I didnt want to start a build thread if Im being honest as im not going to deep with modifying the GTI. In 2 years time im going to hopefully get a MK7 R so I want to keep this well maintained and as close to oem as possible for a potential sale in a few years. So now I thought maybe I should do a thread; at least if its a forum member that will buy my car there can at least be a reference to what I have done, also reasons for what im doing.
Ok, so I have owned this car for a few weeks bought off another forum member pretty much standard apart from a wheel refurb.
2 owners
Full VWSH
69k miles
57 plate

A credit to the previous owner this car is immaculate and doesnt look 9 years old. Drives very well no rattles etc.
Plans maybe:
rcd510
30mm lowering springs
Edition 30 or BBS alloys
Tints
Colour coded bumpers / skirts
Remap
One of my previous cars, the one I miss the most

Looks lovely and clean :congrats:

Thank you! Yes I agree and I think a small amount of good quality mods will actually add to the value (im hoping) :happy2:

Nice. Looks like a good example there. Wheels look nice with the silver car.
Let the modding begin :wink:

Thanks, I do like the colour but unfortunately they're only 17s so either I need to lower slightly or get 18s IMO
