hi (again)

[sparkzz]

I am back,  in march 2006 i first came onto the forum to introduce myself,  but never came back..Alot has happened since then,  had a baby, getting married soon.  blah blah..:

Anyway, hello again and hopefully i will stick around this time.

I bought a MKV GTi in March last year and amazingly i still have it.  Still very happy with it and i have no intention of selling.  I have been driving 12 years and have had 17 cars, so i tend to get bored quickly, but this one seems to have something special!!.

The car is a 55 plate MKV GTI, laser blue.. spec: 17" alloys (which i want to change), Climate, leather, DSG, Heated seat, folding mirrors, winter pack, armrest, xenons.. hmm i think thats it.

Things i dont like about the car:  You cant turn on rear fogs without the fronts,  the rear windscreen wiper has a mind of its own, and a buzzing/rattling sound (not too loud) from the left side somewhere.

I like:  the way it handles, the get me out of trouble performance, the style, looks, and surprisingly comfortable on long distances.  Its a great car, and its more fun than the E46 M3 that i had..  which was only 10 months.

anyway, HI, and here is my car:







btw has anyone got RS4 alloys on their GTI, i am thinking of getting them but not sure.


cheers ..  speak to all soon!!.

Stunning choice, great colour! lol

Car look's fantastic, VW should never have dropped that colour IMO.

i totally agree. i Heard they dropped, such a shame.  I was just about to close a deal on an Astra VXR when i spotted this one for sale on the net, and it was the colour that sold it to me.   Strange as i was a little nervous about buying a "hot hatch" as i have always had larger cars,  but this is on is great.  I also test drove a Focus but the Interior let that down for me.  I love the Audi/VW styles and feel!.

Exactly the same for us 

We have got the Monza 18" alloys, and I absolutely love the look of them, but would think twice if speccing again.

I tend to think I am v careful with alloys, but between us we've kerbed 3 of them in about a year, and Wicked Wheels who I have always found excellent, say they can't guarantee the lacquer they apply after a refurb not peeling off again v quickly, so they don't want to touch them. 

I would be tempted to find a repairable alloy.

Great Car Sparkzz. Weird thing. Only ever saw one GTI with that colour in SA. Begged to get it and got that dark grey silver colour instead..........
Wish they still made them I think its a brilliant colour.
