Title: Phil's GTI MkV
Post by: BurtonGTI on November 21, 2012, 12:52:07 pm
Hey Everyone,

I haven't posted on the forum yet but here I go.

Here's a few images of my GTI.

Other mods include the sound system thats a double din pioneer headunit, Focal 650w 3 way set in the front, twin JL audio subs in the boot and all powered by the JL 900/5 amp.

I haven't modified the engine in anyway so please feel free to give some advise and tips on what you think.

I know the colour isn't for everyone but hey its different and that's all I care about.

Please feel free to comment

I got a good price through a friend at Gecko Graphics, Place near Southampton.

I agree, I didn't pick the colour knowing that everyone would love it. It's different and that's what I was going for. I know loads of people who have said they didn't like it but hey, they don't need to drive it.  :grin:

I might be looking to sell my pride and joy Golf after owning it for 3 years.

Due to driving 100 miles a day and can't keep two cars in my new place I have to sell at least one of my cars and looks like the Passat is the keeper for now.

I am looking for £7,500 once the wrap has been sorted out in some parts.
73K, Due for a service but I will get that done shortly. Cam belt does still need doing but can do that if needed.

It has currently a £2000 sound system in it but I would be removing this unless offered at least some part of the cost of it, the details of the system is below:


On other news I have entered a competition Facebook so if anyone is free for a second to "Like" this photo that would be excellent.
