Title: just joined
Post by: barratt on March 14, 2011, 02:26:14 pm

Hello all! It's nice to come across a UK based site, was previously browsing golfmkv forums.

I've had a nice upgrade in cars. Coming from a 08 Fiesta Zetec 1.4 TDCi to a Golf MKV 1.9TDI is just phenomenal.

I could ramble on for hours of how awesome it is. I'm hoping non GTI'ers are welcome here, I noticed it's the only UK site going so I joined.

A little information on my car.

58 Golf MKV 1.9 TDI 105 match - mapped up a little - engines too new, only done 8k!

It has the GTI front end on and Scirocco Donnington 17's (ill soon be getting rid, tires at the rear scrape on the outer arch. got some standard 18" gti wheels lined up!)

Thanks. Yeah I've barely had it to get enough pictures. I shall get some in it's current state with the Scirocco alloys but they will be gone soon.

Where would I acquire a GTD badge? I didn't even know they existed. I presume it's an unclip and reclip jobbie?

My wheels scrape on the rear with 3 people in :( Getting the standard 18" gti wheels back, what colour looks best on a united grey golf?

Hi and welcome.

If you drive around in a soot chucker, you'll give GTIs a bad name!  :grin: Swap it for a GTD. Can be bought from stealers for a price.
