Title: Austen's tornado red gti
Post by: austengti on June 09, 2014, 09:13:46 pm
Been lurking on here a while now but not really posted any decent pictures of my gti, so thought i'd get some up!

Bought it in February, pretty standard apart from its stage 1, was hoping to have it stage 2 by now but due to other commitments the funds haven't been there! Hopefully in the next couple of months though  :happy2:

Red Vs White?

Quick clean and polish  :happy2:

I'll keep this thread updated as mods start to get fitted, shopping around for some coilovers/springs and an air intake just now, hopefully pick some up on here once my post count is up so I can read pm's  :ashamed:

Cheers :happy2:

cheers! yeah im the same RPORTEO, when I was looking for a gti was determined it was going to be red!  Based in Inverness, scotland SURREYED30. Yeah soon as she's sitting a bit lower i'll be happy and ill update photos. How much do you guys recommend to lower it by? not wanting it scraping as I like driving country roads etc so id like it to still handle the odd pot hole or two, was thinking around 30mm?
