Title: Joined the GTI Club with Black 07 GTI
Post by: lmannin8 on November 16, 2015, 07:53:36 pm
Hello everyone, joined up here for some inspiration . Recently purchased an 07 Black GTI which I'm made up with. So far had to do new tires, tracking and 4 wheel alignment. Replaced missing door skin bolt trim, binned disgusting blue interior lights and fitted aux input so I can use my phone for music and fitted a nice set of GTI authentic matts. Car is great, brake pads and discs and potential front wheel bearings change next week as there's a whine when gaining speed (open to advice here). After that wheel refurb and paint detail with a stage 1 I'm thinking.
If anybody has any new owner advice for must check or changes then please let me know! Speak to you all soon no doubt. :driver:

Hi there, I'm from Widnes in the North West.  Trying to figure out how to insert a picture so this may go wrong!  Haven't taken any good ones yet, only the photo I had from buying it.  (https://www.flickr.com/photos/136939187@N02/shares/8264Va)

Cheers, wheels are pretty good. One of them is particularly rough so figured I'd just get the lot done so they're all perfect. Was very tempted by a set of 18's on ebay the other day that failed to get a bid at £650. I'll put more pics on if it ever stops raining!
