Title: New in from the New Forest - MK7 GTI
Post by: scoop on 22 December 2021, 11:17

Hi all,

Been a while since I owned a Golf GTI but has some in the past, a 1990 MK2 that I modified everything on, then when kids came along I had a MK4 GTI that I modified plenty too, and drove it to 238k miles.

So after a break and a stint in a 320d touring then a Touran - that I modified I am back in a GTI.

Bought as few weeks back, Tornado Red Mk7. Stuck the wheels from the Touran on and have plenty more plans once I have sold the wheels/parts to fund it.

So hello and here's the chariot

And just because, here's the MK2 GTI

Welcome! That's a lovely mk2... What did they call that shade of red back then?

Tornado Red, same as the MK7

Will always miss the MK2, inside slightly less plush though, 2 Sparco's and a roll cage!
