Title: New Kid
Post by: mrDMH on 07 May 2011, 08:04

Hey

I thought that I would introduce myself to the MK5 gang. My names is Daniel and a once my house sale goes through (next few weeks) I'll be getting myself one. I've always wanted one, and I'm finally at the age where I can afford to insure and run it.

I've got a few plans ready, mainly... R-Tech remap, milltek full system exhaust and the general pretty bits.

Thanks Hurdy.

Update from house is that all is progressing well so should be done within the month! Time to start looking for a nice mk5 gti!

If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!

Try before you buy.  The main danger is crash damage.  The car should run a true as an arrow.
Mk5 GTI's are great bargains at the moment with the cattle herd all mooing for diesels.

There's only really two things to think about
1 Doors
2 Transmission

all the other stuff about winter kits, leather, head units etc is just there to spoil your focus on buying the best (uncrashed) car.

What's wrong with that advice?  I don't see you offering any.
