Title: Hello everybody, 100% newbie
Post by: IOWGem on April 06, 2014, 10:09:46 pm

Hey everyone! I'm on the Isle of Wight and just bought my first VW so completely new to the whole scene thing. Never been on one of these forums so be kind if I break any unwritten rules!

So, my car is a Mk5 GTI in steel grey. I was hoping to get a white one but couldn't quite justify the extra cost just for the colour and now love the steel grey. The only other compromise I had to make was getting one without the sat nav. It does however have full leather interior, xenon headlights, climate control and relatively low mileage.

Plans so far are to replace the wheels with either 18s or 19s, get some lowering springs and install the sat nav I originally wanted. As I said though, completely new to this so any advice welcome  :smiley:

Here's a pic of the car (I get that the thread is useless without one  :wink:), just back from having a valet.
