I had a mk5 a few years ago (as you may have noticed! lol). I moved into an ST after the GTI as I figured I'll try one of them out. I then moved into an Audi A3 TDI Sline (was for sale on here) but I couldn't get on with a diesel. So the hunt for another GTI began and here I am back to where my first venture into a performance hatch started - the MK5 GTI!
So the new (to me) is an 06 Shadow Blue GTI. It has a pretty high spec from standard and I'm glad I held out for this one in the end.
Spec is as follows :
Bi-xenon headlights
Electric sunroof
Heated folding mirrors
18" Diamond cut monzas
Cloth interior
Cruise control
Auto dimming rear view mirror
MFSW
Electric drivers seat
Rear parking sensors
I've owned the car for just over a month and in that time I figured I'd get a few things done.
1. Full Service (it didn't need it, but I like to do one whenever I get a new motor) including all fluids (brake etc)
2. New Cam follower (the old one didn't look half as bad as I was expecting)
3. Timing belt + water pump service
4. DSG Service - VW also noticed the coil packs hadn't been replaced so did them for free too!
5. New main thermostat (it wasn't holding the temp at 90)
Anyway heres a pic (from the advert) - Will take LOADS more when the weather improves (And I can be bothered to wash it!)
Hope you like it!

Love the colour mate. Can't wait to see a few pics of it. Good idea upgrading the brakes you done a good job with them. I had a set of R32 front brakes on my old 2.0 TSI Scirocco. They certainly make the difference. Must look into getting an upgrade on them next... I'll post a few pics of my ed35 soon especially when I get your ITG fitted

Cheers mate! I'm gonna give it a wash sometime soon and then I'll probably take some fresh snaps! The brakes are what I hear a worthwhile upgrade - so should hopefully give me the additional stopping power for coping with the remap!
You should have got the ITG today :P get it on!!

Though I'm going to slow down once this lot are on! Need to sort the house out though I do hope to get a set of coilovers on pretty soon too!

So I got my delivery today! :smiley:
And here it is installed :laugh:
Oh and these arrived too! Finally!
So thats everything I need for the brake upgrade to get done. I'll probably get these installed in a few weeks and will update then!
Thanks,
Faz
