has to be a 3 door  :happy2:
all my golfs apart from the mk4 were 3 door too, look so much nicer.

my 160k mk4 gti spat out a piston ring so i started looking for a cheap mk5 gti to replace it.
well that didnt happen!
stumbled across a black pirelli edition for sale and after a bit of research decided this was the mk5 i wanted.
i wasnt to sure if i wanted a manual or dsg so i went to look at a lower mileage silver one id found for sale.
went for a test drive and was sold on the DSG and the car!
original budget forgotten about i borrowed the rest to get it. only live once hey
plans are to get all the service stuff out the way then bigger brakes.
i need to research what options there are that fit under the pirelli alloys or any suggestions?
heres a few more pics from the ad
