Hey Guys

Here's some pics of my new golf picked up last Friday, 07 57, 28k - have a very modified MK1 Audi TT that I've owned since new, just turned 9 years old/125k miles this month, so wanted a workhorse to run alongside to do bulk of mileage.

Originally thinking Revo map route but seems not an option on 170 DPF, now thinking more towards PDT or Shark Performance with or without DPF removal pipe and stage 2 DPF off tuning, Neuspeed Power Pulleys either Neuspeed or K & N Induction Kit.

Aesthetics wise, plans - colour coded rear bottom bumper GTI/Edition 30, GT Stainless Kick/Sill Protectors, Arm Rest and maybe some genuine R32 18" alloys when I've worn these tyres out if any are about at the right money.

Nice car. Welcome to the forum. I'm also a new entrant. Just picked up my GT TDI at the beginning of May there. Altho it's not as half as nice as yours. Any interior extras with it? Do you have any other plans for mods?

kilner:
nice its just like mine did you get it remaped ? if so who did you get to do it and what power was quoted and did u get it on the dyno ?


thx again

Update, so 7 weeks into ownership and have so far been really pleased with car.

1st mod I purchased was an armrest (although not fitted yet)

2nd mod, really think the MK5 arse is let down with bland rear lower bumper and after looking how much a new Ed30 lower bumper/spoiler cost plus painting, was considering a third party offering I'd seen on ebay. However, l managed to bag myself a complete Ed30 bumper (upper & lower) in Met Black for £160  :smiley: the upper section did have a couple of scrapes on left side but lower was mint just the towing eye missing (bought that from the stealers), so that's going into paint shop next week to get painted and then fitted.

Here's pic of the bumper



3rd mod, weighing up all the tuning options, I deceided to go down the Shark Performance Map + STS (Self Tuning System) route http://www.sharkperformance.co.uk/sts.asp) , reading this tipped it for me http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/202993-pd170-stutter-issue-fixed-for-good/

Will do a before and after R/R and post results - just pondering whether to just pop a K & N Filter on or go for more adventurous induction kit - thoughts anyone?

Andy:
