Title: New Member From Scotland
Post by: Stooey on July 21, 2014, 08:10:39 pm: hey, just thought I would put up a post to say hello to everybody :) I have been looking for a good all rounder hot hatch for a while now and finally on Saturday put down a deposit on a silver 5 door gti. its got full VW service history and only 1 owner from new and near mint! only draw back is its going to need a new catback soon and got 79K on the clock but should be fine as is well serviced.

not got huge plans for it maybe just tint the windows, exhaust, a remap and maybe some ed30 alloys if I can find some

well here is a few pics of it but its just the same as every other gti at the moment lol

Any time I see a silver GTi I always think they look cracking. Don't know why and they usually don't look great in photos, but in the flesh they are really sweet.
