Title: The Sooty Club Mk5
Post by: Faithless on July 13, 2016, 11:41:23 am
Hello all,

thought is was about time I said hello, Ive Just bought a Mk5 GT Tdi in Tornado Red, this was to replace my Mk4 Gt Tdi.
It was meant to be kept standard after many years on modding VWs I was going to leave this one alone - well that lasted 4 days!!!!!!

This is new motor

The rear bumper has been replaced at some point and painted badly, but I'm looking at updating it with an r-line smoothed at some point.

Looks like he only stocks them for transporter now! If anyone had a link? Slowly but surely I'm converting my girlfriends mk5 into something I don't mind sitting in!

Might be worth emailing them to ask if they will be re-stocking them as they are great quality
