Title: Hello There!
Post by: Scaff on March 07, 2013, 09:08:24 pm: Hi everyone, new to the forum today. I'm Ben, from Surrey, thought I'd pop in and say hi as I'll probably be spending quite some time on here now :smiley: I bought a candy white mk5 GTI back in December, Some of you may know it as Chris Lomax's old car. Haven't had a chance to play around with it much yet due to braking my leg quite bad from a fall during the snow/ice but cant wait to get stuck in with it and make it my own soon.

Here's some pictures

Always liked this motor, so was a shame to see it not getting the love it deserved, and after seeing how the MK3 went then it's going to be a nice one.

Ps, want any bits off mine for your car! :signLOL:)

Welcome Scaff™ (for March lol) :wink:

Amazing Mk5. I LOVE the interior :drool: :drool: :drool:

Post by: Scaff on June 22, 2013, 12:57:42 am: Your right :happy2:

There VW Helios

And thanks :smiley: The interior is scattered all over my house at the moment while I'm doing the audio install. The mrs is not happy at all :grin:

The car has also changed quite a bit since I started this thread, I may start a build thread if I get the time but here's a little pic of how it stands at the moment

Post by: faisal_16 on June 24, 2013, 10:50:45 pm: Looks amazing mate...surprisingly, I think the Helios look better in black :love:
Title: Re: Hello There!
Post by: Scaff on June 24, 2013, 10:52:49 pm: Thanks, yes they look much better although there not black, there really dark grey sort of colour in a satin finish, I chose it to match all the alcantara work on the interior ;)
Title: Re: Hello There!
Post by: Scaff on June 24, 2013, 11:05:41 pm: you can see the colour a bit better in this pic
