Hi everyone,

This thread is more or less a log of my ownership of my GTI. Nothing too crazy, just some basic maintenance and minor mods.

My car is a 2007 Golf GTI in Shadow Blue. Its the newer model with the BWA engine, and DSG.

Being in New Zealand we get a lot of Japanese Imports, and this is one of them. There is some up and down sides to imports. The option spec is bit of a mixed bag, some are really high spec with plenty of options ticked whilst some are pretty low spec and basic. A lot of imports dont tend to have FSH, but what they make up for is usually some key modification here and there.

Mine is quite high spec for an import, being fitted with the following
Heated leather
Xenon
Dual climate
Auto lights
Auto wipers
Heated and folding mirrors

Its had a couple of modifications made when it was in Japan
Adjustable suspension
Modified exhaust
Front carbon corner splitters
Rear carbon diffuser
Carbon look cluster trim
Engine grounding kit
LED tube tail lights
18" OEM wheels (Monza?)
A cute little tartan ring around the ignition barrel

Nothing too major, but just enough to make it handle well, corner flat and look unique.

The tali lights are what you guys would call Marmite, but they will stay for now. The look has kind of grown on me as its just so different from all the other Golfs around, and at the end of the day its hard to justify the cost of a set of R32 tails to replace them.

My plan for the car is fairly basic. Soon ill be doing the Cam follower and DV replacements, just because i have no documents to say they have been done in the past. After that, itll be a catless downpipe, intake and a Revo stage 2 tune.

Heres some pictures of the car. I havent had time since i picked it up the other day to give it a decent clean and wax so this will do for now.
