Title: Hello
Post by: Chris01 on December 23, 2013, 08:31:50 pm

Being in the heat of modification i must have completely overlooked this thread when i joined. It wasn't so long ago but anyway, just wanted to say hey, and also comment on the good and helpful info on here. Hope i can help and be helped, as i already have been. I drive a Golf mk5 GT, the one with the petrol engine. It's a tornado red so it's naturally faster than any other color  :laugh:

Some mods include a xenon retrofit and an r32 rear bumper. Here it is, all fueled up and ready to roll.

I got stopped with half that amount by popo once, rest assured I was breathalysed, lol... blew 0

I've heard the red paint is thinner and turns pink eventually, perhaps that's why it's a shade quicker. :evilgrin: :wink: :happy2:
