Picked up my new ride today. 10 days ago when I put a deposit down so today couldn't come too soon. Oh man I love her. Coming from a Mk3, this car is just different class. Planning to have a stage 1 remap in about a month - or maybe sooner :wink: Not really planning much else other than very small cosmetic tweaks like seat inserts and footrest (already ordered) and black badges - though having trouble finding a black rear badge. Might also put some of the darker R32/ED30 rear lights on at some point, though I'm finding it hard to justify £175 for darker red plastic :surprised: Anyway here is a picture of her as she is now taken off the dealer's website. Will take some more pictures of her soon - gives me a good excuse to practice some car photography :happy2:

Yeah I'm well pleased, it's been well looked after. One careful owner full VWSH, already had the skirts colour coded and alloys refurbed. Been looking for a couple of months and this was the best one I found within budget - well slightly over with the Parrot bluetooth fitted :wink: Just took one look at it and knew it was the one :happy2:

Congratulations. :drinking: oh and dont think for one minute you will stop at just a remap. :wink: Also you can spray the standard pinkies for a few squids.

Well I keep telling myself 'just a remap and a few little cosmetic tweaks' but I have a sneaky feeling it won't stop there, especially if I keep hanging around here :signLOL:

nice motor--but you will also have it lowered as well as the map :signLOL:

Oh bugger, now you've got me thinking :signLOL:

Looks stunning mate - it's worth waiting for the right car - you just know it when you see it as well
Also i think the colour coding transforms them as well, especially silver/red/white
Once that modding bug bites you gotta itch it man! :grin:

now you know why this forum is bad for your bank balance :grin:

A quick update after 3 days ownership. Here's what I've done so far.
R32 tail lights - On order delivery next week. I couldn't resist :wink:
GTi footrest and seat inserts - a cheap little mod :happy2:
Private plates. Bought 10 days ago and assigned and fitted today
GTi mats from main stealer - lucky to find a set with oval fixings I think?
Centre caps for the Monza II's - the wheels were recently refurbed and look mint but they put the old caps back on which have some white worm, so they had to go.
Black front badge on order but not available till later in the month
Only other thing to get done now is the remap then that's my initial mods done :signLOL:
That's it for now.....
