My MK5 GTI is here!
Well, yes and no, but I cannot be anymore excited than today...after being car-less for 4 months. My car arrived at the dealer late today, so I think I should have it within the next few days, can't wait! Luck would also have it that today is my birthday. =) Will post pics soon!

Oh yes, I had to unpimp it to sell the parts (purely functional parts though). We had a set of coilovers, camber mounts, swaybars, and revised suspension pick up points (for shifting the front roll-center) at the front using an aftermarket set of spindles. Still got the parts here because I've been too busy to find a buyer. The new car is going to be sweet, but I still miss my old car. =(
And it's going to be a MT of course, I had my fair share of fun with tiptronic-type gearboxes already. Plus, better upgrade potential.

And another shot, before I got the turbo badges for my front doors.

It's here!
Just came in this morning.. too bad the roads are dirty and icy though. But wow, I love the car. =)
It looks even more aggressive without the front license plate (similar to in the pics I am posting), but it looks like I need to have the front plate.
