Hi there, been checking this forum for the last two months as I knew that my next car would be a Mk5 Golf Gti. And well on Sunday I will be picking mine up! Mk5 Golf Gti 2.0T, 2006, 76,000 miles, full service history, full years mot, Reflex Silver. Only a first year apprentice at the moment so mods will be slow, but have lots and lots of plans! Power and looks :) but for now will just be getting use to the power, my last car was a 2004 1.25 Ford Fiesta, slammed on its hoop! 73.9 to 200bhp is a fair jump, but looking forward to it!

A fellow Ford convert... I went from a fiesta to a focus and now a Golf... Certainly an expensive hobby on an Apprentice wage, doable though :drool:
-
Don't get me wrong love the fords, an RS next maybe ;) but yeah and I'm on really low apprentice wages as well, but I can make it work and still live with my parents so now is the time to do it! I'm only 19 but it's going to be some project I can assure you
-
Welcome mate looking forward to seeing some pics. Also had a few fords in the past, can't go wrong with the mk5 Gti!

Hi and welcome :happy2:
-
Welcome to the forum, lots of good information on here and plenty knowledgeable people willing to give you hints and tips. :happy2:
-
Thanks guys, ask me anything about fiestas and I can tell you! Hopefully be able to learn a lot of the golfs now
-
Hiya!!
I'm also 19, from Scotland and recently bought a gti golf :)
My previous car was a 1.0 59bhp VW Up so I understand the jump in power... 59 to 230 is crazy!
:drool:

Welcome! Where abouts in Scotland you from?
You will certainly notice that increase! :happy2:
-
Welcome mate, going from a Fiesta to a Golf GTI talk about an upgrade well done. :happy2:
-
Cheers guys, I absolutly love it! Especially since my fiesta was the finesse so was poverty spev, manual window the lot haha, but I loved her the same.
I originally wanted an ed30 but my wages are poor so couldn't afford it sadly. And I'm from a small town just outside Perth. Are there many members from Scotland? Seen a few on my travels
-
And Morgen I follow you on Instagram, have done since I seen your Up! Posted on Splitter Scuffers haha

Woooops haha! I'd have a look for you just now but my phone's broken and I need to wait another 7 days to get another :( no instagram for me!

There are more and more recently! I'm further up north-east but often down in Perth!
Any pictures of the GTI yet?

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing the pics.

I work in perth, but travel Central scotland in the van because I'm an apprentice engineer, and go to college in Edinburgh once a week so see a lot of gti's on the road! I've got a couple of photos, but here's my gti and slammed fiesta. (Hope this works, not 100% sure how to do photos on this site)

Cheers mate, yeah it's a really great upgrade to say the least, done a few wee things to it just to get the ball rolling! Time to save for bigger mods now
