Hi All, my name is James and I recently bought myself a MK5 GTi in grey (5-door) with FSH and 84K. The car had the wings already replaced under warranty by the previous owner and is mint overall.
Car when I 1st bought it:

That's it for now although I bought a low mileage downpipe (thanks eBay £19) and removed the pre-cat 'stuff' which is yet to be fitted.

Thanks for looking.

Good work! Did you knock the precat out with the downpipe upside down? Little bits can fall down.
Wheels look lovely!

Thanks Pesky :happy2: - Yes, I did do it upside down but before fitting I will be blasting with compressed air to make sure that there are no little nasties still in there...!
Soooo pleased with the finish. I live in South Shields and the guy that did them (SEM Alloys) was brilliant, offering replacement wheels while he did the waor but I ended up buying some other genuine rims on eBay and dropping them off to be refurbished. My old ones that are mint will be up for sale soon :wink:

Nice example. Do like the grey GTI's :happy2:

Great example you have there, I love gray GTIs, keep up the good work

Thanks Rich, I do too but then I'm slightly biased!!
More to follow but my wife is due this weekend so this may get put on the back burner for a few weeks at least!!
