Hi im Ricardo,
I drive a MK5 Golf 1.6 Fsi SE - I know this is a GTI website but seems to be the best forum for us MK5 drivers! Im 19 and drove a Fiesta MK6 previous (best decision to upgrade). I live in Essex (Rainham) and quite into the cruise scene so you'll see me @ a lot of meets! Basically i picked up the car about 3 week's ago car was completely standard except the R32 alloys. Been low on money so been keeping it simple with the mods! Just got a new job so will be able to concentrate on the car more!
