My new baby Golf 2005 GTI with R32 rear
northernmunkey1:
Hi members just recently bought my new baby GTI. It comes with full leather interior, xenons and in car iPod docking station with the old style connector dohhhh.
It also has a R32 rear end and a twin exhaust system professionally installed by Power Flow and also an ITG induction kit which i don't have a clue if it's any good or what does it do. A real newbie to the scene. Hopefully one of the members can explain what the add on's do in plain english. Drives like a dream but needs a little TLC and find out the fault with the cruise control as it's not engaging.
I have already installed a new third brake light as the previous was not working at all. Had to hack it out after watching a couple of videos on Youtube and change the light switch as it was flaking and a distraction in the cabin. Just need to replace the door console switch panel and switches and the rear boot lid emblem. The thing is bubbling. Also bought a new original GTI badge and now thinking should have I bought an R32 badge lol?
I am not trying to pass it off as an R32.
More photos to come and hopefully make some new friends on the way. Always admired and been a fan of the Golf GTI now it's reality.

Welcome to the forum!
Car looks smart - looks like it's got a few supporting mods on there already too!
I imagine it will have been subject to a remap having had an exhaust system and air intake fitted. I think sticking with the GTI badge is a better idea as otherwise it'll definitely look like it's trying to be a R32! GTI and proud :pomppomp:

Thanks for the warm welcome EddieFosts. No bud it's not been remapped well that's what the seller stated. I think it's got a enough power at the moment. Not even sure what remapping would do or cost.
Regarding the badge the front GTI badge was missing so it had to be a GTI, loud and proud. A mate at work asked why I didn't get an R32 badge to replace it I said "It would be fake and I didn't think off it lol" Now not sure if I should have bought one?
Pesky jones:
I think he may be referring to the rear badge being an R badge. Swap that for a GTI :happy2: RE: the R32 bumper and exhaust - a lot of people like that look, dont worry about looking like something your're not. GTI's are better anyway :wink: The wheels, front end etc all say GTI. Nice car bud!
