BD's Black 3 Door GTI
bad devotions:
Hey all,
So, i wasn't too sure about creating one of these as i am not a modder as such and haven't really modded a car in any way shape or form. But when i look at my car i've made a few tweaks here and there and would like to do some more. I am not in any great hurry and won't be rattling through my list as quick as some others on here, but there you are.
I am going to keep this first post as a where i am now post and include a list of stuff i'd like to do/have done. So, here goes.
Latest Pics [09.01.2017]
Upgrades/tweaks i have done...
- GFB DV+
- ECU remap
- RCD 510 DAB + 7N0 gateway
- cherry red hazard switch
- chrome tipped window/mirror switches + new arm rest grab handle things
- Sonny Boy rear window blinds (poor mans window tinting!)
- MKVII GTI gear knob
- GTI foot rest plate
- Depo Projectors + 35w 5k HID kit
- Polo stubby aerial
- ED30/R32 rear lights (done! not pictured)
- A4 Exhaust tips (not pictured)
- super pro anti-lift kit
- MDI Armrest kit
- 18" Black TTRS wheels
Stuff i'd like to do
- Lower engine mount - http://www.vibra-technics.co.uk/vw/golf_jetta_bora_vento_mkvvi/463/VAG520M/bottom_engine_mount_subframe_mount_20r32
- VWR shocks and Eibach Sportline springs... maybe, still not decided.
- E30 front and rear colour coded splitter/valance
- US grill
- open fog grills
- mk6 MFSW
- cruise control
- mk6 heater controls
Not sure i want to go down the path of new exhaust plus CAI. I might do that, but i've read mixed things about induction kits/open filters so i might park that one. pre-cat delete is something i'd like to get done, but it'll probably mean getting a map done again so again might park that for now too.

old....
New! :)
From looking at the pics, it seems the mkvii gear knob is still sitting a little too high so just need to trim a little more of the metal rod underneath.
i bought my mk7 gear knob from this guy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/gtd_stuur
and followed this guide to install: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,100626.0.html
bad devotions:
When i bought the car it had the standard Halogen lights on it. The NSF (left) headlight had some yellow tinge to it and was quite fogged up. At the time didn't realise that it's possible to polish this out and as a result i bought some projectors and a HID kit.
I since tried polishing up the old headlight and made a right hash of it! Doesn't help that i don't have a machine polisher, but hey ho, it ended up on eBay anyway :D

Last post from me today otherwise i'll be accused of spamming :D lol!
a cheeky shot from when i had it remapped. V12 did a good job and i am happy with the result, but it's a shame i have no idea of the current power output. It would be nice to know.
And finally, these are the wheels i am thinking of getting. I had to photoshop the car black as originally it was grey.
