hi guys :)

came across this forum on google so thought id give it ago , this car is my 4th VAG coming from a mk4 golf 1.8t, Cupra R 225 and a bora tdi 150 but my best so far!!

brought myself a 2004 golf GT tdi 140 as iv always wanted a mk5 I was far from disappointed , a fantastic all rounder , looks , performance and impressive MPG and huge potential in modifying both cosmetically and performance

my first intention was to keep it standard as I thought at 26 it was time to grow up :( , that lasted all of 5 mins haha

this is how I picked her up

my first mod was to get rid of the golf and gt badges from the back as imo they ruin the back end , so I went out equipped with my hair dryer , dental floss and polish and got to work :) an hour or so of elbow grease and burnt finger tips , she was badgeless

massive improvement , didn't stop there :) sourced some neuspeed style alloys in black that are not too common which was exactly what I was after got them on the car and transformed it :)

that's it upto yet , sourced some -35mm h&r lowering springs what will make the car look a million times better as the arch gap is ridiculous haha

thanks for reading , looking forward to comments good or bad :)
