Thanks mate,

Yeah love the car, never knew what i was missing in the 106, just such a great car to cruise and thrash every now and again, although white in this weather has meant iv cleaned it three times since last thursday but so worth it when it sparkles

cheers cookie, i totally agree, took awhile to find it but worth the wait!!! IMO all the colour range is quiet strong, usually you get one dodgy one!!

Congratulations, the Mk5 GTI is one hell of a car...  by the way, watch out for someone called Hurdy as he might use his Jedi mind tricks to get you to mod your car.  It happenned to me, an innocent Mk5 Edition 30 owner who one day woke up to find his standard car with a Stage 2 remap, host of suspension mods, aftermarket fuel pump, exhaust etc... and be careful as he might send Red Robin to do the job for him.  :evil: :evil:  and then you'ill probably end up with a Quaife LSD too  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Someone mention me? :rolleyes:

Stepping out of a 106 into a MKV GTI must be like stepping out of the dark into the light. Modding your car would be like doing the same again :wink:

Good to hear you're so happy with the GTI  :smiley:.
And yes the modding bug is impossible to avoid! I don't even have a GTI, just a lowly 1.4 and the bug hit me instantly  :tongue: Everyone here is very helpful with modding matters though  :cool:.
