Just joined here, came across it while looking for some information, didn't find what I was looking for but thought I'd sign up.

Here is my car:

Only got it last week, good car, had a Corsa C 1.2 previously.

looks nice! Are they TT leather seats, only they look a bit different from the GTI leathers?

Got any plans for it?

As far as I know, they are just standard GTI leathers.

Nothing yet, keeping it standard for now, just tidying it up a little bit (it's in good condition but there's a few little things).

I'm happy with the way it looks as standard to be honest, maybe some performance mods and some subtle styling in the future though.

Keep it subtle mate! Best way!

What made you go for a 5 door?

Indeed, subtle is where it's at.

Hm, didn't really decide to get a 5 door. There aren't that many of them around for sale, saw one I liked and it was a 5 door and went for it, doesn't bother me, I think it looks fine. Plus 3 doors get annoying anyway.

Haha yeah tbh, a 5 door is much easier to use, and I prefer being in them, but then as soon as I get out I hate looking at it haha.

Also, when I used to have rear seats I could dump stuff on them like hoodies and bags, but it ain't as easy with a 5 door as they would just drop out when someone got in haha.

Atleast you got leather! :)

Yeh tbh, a 5 door is more practical, but I prefer the looks of a 3 door.. Don't think it looks that bad though.

I'm impressed with the spec for the age of the car, I don't know whether or not anything is optional extras (other than the leathers) but it is more specced out than my dads Golf GTI which is a year newer.

It seems to be half basic half high.

You got leathers and climate control, but then you don't have the CD player or changer ( not a problem as most people upgrade sounds anyway )

Don't think there were that many optional extras on the mk5 gti's.

5 doors can be made to look just as nice if not better than 3 doors, as demonstrated by Babz on here with his blue mk5.

Mk5's look so sweet with wheels tucked into the arches and then slammed!

I do, I have a 6-disc changer.

By the way, sorry to sound like a complete idiot.. But my car is a mk3 phase 2, right? I don't know much about Polos, haven't paid much attention to them before, aha.

Most people will refer to them as a MK5 mate, or 6N2.

Whenever you wanna search for something on eBay or something though, best to search by 6N2 because most sellers get the mk's wrong!

Oh, I swear people call them different things. I looked on Wikipedia and that says its a mk3 phase 2.

Confusinggg.
