Just wanted to say hello! My name is Rog, I'm 43 and I've just bought a Black 3dr 2005 GTi as abit of a rolling project. It has goodish spec too, including auto lights and dimming rear view mirror. It needs some loving to restore it back to it's former glory. There are a few niggly things to sort but nothing too bad ,the alloys need changing to 18"s, a new head unit, centre armrest and the list goes on and on....... :laugh:
I am no stranger to to the VAG group. I have had a few VW's, Audis and have a Skoda Octy VRS. I'm also on many forums too!
Here is a few pics of my old cars,

So, I'm very happy with my new motor. I have a Project thread/album on FB if anyone wants to follow it. I am heavily into detailing so will be "turning the clock back" on this GTi :smiley:

Welcome along mate. My car is in desperate need of some detailing, maybe you can sort me out? lol
I've got a set of 18's for sale in the "for sale" section if you're interested, cheers.
I can sort you out detailing, as I am a weekend detailer, for the past 4 years, professionally trained too :happy2:

Maybe you can help to restore my Tornado Red to its former glory?
Post by: gazcos on March 17, 2015, 11:58:06 am
I too have just bought a GTI, a red 5 door, and also live in MK. Mine is more of a daily driver (my other passion is Mk1 Escorts) but the Golf will also be getting some love.

Hello,
I too have just bought a GTI, a red 5 door, and also live in MK. Mine is more of a daily driver (my other passion is Mk1 Escorts) but the Golf will also be getting some love.
I almost went for red, but I am a sucker for black cars :smiley:
The mk1 Escorts, sound awesome too, you don't see many around now.

I'll be starting a "project" thread in the members cars area, at some point, as I have lots of additions to add to my ride, including some updated rims, which I went to collect today from Kent :evilgrin:
Nice one Marvin :happy2:
