Title: (Fairly) new GTI PP owner
Post by: jh_97 on 11 September 2023, 22:35
Hey everyone, I've owned a white 18 plate mk7.5 GTI PP (26k miles) for about 2.5 months, doing 3k miles in that time from commuting, daily use and the odd drive just for fun. Pics to follow soon, although it's basically exactly how it was when I bought it. Absolutley love the car, it's the perfect balance of everything I'd need in a car right now. Been looking through this forum a fair bit and thought I may as well sign up and ask a few questions I've not seen so far. They'll be on their way soon! Cheers  :smiley:

You’re quite right, the mk7(.5) GTI is the perfect blend of everything

Here come the pics... Spec is pure white with Art Velour seats (do like the tartan, but glad I found one with these) and 18" Sevilles. Previous owner appears to have had them sprayed in graphite, including the red pinstripe round the edge, which I'm a big fan of  :grin:  Only things I've changed are adding the metal footrest (not as comfy as the stock as it's smaller, but looks so much better), and some dsg paddles (the stock plastic ones felt like such a let down next to the lovely metal bits on the wheel).
