Hi all,

Just bought my first ever Golf gti  :grin:

Only downside is im offshore until the 21st August so i cant pick it up yet.

Nice spec with dsg, sat-nav, bi-xenons + golf 'r' pack (springs, ecu remap, exhaust + air filter)

Cant wait to drive it again  :rolleyes:

Any things to look out for or advice you can share would be appreciated.

Regarding the sat nav, it also has a media connection ? and is it hard drive based or dvd for maps....

Cheers

Looks their may be an R line spec, but not a GTi. R pack isn't on UK website?

How much was that if you don't mind me asking? Opens up the ongoing debate about remaps and warranties too. If a dealer can approve a vwr remap, exhaust and non stock air filter then surely if you went direct it would be approved too? Surely it sets some sort of arguable president?

Great find, I'm sure it'll look mint and sound fantastic.
