Title: A warm welcome from a cross-forum member :)
Post by: MJ on February 21, 2014, 11:53:29 pm

Thought i'd say hello to all on the forum and introduce myself  :smiley:

I'm james, a 26 year old VW AG mastertech who's spent the last 10 years working on VW group cars and loves everything DUB. I work for a REVO dealer and drive a heavily modified, continuously changing, confused mk5 Golf GT TDI (a diesel, i know - so shoot me  :wink:)

I've mainly spent my forum time over on SCN but i've seen a few members on there also frequent here so it cant be a bad place and seems to have a wealth of knowledge aboard.

I'll look forward to being part of the community.

I agree about the pics. I'll try and get some over the next week or two after I fit the 345mm front and 310 rear brakes I picked up today and gti leather interior I'll be collecting next week! So much spare money ploughed into this car  :laugh:

Welcome along  :happy2: where did you get that clip on the caliber that says gti? I've never seen that before just the usual R S3 etc.

Cheers chaps.

It's a standard clip painted in silver caliper paint with a high temp decal stuck on.

The cost about £30 to make.
