Title: It's like a MK5 But with a boot
Post by: bert on July 09, 2016, 09:54:17 pm

I can already see some familiar names here ...

I'm back in a VW after a diversion to a Ford. Before that I had a mk4 bolf pd130 and a BTCC ktted pd140 Leon.

But here's the current ride.. I'll post the full spec list when I get chance... But it's  APR Stage 2+ previously owned by 2 friends of mine.

Anyway I'm Bert (Huw) 35 from St Helens

That's a very good looking car Huw, some nice VAG scene touches while still classy. Helios wheels in that colour work really well  :happy2: I love BMW interiors too so yours has the look! Looks like a great finish.

Probably one of the cleanest and smartest Jetta's I've seen, superb work - keep it up  :drinking:

Thanks both. I can't take any of the credit though  :signLOL:

That goes to the previous owners... Well maybe not the chief inspector of Warwickshire police who was its first owner. Have new VWR dampers and H and R springs to go on and the Helios are going.. They aren't to my style personally and I can't run this low.. I like the odd spirited drive (especially as my mates have Mk 7 R's) so practicality has taken over..
