Bert's GT Sport TSI 140 - Stage 1 Revo :)

Played around with the leather a tad from these finished photos however its in, working and is secure! :star:
not as many people described it as "a simple mod" but wasn't too difficult and it isn't all that common.
Before
During <- too late to go back
Grinding down the shaft for the new one to fit! (Bit of a squeaky bum moment)
After (note I refixed the leather after this shot as the left corner had released itself)

Had a positive trip to the isle of wight recently to see my missus holiday home for the year :), whilst I was there thought it would be a shame to not visit @v4rley with his big box of led lamps...
He also very quickly changed my theme on my RNS510 to the darker of the 3 available (I found it was too bright at night other wise)

Very nice car and a good base for mods :).
IMO it's one of the best color you can find on a mk5 and the interior is looking really fresh. Even if there are no pictures of the LED lamps I know they look awesome on your color. Some ED30 front and rear valances will complete the look.
Did you install the GTI steering wheel? I am curious to see how it looks with grey stitching?
And regarding the MK7 gear knob, why did you have to cut the top off (maybe @Shoduchi could help with an answer)?
Shoduchi:
@rex the mk7 gaiter is too short for the mk5/6 gear stick. It wouldn't fit otherwise. :wink:
I've seen someone doing this mod many months ago and he complained about the work required and that he had to cut the stick a bit. :smiley:

Thanks man! means alot coming from you :). I will get some pictures up eventually of the Led upgrades as it completely transforms the interior and is such an easy simple mod. As for the exterior I only have LED sidelights but have bought 6000k equivalent halogen headlight/main beams, Looking to get LED front fogs too as some stage.
I was looking into the front and rear valances but my first thought was the GTI side skirts. It's been a quick turn around on my car so far so its a tad pricey!
As for the GTI steering wheel, I bought one and was due to be delivered but so far hasn't shown up and the courier in question hasn't updated any of the tracking since last week - currently looking into my insurance to get some money back :|
as @Shoduchi said, The gaiter is too short for the original shaft, its not the easiest job for an inexperienced modder however I can write up a quick guide if need be - I have step by step pictures but I wasn't sure anyone wanted to see that amount of pictures haha! I was just lucky I'm an electrician by trade and had all the tools I needed anyway!
