My New MK5 GTI
Rippers:
Nice start with some positive ideas.
Mines also an early one. Check out my build thread for ideas :happy2: I've done a lot of the mods you talk about.
Enjoy and welcome aboard.
bad devotions:
bang tidy that. I so need to be me some springs of some sort! (best colour too :P)
Palmer02:
Nice, I'm picking up a 06 plate tomorrow :happy2:
Vader:
Just gave the car it's first clean since picking it up. I've been dreading it as you always find something wrong that you didn't spot before! I'll let the pics do the talking...
I took a few pics of the niggles I plan to sort. Mostly just wear and tear..
As you can see the interior handles have taken a bit of a beating in their lifetime, as have the switches. Replacements will be with me this week :)
Rear badge is a right mess. Unsure what to do with it just yet. Also, you might have noticed that the "GTI" badge is in an odd place on my car. Didn't notice this until I parked next to another gti the other day. Really bugging me now. I might try reposition them but I don't think they will go back on very well so might need to replace them.
I also have some melted plastic (I think) stuck to my rear bumper. I'm really not sure how to get it off, tried picking at it but its pretty solid. Also it looks like someone has had a go at getting it off before me and taken some paint with it....
Exhaust tips are fubar too but I'll be replacing the entire system at some point so I'll try put up with them!
Cracked mirror cap too, didn't notice this when I bought it. (I dunno how I missed it) Will be ordering new ones this week possibly carbon fibre ones.
After cleaning the car up the standard wheels have grown on me, so I may not bother replacing them after all. Leaves money for other things then!
FrameSet:
Looks smart, good plans so far. I've got a Ramair induction kit (not the oversized) and can't fault it. Almost identical to my mates revo and half the price!
