Hey guys and girls, been a member on here since I started seriously looking for a mark 5. Haven't posted much but got loads of useful info from you all. Anyway, picked up my mk5 yesterday after travelling from Devon to Kent, but it was worth it. Think I got a good buy. Here it is, no decent pics yet.

Really chuffed with it so far. Only got 36K on the clock too. Got everything thing I wanted, spec wise apart from the Nav which I may retrofit when I can afford it.
Upgrades will be slow as its a daily and Ive stretched my budget. Think im going to colour code my bumpers and get a small front splitter. In the future itll be H and R ultralows and some Audi Speedline 19s until i change my mind in 5 mins :laugh:
Im in Exeter if anyone is around give me a flash
cheers James

Im part of the swdubs.co.uk lot. We've got a big meet on 23rd january 1130am moto services, junction 30, m5 with a little cruise. Golf plus are there so there will be some coverage. I didnt think to put a post up in the meets section here but consider it done.
Cheers for the comments peeps. Took me a long time to find the spec i wanted although i missed out of the mfd2.
Coming from a citroen C1 (i know, i know it was cheap) and then to a mk3 8v and now this is a bit of a jump in power and comfort :wink:

Hi & welcome mate
Recent Mk5 GTI owner here, I was coming from a Mk2 1.6 CL so was a big step up for me, absolutely love it :happy2:
Is that laser blue? Looks a bit different, maybe due to the rain or light.

See ya on 23rd.

Nah its shadow blue metallic. Quite rare from wht ive read. Its pops really well in the sunlight.
-
^^^^
I think Shadow Blue was discontinued by VW as a colour option quite early IIRC.
-
You certainly don't see many Shadow Blue ones about so it may well have been discontinued. None of the blues are that common really. Not as rare as those seats though!
-
Looking good :happy2: Welcome along!

I'll be keeping an eye out for your car, I may be at the meet on Sunday but I've got some running about and wheel changing to do. You're far more likely to see my old Ibiza running about than my Golf though as I don't use it much, especially round town, so if a little black Ibiza GTI flashes you, it'll probably be me!

Welcome fella! :drinking:
