Newbie with GTI.
« on: 29 April 2012, 17:07 »
Hi guys,

New to the forum having just picked up our GTi as pics;





'10 Candy White GTi with 18" Monza's, Vienna heated leather, parking sensors front & rear and mdi connection.

Had a rcd510 fitted by dealer for £100 which I thought was pretty reasonable and got to keep the original unit, no working Bluetooth mind which I understand needs more bits and coding, any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Will of course be getting a Revo, Milltek and CAI  of some description along with some H&R/Eibach springs but I need the dust to settle a touch as my wife had only had her Fiesta zetec S 3 months and wasnt expecting me to trade it in :grin:

Loving it so far, just need some better weather to enjoy it......

Welcome to the ayslum and congrats on the wonderful-coloured GiT  :wink:

Now job number 1 on your list is to get rid of that rif-raf, hoodied, wannabe next to the beauty   :grin:

Thanks guys for welcome and comments :smiley:

Leon is my work derv, just coming up a year old and 25k miles, been great to date although I did prefer my Golf GT Sport 170 had previously.

The GTD was my preferred choice but the waiting list was just a joke last year, 7 months compared to 9 weeks for the Leon and a £5k saving.

That said Golf really is a much nicer car though now I can compare side by side, very pleased :cool:
