Grumpy

Where in South Wales are you? I am in Cardiff and on my 3rd GTI, having bought the first one in 2012. Once I sell one its only a matter of months before I am missing it so much I have to begin the hunt for another.

An 05 plate Reflex Silver GTI with 53K on the clock priced at £5,850 has just popped up on Pistonheads.

That's a shame you are not selling it ☹️

Are you thinking of selling your GTI?

I have to say I rather enjoyed the video and the GTI is looking good - just don't cane it to much.

You will love it. I am on my third GTI and have run a Z4 MR and then a Z4 35is in tandem with the GTI and if the sun isn't out then very often I will use the Lupo as its far more fun.

Those Halfords ones look just the ticket. Cheers😁

Thanks for the response. The Xenons are the factory ones and to be fair when they are lit they have a nice crisp white appearance.

The bulbs in my side lights are currently standard and as we all know are underwhelming. Anyone got any recommendations for bulbs which when lit look very similar to the dipped beam xenons. Also, what is the fitment please.

There is currently a "new" pair listed for auction on eBay. I think the latest bid is £62 plus postage of £17. The listing has got about 3 days to run.

I guess I like to keep my GTI OEM. Won't do any harm when I come to part with it😀

What colour red are you opting for. I tried to find out from VW and other sources what the correct colour is, however, whilst nobody could be 100% certain the general consensus was Brembo red.

I don't wish to rain on your parade but isn't this car currently advertised on PistonHeads at £5,250 with a far more comprehensive description, including some info regarding the paint?

I will take both rear light light clusters off your hands provided they are not damaged and if you are willing to split them from the car. I live in Cardiff so could come and collect them.

Its always worth keeping an eye on eBay. There is currently a set of refurbished Bathursts listed at £400 or offer with new centre caps, however there aren't any tyres and they have been finished in a Honda gold colour.
