Gmac's mk5 TR gti
Gmac:
Thanks for the replies folks! :drinking:
There seems to be endless possibilities on the wheel front and i've had a good look through the TR section and the wheel thread... So far i've got ..
B7 RS4 reps
R32 zolder 18"
ATS race lights
Omanyt 18"
Monza II 18"
mk2 audi TT18"
Or the favourite at the mo is the B6 S4 audi ronals
Thoughts!??
Nasir:
I'd go for BBS wheels. Possibly CH (quite common). Or perhaps the team dynamics 1.2.

Can't tell you what headunit that is, but could be an RNS510 if it's oem.
See you've got the Xenons, they're on my list!
I've got the H&R springs. Work well with the oem dampers but only if the dampers are in good health. At your mileage, if you're assuming the dampers are original it'd be wise to do the dampers at the same time. If not, the shorter springs will quickly make the ride qualty deteriorate.
Good luck with the rust. I'm trying to find reports of a dealer that plays ball with this in my area. Not sure how much you've read up on it, but some dealers are cool, some not.
I've done the whole colour coding thing. It's a bit more involved than you'd like with the textured plastics as your bodyshop will need to make it smooth before the paint goes on. Which obviously costs labour. I did the whole lot (rear, sides and bought an ed30 front) and it looks bang on. I've replaced the rear with an R32 rear now. Looks even better.
@rashg60 this is still yours - we'll sort it soon.
As for ideas... R32/ed30 rear lights (same thing) look good on a TR car. You can go mad with power mods, suspension mods etc. It's a great car to mod. Have a look in the mods section on the site for a bit of inspiration.

17" Monzas (non diamond cut) were standard. 18" diamond cut were a factory option.
Gmac:
So a couple more jobs done on the car....
Did the PCV valve and gasket....
Changed out the cam follower on the fuel pump, old one looked fairly worn! :drinking:
S800BRN:
Solid effort pal!
Easy enough job on the cam follower?
I got a pal to do mine when I was offshore.
