Title: Hello from a new Golf GTi MK5 owner
Post by: swf7y on August 23, 2010, 03:12:15 pm
Hello everyone,

just got myself a new car (well, used!) and I thought i'd say hi.

Its a Golf GTi DSG and i'm loving it.

Totally standard apart from some 19" alloys. Fully loaded bar satnav but hey, I've got a tomtom!!

Got a few mods in mind already! Lol. Slippery slope..... Here I Come!

Heres a pic when I brought it home:

Wheels are actually Wheel Mania Savoy's.

Didnt like them at first but they are growing on me, still I might change them soon.

I see... Never seen them before, thought they looked a bit similar to the Eos wheels!

They do look good on the golf though!  :happy2:
