New in from the New Forest - MK7 GTI
« on: 22 December 2021, 11:17 »
Hi all,

Been a while since I owned a Golf GTI but has some in the past, a 1990 MK2 that I modified everything on, then when kids came along I had a MK4 GTI that I modified plenty too, and drove it to 238k miles.

So after a break and a stint in a 320d touring then a Touran - that I modified I am back in a GTI.

Bought as few weeks back, Tornado Red Mk7. Stuck the wheels from the Touran on and have plenty more plans once I have sold the wheels/parts to fund it.

So hello and here's the chariot




And just because, here's the MK2 GTI

Tornado Red, same as the MK7

Will always miss the MK2, inside slightly less plush though, 2 Sparco's and a roll cage!
