Hello all,

I now own a VW Golf GT - 3dr MK5 2007 (56) plate with 52,000 miles. There are a few minor 'niggles' with this car that I have already started to address - For example, The condition of the body work was appalling when I first got the car but now...

Nice car but you may want to change your first line about it not being a Skoda!  :laugh: We don't mind that!  :grin:

Got a spare Charleston in the garage with slight kerbing you can have for £50!  :wink:

I'm located in Swindon/ Bedfont so could either meet half way or pay postage for the alloy?

I have already removed the huge ariel and replaced it with a Sharan one. I'm thinking about some Bentley alloys, Big brakes and making it low at this point.
