My 2018 Golf GTI

[Starlet_gt]

I bought my GTI in January of this year. The only VW's I've owned have been transporters and I've had my t5.1 coming up to 6 years.

I hadn't had a car since last July when I sold my 2005 Cooper S.  A GTI wasn't on the list, however, it came up used approved with 2 years warranty and in a garage 15 miles away. Test drove it and loved it!

Day I picked it up -




I've done a 1000 or so miles in it over the last few weeks and don't regret my decision to buy it. So far, I've added a panel filter and maxton spoiler lip. I'd like a remap, however, it's a manual car so will be saving for a clutch.

Before you go down the route of a remap, consider a pedalbox. I love mine, it makes the car really responsive and feels like you've dumped 100kgs. Not everyone likes them but I'd say it's well worth trying first.

Beautiful scenery, and car too!

I’ll echo what Watts said - try a pedalbox as a first step

Cheers both. Will take a look at some point.

Had a custom backbox made up last week. It still has the centre silencer.  Unsure whether to get it removed.  It's louder than standard but  I think it's a bit quiet for me.
