So I traded in my old MK4 GT for a MK5 GTI

Its a good base to start on I reckon, what do you guys think?

I've been on ukmkivs for a while, hopefully I'll chat with you guys on here a bit more now!

Nice example of a standard reflex silver gti you got there  :happy2:

Got any modding plans?

Thinking so far:

dark rear lights
depo/hella xenon looks
new wheels, not sure what yet. would prefer something unusual like my last car, but well see what comes up!
maybe remap?

anything you recommend guys?

Best not ask us, we will put a hole in your wallet the size of the Datford Tunnel!  :laugh:

Pretty much every single part of your car can be changed (some, even for the better).

A good start and a standard modding list is.....

Map (stage 1) and DSG map if you've got DSG
Cat back Exhaust
Intake
Handling mods ie Anti Lift Kit, Anti Roll Bars, Springs

Once that's done you can really start spending some of your hard earned!!  :wink:

Haha cheers bud!

Bit wary of exhausts, my last milltek was a bit OTT!!!

But been there and done that so I know the costs  :happy2:

Wheels are a priority though! 17's are just too small!
