Hey guys just wanted to show you all my new car! Its a 2006 Volkswagen Golf GTI 2-dr.
Comes fully loaded, Heated Leather seats, Touchscreen navigation, cruise control, sunroof, power everything, keyless entry and has about 103,xxx miles on it. Its in great condition and after test driving it and seeing how fun it was to drive, I had to have it let me know what you think:

UPDATE:

so I finally got around to doing something to the car, been loving it so far but it's time for some modifications. I put Raceland Ultimo Coilovers on it a few weeks ago, and just recently plasti-dipped my wheels black. They came out pretty cool and this is just something different, as I wait to get new wheels. let me know what you think!


After lowering:

Update 7/27: Finally got my new wheels. I think they look pretty sharp. Got a pretty price on them so I had to take it. Let me know what you think.

Update 10/7: Did a couple more things to the gti since i last updated, 21% window tint all around, Forge Wintake intake, resonator delete and now new wheels! No more reps for me lol, ordered a set of Mercedes Alphards. Been wanting these for a while so I'm stoked that I was able to grab a set. Down below is a picture of my new wheels and essentially what they will look like on my car. Unfortunately I wont be putting them on this year since the season is over and the car is going away for the winter, but you get the idea.

Eurojet 3" TBE
Apr Stage 2
Short throw shifter

Euro switch
Vagcom lighting
Painted lip, skirts and rear valence
Yellow Fog light tint
Possibly a new front grill
A small chance of me going k04 is also in the works

Lets hope I can get it done haha

That's a nice ride man, I honestly wouldn't mind owning something like this once I have had a few more years behind the wheel so that I can get my insurance cheaper.

How much did this cost you? the condition from the pictures looks amazing, any minor scratches or anything?

Thanks dude, a few tiny things, small little paint chip on the bottom right of the front bumper and a cracked turn signal housing on the right mirror, still works great. I got it for $5700, previous owner maintained it very well to say the least
