Title: Mattchaps enters the (virtual) building
Post by: mattchaps on May 11, 2011, 02:16:48 pm: Hello!

Just a quick 1st post to introduce myself.

I'm Matt, and will be the proud owner of a MkV GTI on 1st June. It's a 2007 '07 plate, silver, standard apart from 18" Monza's. Getting a good deal as it's an old company car!

Some of you may recognise my username if you've been around the R32 scene.

I've already had quotes from AmD Essex and APS for some mods to get it up to speed, feel free to comment. This is what I'm going for:-

Milltek non-res cat-back
Forge DV
Cold air intake
Remap
Short shifter

I'll get some pics of the GTI up whe she's finally on my drive!

Hi Dom & George, fancy seeing you here!

Yeah I am missing the R32T. The Gti will help put a smile back on my face while I save for the next project car now that my life is back on track.

Confirmed delivery date of the Gti is 1st June, and it can't come soon enough, especially as my current 11 year old Focus is very nearly dead.
