Hi Guys
Been lingering around for a little while, looking at various posts etc,
i just picked up a 05 5 door in grey, nice car needs a few bit sorting but looking forward to getting involved.
ps, did buy 06 3 door in black on flee bay but drove 100 miles to view/collect and was a bit of a dog lol. so lost deposit and walked away from a not too impressed dealer...

Welcome along!
Get some photos up...
Probably a good thing you walked away, a lot of people look at a new buy through rose tinted glasses and can often make a mistake and end up buying it.
Hope you didn't lose too much deposit!

looks a good example with xenon lights as well :happy2:
-
Thanks
As far as I can tell it's got pretty good spec
Xenons
Sat Nav
Heated seats
Computer
Multifunction steering wheel
Parking sensors
18in wheels
I think it's got comfort pack and winter pack,
No leather but not that bothered as I can add if I want to

very good spec--if it came with a mfsw it will have high line dash
-
Not too up on the highline dash, but I can do vehicle settings,welcome home lights,winter tire settings etc through the display on the clocks, sat Nav all comes up on dash too,

No only 100 quid plus fuel.
but i like a car to work on and mod/restore and that one would never be a nice car in the end unless u spent an absolute fortune on it...not worth it imo

I like the look of the Audi wheels on your car
Going to start doing a few things to it Monday, alignment and service 1st then
Cambelt and waterpump
Got some more wheels lined up so I can get these refurbished

Welcome to grey club.
Nice to also see a GTI where the wheels are still diamond cut.

They sure don't like the snow! All that power is tough to limit sometimes!
I was going into work this morning and the front wheels started spinning in third gear and I was going as slow as possible, although I think I hit a patch of water from the previous person deicing their windows!
