Why
As we all know a 'true' enthusiast can never have enough models.....
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnoldfield.dsl.pipex.com%2Fimages%2Fweblog%2Fjal_mk5_gti_black.jpg&hash=0cd8e4764b2c96deb4e5da1c167604fb1827776a)
Sourcing
My local Tesco for the princely sum of £9.00 ! BARGAIN
Some can be found on ebay for quite a bit more
All other colours ARE available but I've only seen them listed on US websites, in the uk it seems 'the fastest colour' centric i.e. BLACK
Have a look at the link below, you can also get the same model with deep dish wheels
>>> JADA website ALL GOLF GTI's <<<< (http://www.jadaclub.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=golf+gti&osCsid=ce5488cee09f5d8812eb7e4b5977357f&x=0&y=0)
Fitting
Remove from the box and you are ready to enjoy.
Some tasteful modifications can be your choice e.g. Add you own numberplate
Only your own sadness enthusiasm holds you back
Plus Points
Its not going to take away from your mods budget, its at a wife/partner easy to declare price point :innocent:
Its a mk5 GTI :happy2: need I say more ?
Minus Points
The american spec with side reflectors/chrome wheels arent quite right,
but then Ive not really found a better Edition30 model either.
Your partner/flatmate/friends may frown heavily on another 'sad' model :grin:
Other Info
Other mods to consider
Lots of other models available at different scales Norev etc.
You could even build your own from kit for true authenticity
Summary
Great Xmas pressy or an inexpensive treat to yourself during the weekly shop.
As close as I can get to my car car so far without spending ££££
You know it makes sense :happy2:

I saw these a while back on Amazon. Even posted a thread at the other place about it.
clicky (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=90141.0)
But neither of the cars in that link had side reflectors. Got shot down too.
Where in tescys did ya see it? Might pop down tomorrow.
-
Your link is to the Norev different scale model thats usually at £30 , stealthwolf
Tescos in the toys department, where all the other Mk5 owners will be huddled lol

Remove from the box and you are ready to enjoy.
Okay this may sound retarded but how to you remove it from the yellow bit with the "2007 Volkswagen Golf MK5 GTI" bit on it and how do you remove it from the stand?
Brute force is gonna break the thing!
-
lol, you need to undo the 2 phillips (cross headed) screws that go through the packaging from bottom into the GTI
You pleased ? :happy2:
-
I've got one in red 1:18 scale if I remember correctly....

I want a white one (GTI, not ED30), but can't find one anywhere!!!! I may even have to resort to buying a silver one and spraying it myself!

wow a 1:18th :| where from?
-
That 1/18th is really nicely detailed. I'd buy one of those, where'd you get it from?
-
in my naive youth i bought most of the 2fast 2furious models...however did go for an auto art skyline, its even got boot carpet!!
if anyone wants to swap the pink s2000 complete with pink furry buckets :happy2: (its a winner)
let me know!! lol
-
I have the autoart skyline too, its nice. and the 996 GT3, its such good detail.
saw a really good 1:18 mk6 gti tOday in model zone. no mk5s though :smiley:
-
model collecting is a weak point of mine :star: i have hundreds of models even a 1:18 jaguar xjs v12 convertible with electric roof :jumpmove:

fook me thats some collection
-
I was going to post mine up.
Maybe I will start a thread.
1970s Minichamps Porsche for me.
I did have a bigger collection but am selling some of my rare Porsche stuff to make way for more '70s as that was the best and scariest era!
IMHO of course.
