    Hotwire's MkV GTI

    Thought it time to start a members ride thread!
    This is my MY09 MkV GTI.
    • Candy White
    • Leather
    • Sunroof
    • DSG

    I bought it in February 2014 from Sydney and drove it back to Adelaide. This are some the dealer photos:








    The first thing I was forced to do was remove the tint to get it registered here in SA! So the tint was removed on Friday, approved registration Friday afternoon and the following Monday had 18% tint applied all round again



    This is how it sat for pretty much the first 6 months, then I started to get itchy feet about changing wheels/tyres
    As you can see the previous owner seemed to use the kerb as their parking aid and the wheels really annoyed me. I toyed with changing the wheel colour to hide it to black:

    but the whole black on white has been done to death. So I browsed forum for sale posts for along time, before I finally got hold of a set of OEM Karthoum Alloys - 18x8. Fitted with 235/40/18 KU39 tyres this morning, this is how it sits now:





    Next up is a Delphi RCD510 & 9W2 Bluetooth unit.

    More to come after the HU install
