Thanks to Gene Hunt for directing me here, looks like a great resource for Mk5 GTI owners

So lots to think about now, i dont think ive got any major mods planned, window tint maybe, anything anyone else can recommend, also any general tips and advice about the car?!

Thanks in advance, bring on Tuesday!!

welcome to the forum--we all start out saying we haven't got any major plans :signLOL:

^^^^^

Lol ain't that the truth.

Welcome :happy2:

I too was like you once. Not wanting/needing to do something to the car. That fact that there are so many great upgrades available for our cars and how easy they are to apply.
I have gone crazy-ish. lol

Very nice clean BMP GTI you got there.

You better lock away your wallet. I’m trying my hardest to resist the urge to mod (can’t really afford it fight now) while being a member of this forum.

Post by: janus909GTI on April 16, 2011, 12:11:36 am: hey guys............

im loving it, such a nice drive..... taken it up 1 junction and back on the m5 but thats all so far, was nice to be able use the sliproad to actully build up some speed for a change, instead of crawling onto the motorway..zzzz (wont quote what speed i got up to) :)

im gonna stay away from engine mods as i just dont know enough about the mechanical side of cars, I am keen to increase its loooks, having said that it looks great as it is, so without going over the top is there much i can do?! Tax disc holder? ha...jokes. I like the standard alloys, although could upgrade to 18's?....

any suggestions would b much appreciated!

...my brothers next door neighbour has a gti as well so thought id take a quick snap shot whilst together! (he also has a Ferrari so will try get 1 of the two at some point :)
