Decision time...which GTI to buy!

[Bondy-MKV]

In the end the insurance cost me £1900!! I tried greenlight insurance but they will only insure me if i had 2 years or more NCB. After getting the insurance and collecting the car all i can say is it is amazing!!!! The car is awesome, i've only ever driven one round the block for a quick test drive and never had the chance to put my foot down a bit and when i finally got to it was great fun!

Once i had got it home i took it to the Audi dealership where my girlfriend works to get it all nice and cleaned up and here are the end results:
















Absolutely love the car, next thing to do is get a pair of 18" alloys, not sure whether to just go for the Monza's or see what else is out there.

p.s how do you get the headlight washers to work?

Lovely car. Best colour IMO.

And if you have the headlight washers (which were part of the 'winter pack' i think), you need to have the headlights on, then just press the windscreen wash stalk as you would normally.

They wash the lights every 5th press, unless reset by turning the ignition off.

Surely if you only get a pair of 18" alloys then you will still have 2 17" left on the car? Haha, only kidding, i know what you mean!

Looks great, hopefully your insurance will steadily come down over the next couple of years or so! Hope you enjoy the car!

Excellent, got them working now ta very much!

On another note, i've seen a few metal GTI footrests about in pictures, can these be bought anywhere?

There is a chap on here (and mk5golfgti.co.uk) called Gulf Stream and he does them. Send him a message   

Infact he lives about 3 minutes away from me

Yeah Gulfstream is your man. I bought a footrest off him, looks great! I also got some inserts for the recesses on the seat height adjusters and some stainless sill plates off ebay that i think look great!
