New member here, bought my first Mk5 yesterday, sadly not a GTI due to me being 21 and insurance would rape me.

Its a silver 1.9tdi S, Its a 5 door due to me having a baby due in November.

I bought it with 76k and FVWSH, All old MOTs etc..

Its a really clean car, i looked at probably over 20 others before i bought this and this one is by FAR the cleanest, theres honestly not a scratch, stonechip or carpark dent anywhere on the car its absolutely immaculate, heres a couple of pics:

The reg even says MKV which is always a bonus :)

I honestly have too many plans to list for this, basically i want the majority of Edition30 bits, a remap, tints, etc...

Just thought id register and say hello, i mainly joined for the for sale section and for advice :)

Cheers,

Dave.

Welcome  :happy2: Sounds like you're going to be doing lots. Might be cheaper just to get an ED30  :signLOL:

Thanks man, i was originally looking at GTIs and GT TDIs but insurance wasnt even a possibility, i got quoted 5k per year on a GTI, its only £850 on this :)

Got some S-Line wheels today for free, genuine aswell but they need refurbing and tyres, tried one on for size:

Seem a bit too wide, no idea why:

Anybody else fitted S-Line wheels before?

They're only temporary, they're being refurbed tommorow in black or gunmetal grey (suggestions?) until i get round to selling them or swapping for Monzas/Pescaras.

They do look a bit wide.

5k is ridiculous, I got mine just as I turned 22 & only paid 1k. Still the same now with all mods declared so I'm pleased  :grin:

Choose colour carefully, don't just rush to get it done tomorrow.

Disadvantages of living in Manchester (amongst a lot of others) :(

No idea how to multi-quote, so:

@MAXLOAD:   Thanks man :)


@8ILLY & RDFCPETE: My mates going to let me try one of his gunmetal grey ones on tommorow morning off his A4 so if i like the look they will be going gunmetal grey :D

@MAXITROL:  Thanks mate, hopefully mine will be as nice as yours one day!
