Hi there,

Picked up my mk5 gti on Monday from Graeme at GNJ Motorsport in great harwood. The car came with a decat down pipe, stage 1 remap and eibach springs.

Absolutely loving the car so far!

The car was in good condition but I gave it a polish with the DA today.

No plans just yet. Just keep it clean for the minute! I have ordered original badges as I prefer the original look. I will probably order a new grill too.

Ye I know what you mean about the badges, I went back to original after having Gloss Black front & rear badges.

The car has the common rust issues on the front arches. I took it into vw to last week to try and make a warranty.  They called me Friday afternoon to arrange to get the wings sorted with a 100% contribution!  Going in on Monday so I will post some pictures before and after.

Welcome dude,

I've been thinking about eibachs too (sportlines i presume?)

How are you finding the ride so far??
