Title: Guten Tag!
Post by: GloriaGTI on 27 January 2017, 15:09

Hello all,

Been lurking on here for a while now and thought I'd say hello.

I'm a new member to the GTI community and to the forum, so wanted to intro myself and my GTI which I've named Gloria.

A week before Christmas I took delivery of my first Golf GTI. A 63 plate, 5 door with the Performance Pack, DSG, Pano roof, Leather, in Limestone Grey with Austin's painted black.

Wasn't sure on the black Austin's at first but have grown to love them.

What a cracking car! Love the DSG box, wouldn't go back to a manual now unless it was for something really sporty, like an Exige or a Cayman.

Gloria is my second Golf, had a Mk5 1.9 TDI (105) as a commuter when I was working in Bournemouth.

Cheers,

Nic

Also, since having the car I have removed the weather guard from the bottom of the airbox and fitted a Pipercross panel filter.

I've also done a couple of VCDS tweaks:

Alarm chirp on lock/unlock
Turned down the soundaktor
Fogs for coming/leaving home lights
Automatic rain closing

Fitted these too:
