Few quick stats;
55,000 miles (now a bit more than that)
Xenon headlights
Winter pack
Luxury pack
MFD2 HU
Reflex Silver
5 door model
Dealer fit Parrot Bluetooth system
Highline clocks
#1438
Here she is after a quick wash on the day I got her

Since then, I've done a few minor 'mods' including;
New mats
Boot liner
GTI seat height adjusters inserts
Boot pop kit fitted and coded
Updated maps and software for MFD2
Day time running lights coded
Automatic unlock coded
Beep when locking and unlocking coded
Heko wind deflectors
Rubber key cover (most important of them all! Haha)
Edition 30 badge on the front grill (which has since fallen off so will try to fit again in the spring)
Ever since I got her, I was dying to give her a clay and a polish as it was obvious it had never been done. The paintwork was really quite rough! Last Sunday was the first chance I had but I'm absolutely over the moon with the results, the paintwork came up like new. I used a clay mitt for the first time with shampoo and it worked a treat. Here's a few from afterwards (didn't think to take any before pics!!!)

(sorry for low res pics, time to upgrade my phone I think!)
Also got a bit of rain overnight but the polish did it's job

Not got a great deal else planned as yet but I'm sure it won't be long before it doesn't feel as powerful and I get it mapped.... Watch this space.

Looks a nice example. Exactly the same mileage my GTI was when I bought it :party:
Enjoy :happy2:

Edition 30 + Xenons is such win Jake :happy2:The Xenon's aren't really something I had given much thought to before I bought this but now I wouldn't buy one without them!

Also gave her a wash on Christmas morning but she was dirty again within 24 hours! Didn't stop me taking her down to a waterfront location close to me for a few snaps though...

Nothing major planned for the new year to be honest. Would like to sort something out in terms of the exhaust but haven't got loads of cash to splash! Spending all my money on cleaning products at the moment! Might see a few cosmetic mods or some extra bass but we'll see how we go

The biggest thing is that I've finally fitted a Milltek non-res cat back!! After a couple of issues with the first one they sent, a replacement was sent which is all great and looking sweet

I'm now hungry for more so there's a few things that could be on the horizon... Buying a house and getting married doesn't help though!!
I also now have the original exhaust laying around... There is a small hole in the middle section (which was causing a blowing noise) but, other than that, it's pretty sturdy. Any ideas as to what it might be worth??

What's your thoughts on the Milltek @jakemower94 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=14398)@shoaybmakda
Yeah, I like it, definitely an improvement on the standard system. Sometimes I wish it was louder but then other times (when I'm visiting clients for work!!) I'm glad it's not too in your face! Sounded a lot better inside when I had the rear seats down and parcel shelf out the other day lol
