2007 MK5 upgrade

[xframe88]

Hi all,

Joining to learn how best to spend some money on my 2007 GTI

[shauno]

Get it serviced on time & buy good tyres

Apart from that - the best value performance mods are to get it chipped & chuck on a rear sway bar

Yeah well thats exactly where I am, its almost due for its 60,000km service, its just gone out of warranty, so Im trying to figure out whats best to do.
Im thinking get the 60k km service done (should I take it to official VW or move to a third party?), and then get the mod chip done. Ofcourse that then leaves me to decide between the never ending gaia vs APR debate!
Aside from that yes I could use some new tyres soon, and Id like to get a good detail done.

Any other suggestions? I dont really want to go too nuts spending thousands on exhausts etc at this stage, but willing to spend a few grand all up.

Cheers!
