John's Tornado Red GTI. *Updated with BLQ's*
letlifeburn:
I've said hello already so I thought I'd start my little build thread, if you can really call it that. With work I aint really spent much time in it yet.
So I bought this the other week, Tornado red GTI DSG, with 49k on the clock. The times I have driven it, its awesome. My last car was a Volvo C70 T5 but the gearbox went within a year of owning it, which should of probably put me off another auto, but DSG's have the lowest miles on them from what i noticed whilst looking. I'll also say I thought the red would make me stand out, but I've noticed from these forums most of the GTI's are red too.
I do have a couple things planned. First off is changing the front and rear badges, the rear has "whiteworm", then ill repainting the black bumpers all round, installing a cruise control stalk, just simple stuff really.
Eventually I'll get hold of the monza alloys, and start with the remapping, and exhaust mods and stuff, but for now after spending money on the car, I'm keeping the changes small and cheap.

First thing i did was get hold of a new front badge, nothing wrong with my old one, but because of the white worm on the back, which Brookesb32 is making me a new one, i thought id changed them both to match.
This is how it started.
And this is what i changed it too.
Again being a chef, Ive had no daylight time to actually get it on the car which sucks.

nice ride! what interior specs etc :)?

Just put them in the other thread. Inside is completely standard, rcd300, no heated seats, no cruise control, and no armrest. Its the checker print seats too, which when i first saw on the pics for the GTI's i was looking at, i thought people were trying to pass off normal golfs as GTI's, it wasnt until i looked at MK1's that i realised it was a throw back, which did make me love it.
Thats the only pic i have of the car too, im gonna try to get some more when i actually have free time and some sunlight to take them.
