Back in a Mk6
« on: 13 April 2012, 21:39 »
Time for another new daily, so farewell to the Polo GTI   :smiley:

This time back to what I know best a Mk5 and a bit Golf.

After a bit of a head and heart fight between an ED35 and the GTD, the sensible side of me won with the logic of the saving a good chunk on my £1k+ a month fuel from running a TFSI as a daily, which can then be reinvested in to the Mk5 Track Day toy.

So here's some pics to get the thread started. If the sun ever comes out again I will get some better ones   :sad:











Spec wise it's pretty well loaded and being a late 2011 car it's got the standard heated leather interior and bluetooth upgrades on top of the following extras: -

DSG
RNS-510 Version H Sat Nav
Armrest MDI Kit
Sunroof
Lux pack inc Folding Mirrors
Winter Pack
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Adaptive Xenon's with LED DRL's
18" Charleston Shadows

And the my normal choice of modifications has began, first up was the Rear View Camera



And then a trip to Revo for a bit of a power boost which has made a big difference to otherwise pretty dull driving experience   :evil:

A few more bits to come but as I always say, I am not going too mad with this one  :grin: :grin:

Nice one Steve. Lovely car and a very classy colour  :wink:

When do the mods start then? Although that's a highly spec'd car...... Maybe put a petrol engine in it?  :evil:
