Title: Hello! New MK5 GTI owner
Post by: Harz on 04 January 2014, 08:50

Hi, I'm Harz...
Purchased an 08 MK5 GTI a couple weeks ago, my first VAG car. Enjoying it   :smiley:
The car is a 2008, 3 Door, Manual, 47'000 miles, had a couple of previous owners, VW history (apart from last service) with the cambelt replaced. Leather, digital dual zone climate, rear sensors. It's black (not sure of the exact paint name, will have to check the code).
Really loving driving it. Got few minor mods planned.
A quick pic...

Nice choice - what make wheels are you running there?

Cheers. The wheels are 19" Calibre Excalibur (they were left on by previous owner). They're being replaced by 18" LM reps coz I've got some eibach sportline springs to fit and the current wheels are making contact with the arches/liner even though still on stock springs.
