Kind of wish I had of done sometimes, black is a bit dull..

Post by: fuzzy232 on May 28, 2015, 08:49:24 pm: Yes I spent 4 and half years looking for a change from the seat :P. I tend to keep cars for a long time, this is my first turbo petrol and my 3rd car since I passed at 17 (now 24). Love it and Its probably going to stay with me for good :)

What mods have been done to it already? Looks sweet.

Any future plans for it?

White and red - the best colours in the MK5 GTi.

I'm sure it'll bring you many years of joy.

I actually bought my first MK5 GTi in March this year and usually only keep cars for a year before shifting them on. But I think I'm gonna be with this for many years to come. I'm always looking for excuses to drive it. Just worried about the mileage with that though. It's currently done 64k so not too bad.

Post by: rashg60 on June 02, 2015, 04:42:40 pm: What do you think of the exhaust system - that is something I am currently looking to upgrade. The BCS system has been highly recommended but it expensive so need a few opinions.

Mines a manual version, which I prefer. I've always been unsure about the DSG gearbox.
