Daves Candy White Gti! Progress thread - 1st update.
Dave63:
Hi,
Im Dave, 21 years old and currently on a placement year whilst in my 3rd year of Uni, earning some money has allowed me to finally upgrade from the Clio 182!
Picked up my Golf a few weeks ago and have been loving it :)
Came from a Racing Blue Clio 182, this is so much better built and in another league! Still stupidly impressed by it :D
2008 Plate
Candy White
36000 miles
Only thing that annoys me is the standard head unit, and the black rear bumper. I have already taken steps to sort the head unit out, next up is the rear bumper and skirts, looking at going to the edition 30 route once I have a bit more money in my bank after buying this and the RNS510.
Here are a few pics of it before a thorough clean, and after.

First Mod
Having always been able to use my iPod with my previous head unit in the Clio, it was something I needed to have again. Did a lot of research and the RNS510 was definitely the way to go, a lot of people recommended Nick from R32OC, so messaged him and he managed to get me a Version C, LED RNS510 with speed cameras as well as having Video in Motion and a glovebox MDI kit added by him. Made the long journey from Birmingham to Essex and back as he doesn't like to deliver any more.
When he did it, he also found a standard Volkswagen iPod adaptor hidden behind the head unit, so currently trying to sell that on eBay (PM me if you want details)

Anyway,
Next to come -
