekends for a break from the old chip fat burning passat so wasn't too fussed about toys.. I'm sure I can add a few..  Any suggestions?

All I wanted was Climate and Monza II's and it's got them.

Only mod I'm thinking atm is colour coding.. which I will now be searching around these parts to find out what the deal is with doing that.

Will get some more pics where you can actually see it later.

Can't go wrong with Reflex Silver!  :happy2:

Hope it looks as good in the light!  :signLOL:

VWKD:
Me too  :surprised:


I learnt to Drive in my Mums Silver Mk2 GTI back in 89 and was lucky enough to borrow it on occasions... I was the annoying 17 year old who got to borrow his mummy's cool car and impress the ladies  :signLOL:  

Had a real soft spot for silver ones ever since and the Mk5 really reminds me of it with the red line round the grill.

Have to say first impressions is that its got nothing on the GT TDI in that you don't get the same kick up the arse when you put your foot down.. Think I'm gonna have to drag them up the dual carriageway before I sell to put my mind at rest.   I think it maybe that I'm not revving the Mk5 enough being used to dirty dervs and there low rev range.

Greeners:
A little remap will soon liven that baby up!  :evilgrin:

My mate had a remapped 150 gt tdi and the gti was still quicker standard, yep a remap makes a massive difference but you might find a leaky dv valve at fault
