Title: Tornado Red GTI (pic update 9/12/10)
Post by: strapper on February 13, 2010, 06:15:38 pm: Had this since June Last year so thought it was about time I showed it off. Took these pics today but the combination of an average camera and poor lighting they didn't turn out that good. Anyway the car is a 2006 55 plate with 59k miles and the only mods so far is a pipercross filter, carbonspeed intake and a THS performance quickshift.
