For Your Viewing Pleasure
« on: 13 April 2009, 22:22 »
After what seems like an eternity, the prodigal young man returns to the stage for which he was born; the world stage.

I have been keeping my head down due to the immensely high level work (cough) I have been involved in with University. However, I recently took time out of my hectic schedule to organise some car pornography for the avid fan.

The GTI on show here is non other than my very own 58 plate Pirelli which as can be seen is feast for the optic senses. Magazines the world over have been scrambling for the vehicle to appear on their front covers.

Performance VW magazine recently described it as “the perfect mix of OEM and owner designed aesthetics”. Whilst Ultra VW magazine were “enthused” by the performance on tap and “delighted” at the choice of spec. However, I think it was Evo who really summed it up when they concluded that “this is quite possibly the best example of a Mk5 GTI in existence today!”

I am therefore delighted to bring you the pictures that tell the ultimate story of sacrifice and victory!

I can’t claim to take credit for being the photographer; however I am sure it was only by my inspiration behind the lens that helped capture the magnificence of this beast in its wild and natural habitat!

Enough with the pre-amble bant:







































One of me at the wheel for the fans!

Not a fan of the pirelli, seats and yellow stitching look  :sick: Wheels look out of place too.

Carbon front looks lovely though  :cool:

The fine art of diplomacy is telling somebody to "fcuk off" in such a way that they actually look forward to the journey....

would have to agree with jules v6 on that one mate never knew alot about the pirelli until recently but as said not into the tacky yellow stitching and the wheels look awful, really think the monza's look so much better, the carbon on the front looks ok tho i have a normal 2006 gti myself and the only other mk5 id consider if i had the spare cash is the ed30 in grey = sexual  :laugh:

Well steady ... the yellow stitching is no more 'tacky' than the red of the ED30, and to say the wheels look aweful is frankly woefully wide of the mark! You may not like them, but to say they're aweful is a ridiculous statement!

A 'normal 2006 GTI' LOL

You get far too defensive mate, people are entitled to their opinions.

If they dont like it, they dont like it simple as that...its your car you love it, does it really matter what other think or say??

ETTO as always.
