Just ordered Golf Gti Performance 2018

[jaygolfgti]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a new GTi Performance / Golf R. Today I found one that ticked my boxes and so I've put the order in, photos are included. It's a GTI Performance, 3 door, black with black alloy and leather seats and panoramic roof, 17k miles. Looks great IMO and a good upgrade from my much older GTI Golf MK5 2005 80k miles car.

Costing £27,000. Hoping they'll offer £4,000 for my GTi as trade in.

Looking forward to it. Wont need to do much, but possibly will upgrade stage 1 the ecu.

Looks good . IMHO black alloys on a black car is quite a mean, moody look.

Interesting to see the original diamond cut Brescia alloys have been refurbished in a black powder coat finish. I suspect the original diamond cut finish succumbed to the dreaded white worm corrosion as many do after around 2-3 years old.

Enjoy your new car when you get it .

What's a worm?

Corosion on diamond cut alloys... top layer has a laquer and it they get dinged (which doesn't have to be curbing, you can get stone impacts that don't even visually show that do it!) water creeps under and you get a wiggly white coloured worm type shape appear.

Will happen to them all eventually, just how soon... I had it at 3 years on my Mk7.

Fix is a wheel refurb - either back to diamond or powder coating.
