Evening all from Belfast
Just joined the MK5 fraternity last week - upgraded from a Type R Civic to a 2005 Candy White GTI and loving it!
Have used a few of the excellent 'how to's' on here already so thanks for those - about to delve in to the realms of replacement head unit posts.
Had never heard of canbus before this week so my head is already a little frazzled.... :stupid:

Welcome along!

Welcome will have to keep an eye out!
-
Welcome to the forum,get a build thread up in the members section
-
Thanks guys!
@laral are you from this direction too? Seems ours are pretty similar mine is 05 88k.
Nothing too dramatic planned for it- so far I've been dead adventurous and changed the Gti badges to red and tinted the rear windows!

Looking good

Another Belfast-er welcome to come by the house and get the canbus changed across any time. 20min job. I've got full VCDS which you can use as well to code the new headunit to the car if needed :happy2:

Welcome ymto the gti forum where good things happen :stupid: :signLOL:
Nice colour motor. any mod plans?.
-
Thanks for all the warm welcomes lads- still finding my feet here, new to this sort of thing so a little daunting!
@Rossimac that is a very kind offer which I may just take you up on, I'd like to replace the head unit but really wouldn't know where to start!
@r5gtt nothing major planned beyond simple cosmetic things, valance & skirts coded etc
Genuinely really pleased with it as it sits to be honest but a few little things wouldn't hurt!
I thought I loved the Type R but this is something else....

Looks great- I've the same wheels on mine but the colour coding definitely makes a huge difference- that's my mind made up!

Somewhere I have heard good things about but never tried- we are the opposite side of town so the battle of wills over who drives is inevitable!
