Title: Finally got it :)
Post by: country boy on November 22, 2010, 05:54:20 pm: I've been hankering after a MKV GTi for some time now and had my heart set on an ED30 but after seeing this one for sale i knew i had to go for it and did a deal which involved my TT going the other way. The car is Tuninwerkes ex demo one,its had a few of its APR bits taken off but is still running a Phase one APR map and S3 intercooler,KW Clubsports,R32 brakes and the 20" Bentleys :smiley: I absolutely love it and was suprised how well it goes with just a phase one map and how well it rides on the Bentleys.

Anyway heres a few pics after its first wash/wax:

Title: Re: Finally got it :)
Post by: country boy on November 22, 2010, 06:08:10 pm: Yeah i saw it about a yr ago on ED38. I was struggling to find the right Golf and get a good deal for the TT and remembered seeing this on ED38 so rang Reuben to see if it was still for sale and if he'd do a deal with the TT and the rest is history. I was going to sell the Bentleys as i thought they were a bit played out and didnt want the whole 'thats Tuninwerks old car' crap but now i've got it i absolutely love them,what do you think about maybe doing them in satin black?? Apart from that my main aim is to get it as clean as poss and take it to the shows as it only did ED38,Players and Westside in this guise oh and get a cat back any recomendations?

I am going to go out on a limb here, and hazzard two guesses.

1. He has a magic sponge, with special water.

2. he takes the photo's after he has washed it. :laugh:

Welcome to the forum buddy! Awesome car, I know it and Reuben well :smiley: :smiley:

Cheers mate,Reuben is a sound guy was nice to do the deal with another enthusiast. As for keeping it clean,they were taken just after it was cleaned :wink: I live in the sticks so keeping on top of it at this time of year is a constant battle but i love doing it and it also helps that i've got an old 4x4 to use as well so its by no means a daily,i only did 12k in the TT in 3yrs of ownership!!!

Post by: bondy on November 24, 2010, 11:29:52 am: Charlie I'm glad you finally pulled your finger out and got a MK5 after a whole year of hearing you wanted one lol. Looks even better in the flesh. Like i said yesterday i would defo go with a different colour for the rims to help make it your own. My 17's are hear if you need them to roll on for a while. I was surprised at the ride with it being low and on rubber bands.

O and welcome to the forum. Speak to you soon.

Cheers,i actually prefer the half color coded standard rear bumper as i'm not trying to create an ED30 look alike. Your right it could do with a bloomin good detail on the paint,when the weather gets a bit better i'm gonna clay it and i got some Dodo Juice Lime Prime/Poor Boys Black Hole and Dodo Juice Purple Haze for Xmas,does this sound like a good combo for a black car? I'll see how that comes up before deciding to go down the machine polish route.
