Title: Hello folks
Post by: Mackie1 on January 20, 2010, 10:57:27 am
Hi folks just wanna say what a fantastic website this is for everything Mk5 :happy2: I've been keeping an eye on some of the product reviews, found them really useful and decided to get involved.  :grin:
I have a steel grey 2007 Ed30 owned from new with most of the usual "must have" mods plus several of the not-so-common ones.
Next mod is a full Oettinger front end including bumper, mask and grille.

....this modding capor is bloody addictive :laugh: :laugh:

The plate was another early addition, bought from a friend over 2 years ago. It was advertised in VW Driver, which is where i first saw it (and probably thousands of others). The boys in blue round my neck of the wood seem ok with the letter spacing as i havnt had any grief to date.  :driver:

Updated my current mods list and thought i'd add a photo taken yesterday at our club's charity coast run to raise money for Help for Heroes. 37 cars drove up the Coast Road in convoy and raised nearly £600 quid! Twas a really good day out!!  :happy2:
