Title: Hey new to the forum
Post by: Nighty25 on 18 October 2015, 22:55
Hi how is everyone doing? My name is Jamie. I have been using the forum for a while now but only just took the plunge and decided to join.
I have owned my current GTI for just over a year covering around 12k of the most enjoyable miles. I absolutely love the car to bits having come from boring Audi oil burners the GTI is a breath of fresh air.
My car is tornado red and is running a few subtle mods. It's lowered on VWR springs running 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm on the rear. I have also fitted a forge boost pipe and pipercross panel filter. Would love to get a full exhaust system fitted next and more power but my history with cars is vast. I usually change cars every 18 to 24 months and something is pushing me towards a new RS3 or the new B9 S4.
I will try and get some pics up for you guys of the car soon as possible as I am rather ocd when it comes to keeping my cars clean. If you want to have a look at the car feel free to have a look at my Instagram profile (weenighty19).
Cheers Jamie

Welcome Jamie, had a quick look at the motor and it looks good. You certainly won't be the first to be a OCD with cleaning. I'm certainly part of that club.

Here is mine

Welcome, definitely get some pictures on here. Like the sound of the mods you've made already.

Offft remlapeel, that has a decent shine on it, I just cleaned my GTI and I thought I'd done not to badly but that puts mine to shame lol. Mine is white though so I have an excuse. What do you use? I used to use Gtechniq but I've decided I much prefer sonax products and they are cheaper  :smiley:
