Hi guys,
I have lurked around many a forum for a while now and I've just bought a 2007 Golf GTI MY08 Manual 3 door, so I thought I would introduce myself and have a thread to post a few photos to. I also need to ask a couple questions about tyres as the current ones will need to be replaced ASAP!
The GTI is an ACT car from a deceased estate, to be freighted up to Brisbane next week. I am very excited, as this is my first car to be "performance oriented" and I hope it lives up to my expectations!
Little about the car:
2007 Golf GTI MY08 3 door
6sp Manual - wasn't overly keen on buying DSG
53,000kms - being a deceased estate, it has travelled bugger all kms in the last year, so the 60km major service was the first thing that has checked off the to-do list (with no nasty surprises and a pretty good price for a major service - I would recommend the dealership for their help with everything).
Tan Leather, heated seats, etc.
Now to the tyres, I have been quoted some fairly attractive prices for the 245/45/17 sizing, but would like everyones opinion on quality/price/etc!
One place has Continental CS3's (I have been told these this is the factory fitted tyre) fitted and balanced for $185 per tyre. Another place quoted Toyo Proxes T1 Sport's for $179 per tyre, also fitted and balanced. What are the opinions of both of these options? I am leaning towards the Conti's as they were the factory fitted ones, but all help/critisism/opinions would be greatly appreciated!
Photo's will be posted when I finally receive the car, as well as any updates!
