Hey,

I've posted on here a couple of times, never made a 'Readers Rides' thread though so here goes.

Bought the car in August but the first few months progress was slow due to my girlfriend having a baby, busy with work and trying to afford that and a house at 21 times do get hard, luckily though i recieved a pay rise in the start of december so its all plain sailing from here and i can finally get cracking :)

The day i picked her up with 71k (ish, cant remember exactly) FVWSH, and immaculate bodywork and interior, it was the 27th MK5 i looked at and it was the cleanest of the bunch and hadn't been clocked which was more common than i thought  :grin:





2 days later i got some free S line wheels in need of refurb (I'm good at this blagging ;))





These wheels wont be on for much longer (they're better than wheeltrims), i will be getting 19" speedlines at the end of Feb/March, anyway they were powdercoated 'mirror black':





Then i got bored of the look, so i invested in a GT facelift bumper with chrome Jetta grill (to match mirror polished lip when i get speedlines):



Then i blagged myself a free GTI exhaust system in great condition with the chrome tips:



Also blagged a free GTI rear bumper to go with it of course ;):



Then for xmas i was undecided on what i wanted so my wonderful girlfriend bought me some GTI sideskirts from VW:





Thats all for now, rear bumper and exhaust will be on tommorow, sideskirts wont be on for a few weeks til i next get paid though, as i'm saving to have the sideskirts, bumpstrips, handles, front bumper and rear bumper painted all in one go.

After that will be a remap at Awesome GTI, Tints, Speedlines then finally coilovers (Not getting them til after the wheels, sorry guys :))

In the meantime though, i want some black GTI headlights and the gloss black door pillars, if anyone has these please inbox me i have cash waiting.  :drinking:

Thanks for looking guys,

Comments/critisisms and ideas are more than welcome, i need to stay away from the classifieds or i'm going to have to sell my house  :signLOL:

Andy:
Liking the new mods look forward to the pics,now get it debadged

Dave_TDI:
Cheers mate, the Golf badge is off, left the TDI one on for now, also need a new VW boot handle thing as mine has the white worm stuff and it really lets the car down with the rest of it being so clean :(

Andy:
My.badge went like that,just get yours painted like I did,look through my build thread

Dave_TDI:
Is that not the newer 3d badge though?

Already looked at your build thread dude and i'm a fan :)

I was going to get a private plate but it would be a shame to change the MKV plate aswell
