Wahoo finally got a MK5 Golf GTI

[RetroTed]

After wanting one for ages I finally purchased a 3 door GTI in red and I'm well chuffed. It's an 05 plate with lowish mileage but most importantly it's a minter unlike a lot that I have seen

I think i'm going to remap it as I thought they might of been a little quicker but that's about it.

Anyone else got one

Loads around, get some pictures up and people will be interested. Im sure someone will be along shortly with some daft picture saying "this thread is useless without pictures", so yea, get some pictures bh.

Nice car, it's on my hitlist of potential next cars.

[rossw46]

Pics or it didn't happen

[stewies_minion]

Does need pics.

Still on my list of cars to own one day.

AFAIK they really benefit from a remap. Enjoy.

[vladcjelli]

I read the article in Evo a while back about a remap from Morego

They seemed happy with the results.

Now, get some pictures up. Preferably with custard

[LuS1fer]

Don't forget to declare the remap and watch that premium spiral though.

Nice cars, there on my next car hit-list, the Monza alloys really set the car off nicely IMO.

Still fancy one of these to replace the Trophy - would need to be a 5 door for me though.

[Pints]

Mrs Pints has been banging on for a while now about replacing the TDI with a GTI. Or an R32.

Get pics up.

Welcome to the fold. They really are great all-round cars.

[RetroTed]

Tada

As I said earlier I bought on condition and it has a great service history as well

[aka_kerrly]

Also on my list of cars I should own in the next few years but i'm not sure if id go DSG or manual.

Oh an a side note it's great not seeing the usual PH bks about FWD shopping cars blah blah

I've noticed that too on a lot of recent threads.

There's a new 'warmth' on the manor...

I had a three door White gti with leather 18s and xenons. Gj05xkx where are you now? It was revo'd to run on super duper,255bhp if I remember. did the ring twice and got smashed hard in the rear but fixed to perfection.
Great car but crap on fuel around 300miles to a tank I think, traded for a merc a200 cdi as the dealer shut up shop(st georges) and I couldn't bear to take if to the aholes in canterbury, go sniff around gtiforum, a great bunch of folk.lots have Fred in a shed service history so look carefully.

[rossw46]

Looks good OP,she'll give you many happy miles I'm sure!

[Bonefish Blues]

Wahoo? You sure? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=wahoo+picture&...

Nice!
My opinion would be to debadge it, but I'd also have a more subtle colour (customers don't need to know ).

Obviously not the most important part but, what kind of miles will you do with it and what's the mpg?

Not too many approx 8k p/a. It's averaging about 36mpg at the moment so not too bad.
Still made up though
