Of a GP....well I have put the depsoit down today and picking up next Friday.

I sold my MK5 R32 a week or two back as wanted a change and have been searching for a 'correctly' priced GP since!!!

I really cant wait to pick it up.

All I need is an ipod connection and potentially a phone kit.....any help as to what I should get would be appreciated.

I certainly did cooper1019! It is wicked. Far better than I anticipated. I would like a little more at the initial rev range, sure that could be sorted without to much issue.

The charger noise is just fantastic....puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!

glad to hear it, you can make the charger noise even more tasty by changing the air filter,the oem filter is made of paper,and i changed mine for an ITG filter a direct replacement for the works paper one, 40 quid from vecchio, the engine breathes better and the sound is brilliant when you hit 4500 rpm and beyond.enjoy.

Thanks Chap,

I actually did that the day I bought it. I am not far from Lohen, so pop over to meet them and had the ITG fitted. Happy days!!!
