Title: Black GTi
Post by: Raymie on June 10, 2012, 05:42:15 pm
Hi everyone thought I'd post up my gti that I've owned a few months now.

This is my car when I bought it, it's lowered on Eibach springs and got a bluefin remap

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fn271%2Ffastavant%2F59ea07a5.jpg&hash=328e5b34fce5fa706cae3b0ba1894492c34208d6)

Since owning it I've fitted the updated diverter valve, 19" bbs ch reps, xenon headlights, and a full service

Also detailed it over the weekend with meguires microfiber correction system followed by black fire gloss enhancing polish and fk1000 hi-temp wax then took a few pics

Your car looks lovely I do feel that R32 lights look the nuts on a black GTI.  (I'm biased though)

I need to post pics of my car.  I do love my car.  Been too busy driving it.  It needs a wash but kind of like it dirty!  Need to detail it to do the car justice.
