*UPDATE* On Ankle Injury!
« on: March 29, 2011, 02:02:58 pm »
Howdy all,

Just joined the site today :)
I've had a very varied bunch of cars in my time lol check my post in previous cars thread
but now finally the GTi, had it since December, so thought I might aswell join a GTi forum lol

Name is Mark, from Ayrshire, Scotland but work all over due to being in the Forces, currently in East Midlands but moving down to Cornwall soon.
Currently off work, on 6-7weeks sick leave so will no doubt be on here alot lol

Looking forward to getting to know you all better & going to meets etc :)

Hi mate,
Hope you enjoy your stay here,
Have you done anything to your car yet, or have any plans for it?
What do you do in the Force? :smiley:

Hey, I'm addicted to this forum already, so no need to worry about enjoying it  :grin:

Nah car is still standard, have bought loads of bits for it however but not able to fit any of it as on sick leave and basically bed ridden for a few weeks :(
I have bought the following so far, all sitting in the spare room looking pretty lol-
Wind Deflectors
R32 Rear Lights
R32 Projector Headlights
Stainless Steel Door Sills with GTI emblem
New VW keyfob badge as mine had been rubbed/scraped off lol
Pipercross panel filter
Black VW badges front + rear
Black GTI badge for back
Smoked wing mirror indicators

Then next month or very soon after will be getting-
Custom Exhaust system (dunno if i'll get cat or turbo back yet tbh)
Window Tints
18" Monza Shadows (possibly spray them black at a later stage)

So just a few things lol then later in year I'll go down the performance side ie remaps etc

I'm a Combat Survival Instructor & Survival Equipment Supervisor in the Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm)

Cheers Mark

Hi and welcome. Nasty injury but hope the physiotherapists are good, or at least fit!  :grin:


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
