My New MK5 GTI
bad devotions:
have a look on eBay for grab handles and also you can get chrome tipped window switches - they totally clean the inside up. Also, for a quick and dirty fix on the exhaust tips, again search eBay for Audi A4 exhaust tips/sleeves. They cover up nicely until you get a replacement.
have you put the rear spacers on?

Get the interior grab handles from the dealer/TPS, you'll be surprised how much cheaper they are compared to eBay! I got my MK6 chrome switches from AliExpress and they work fine and illuminate correctly in the dark, plus it's not pricey too for the set (link).

I'll be getting them through TPS from work so shouldn't be too expensive. My switches are actually on the way to me. I'll look into the exhaust sleeves though as mine are terrible and a little rotten. The rear spacers are on now, looks pretty chunky at the rear end now. I might go 15mm on the front too. Dropping the brake upgrade for now as the discs and pads are that far gone I've had to get replacements. Didn't have the cash for an upgrade.

Looks good! Plenty of jobs to keep you busy and you'll enjoy every minute of it.
You're welcome to have a flick through my build for any ideas since we have many of the same faults i.e. handles, badge etc.

A little update, no new pics just yet though.
I ordered some GTI seat handle inserts from ebay and fitted those. Nice little mod. I've got a new rear badge/boot handle to fit. Just ordered a GFB DV+ and a Superpro lower engine mount insert. They will be fitted tomorrow along with a brand new vac pump too as the current one is leaking oil. That will be it for this month probably as it also had new Brembo discs and pads upfront. Annoyingly my order for new window switches has been cancelled as all their stock was damaged. :confused:
Hopefully if it doesnt snow this weekend I'll give it a clean and make a start on tidying up the paintwork. Panel by panel :P
