My Gunmetal MK5

Snap on the headunit! That's the GT500, right?

No mate its the GT310. Think the only difference might be that the GT500 has a usb port??

Oh yes, stupid me. I should've spotted that your slot is exposed while mine is hidden behind my flap (fnar). As far as I can tell the only real difference is the 500 has a dot-matrix display (which plays animations and keeps catching your eye while driving, or it did till I figured out how to turn it off) and supports ATRAC-3, and it doesn't have the aux socket on the front like the 310.

I quite like that gt500, but I'm probably going to get a screen or something next. I like the aux in because if any of my mates jump into the car with me then they can just plug their ipod in. Only cost me 54 pounds brand new off of ebay anyway so i couldn't really complain.

This is coming along nicely.

I reckon it'll sit on the LSs much more nicely than the Turbos.

Looks much better now it's debadged but you need a black one on the rear.

I just ordered a dubway and down and out sticker from that site.

Nice car.

Defo needs new wheels and coilies :)

where in leeds you from mate?

Alrite Lee. I don't like black rear badges, because the black doesn't look right on a grey background IMO. The only reason a black badge looks good at the front is because it's on a black background. See I'm confused between LS or Turbos. Theres a guy on here called Nickb i think hes in the members mk5 section, and he has the same car as me, almost identical. He has turbos on and they suit it so well. Would also be cool having turbos on whilst getting shots along side Dean's car.

Don't worry mate, coilies next month, and wheels hopefully about a month after that 8-)

Yeah the dubway stickers are cool, only problem with stickers like that is that the average person on the road won't understand it. But EVERYONE will understand why someone would rather push a volkswagen than drive a vauxhall ey!

Yeah mate don't worry the wheels are coming very soon. Lol whats so funny at the cherry bomb. It's really loud which is what I like, but it's tiny, ony probably 2.5 inches in diametre so it does'nt look over the top at all.

Sam you know I always take your opinion into consideration. Was speaking to my mate and looking at a few pictures, and we got it down to Ronal LS or Turbos. He's got Turbos on his Micra, so I'm going for the LS's mate. Might go for the porsche ones next year when I can afford them and when I get my arches pulled or something. But for now I'm settled with the LS's ;) until next week lol when I change my mind again.

They are pretty loud, luckily mine is only a backbox though and not a full system..yet. lol. It's not as loud as something like a scooby, but it's the loudest MK5 I've heard.

Hi mate lovin this mk5 ! i am a big fan

Yeh I thought it was a 1.4. Could tell by looking at the engine, single cam.

Clean Mk5 any ways. I would never get a Mk6 or a Mk7.

Mk6 = Lupo on Fat Pills.

Mk7 = Golf mini me.

Indy loving the new pix...looks proper professional have to say....

Cant wait until the coilies and the LS....Glad youre going for the Ronals ... Smart choice....

The Black badge looks great on your car....matches the colour really well....I was thinking of doing it to mine but my cars blue and was feeling the chrome look more....

Can i suggest Aero Wipers...jus put them on mine....looks wicked....gives it a totally new look

Keep it updated

I wouldn't dream of getting an mk6 of mk7. They are too cute in my opinion. They are also a lot harder to modify in my opinion, and more expensive to modify because you have to buy bigger rims.

Cheers mate, yeah I thought id try some different camera techniques. Didn't touch the camera at all when taking pictures just left it on self timer to avoid any sort of shake.

You could give the black badge a try, I think it will look pretty good against a black grille.

I am going to get aero wipers after my wheels and coilovers.
