Hi all,
I pick up my mk5 gti tomorrow :D

Not sure how it will compare to my last car which was a Vauxhall Astra vxR, but only time will tell.

Alfie.

Literally as fast east as you can go in England.... Lowestoft.
Ill get a picture up tomorrow. It's a grey 55 plate with the 18" monza 2 alloys.

The wheels look a right mess with all the 'white worm'. First thing I do will be get these refurbished and powdercoated. I can't be doing with diamond cutting again.

Problems all ready...... Passenger door has given up and won't open at all.

Luckily the cars booked in for some painting (bonnet, bumper, solour coding splitter, skirts and rear bumper) so if we can't get it open going to cut a patch out to get at the mechanism and the door will be painted aswell
