Hi, my names Andy, not so new to the forum but i've been a silent observer for a while. Thought it was time i changed that!
A couple of years ago i built a MK4 GTI,
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv353%2Foxygen_02_photos%2Fn549660658_569964_9069.jpg&hash=286e76fb8917ff58a9f1c7cefc77a8e5fb822c01)
loved it to pieces and enjoyed owning it, but i decided it was time for a new project and after falling in love with a few smartly modded Mk5's i decided i had to have one.
So after hunting for a while (and wasting money on silly toy cars like Renault sport Clios as stop gaps!) i finally found my Reflex Silver GTI last year, Clean tidy example with low Miles. I was amazed at just how clean it was, def worth the Long journey from London up to Preston!

So she stayed standard for the winter whilst i collected the first batch of goodies!!
Picked up Some BBS CH's 19X8. Needed a bit of a clean up, but i already has plans for them.....

cheers guys. It's in the region of 80mm down. Still got 50mm left on the threads too! Will post some more pics of the car and bits done a bit later!
-
Flipping heck! Whats the ride like?!
-
Actually, its not that different to standard which obviously is reasonably firm. For sure its a lil firmer on the bumpy roads, but generally its not much different. Comes with buying decent coilovers imo.
-
How much were they? :happy2:
-
Will have to get a few snaps with the two cars together tomorrow Andy.
Andy, by the way, is an old mate who showed me this forum last friday.. then on the saturday I looked again and saw the red gti for sale and that was that.. shortest every car search :)
