My Mk5 (£1800) Gti Project
« on: 02 April 2010, 14:01 »
Hey all i own a Mk5 Golf Fsi-S

Lets start the story with the price of the car, i payed £1800 for a 2004 plated golf.
Why so cheap you ask? Well there was some history with the car and it had police markers, And some minor body damage. But driverable and repairable. The best thing about it was that it was unrecorded.

When i bought the car it came with
* Mint condition GTI seats
* Gti Bumper (fogs etc)
* Gti lights and converstion
* Gti rear bumper

So after a few months of owning the car i have now come to the point where i will start making repairs and adding a few bits to make a GTi rep.

I will post some pictures up of what the car looks like now and the progress will go from there :)

Also i am waiting on a few parts that will hopefully be delivered tomorrow:) thanks to a person on here
* New Gti Headlight (As Mine Has A Little Crack)
* 4 x Door Strips
* 2 x Mirrors ( My Driverside snapped off the metal so at the mo its held on with cable tie, and passengers side the indicatorglass is broken)
* Gti Front Grill
* Gti Mats

and a few other parts

Potential there!

Fastest cleanest colour, too!  :grin:
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Got to wonder what is the matter with it that you cannot see though. If it has police markers, do you know what for?
Could look pretty good though with some TLC.

Can't they remove the markers now that you're not the same owner?
