Title: Newbie - Shadow Blue R32 DSG - FSH
Post by: will_r32 on May 14, 2014, 01:00:16 pm
Hi

So I am a bit of a newbie to this forum but I have been some what of a classifieds sniper but seeing as I have finally bought something worth while for this forum I might as well finally join in on the action .
I have been looking for a new car for a while now, with the big decision of what car to get.
As I'm no newbie to VAG world owning a diesel polo 9n3 which wasn't really doing it for me anymore, which I have now sold to my younger brother, and currently own a Mk2 Gti but that's a different story and is still under going a lot of work. I knew what I wanted, and after reading enough scary reviews of the new tsi engines I knew it would be a tfsi or an r32, so I bit the bullet and bought this....   :evilgrin:

3 door 2006 Mk5 Shadow Blue R32 with DSG, FSH 52k from Lookers Preston.  One previous owner, an "elderly gentlemen" so I was told, the car its self is immaculate inside and out, interior is like new, there are a few minor stone chips on the front bumper but nothing a little elbow grease cant sort out.  :jumping:

To be honest with you mate I'm not to sure which way to go with it.
I know for the time being I'm just going to enjoy it and sort out a few niggles, i.e. shorter antenna, rear wiper delete and sort the paint out, thats the first job.

But i know for sure a BCS power valve exhaust and new Coilovers is a must    :party:

Always best to sort the little niggles before you change anything, BCS system & coilovers sounds good so far. :congrats:
