Hryszko's #2 Mk5 GTi

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hryszko:
Close up shots of my new pressed plates, I also used some Auto Finesse trim reviver and have to say i'm incredibly impressed!! All of my plastics are now a lovely shade of black.



The car has also been in today for a good full service, including a cam follower change and an ABS sensor replacement.

Turns out the Cam follower was pretty worn...

Hryszko:
Couple more updates.. some bigger, some smaller!

My GTi seat inserts arrived from China yesterday.. have to admit, I don't know why they didn't do something like this from factory? They make quite a big difference when you open the door.



Before...



After...



When I bought the car it had a Parrot kit installed, unfortunately it didn't want to link up to my phone and it was incredibly bodged into place, someone had actually drilled it into the A pillar of the car, it wasn't secure and didn't work.. set to taking this out yesterday too, I was genuinely shocked at the amount of wires and the amount of cable ties that were holding it all into place haha. Luckily, it's all out now and will shortly be replacing my headunit for a Bluetooth double DIN anyway..



Also, if anyone is looking for a subtle alternative to a phone-holder, I found this on Amazon and have to say I am very very impressed with the quality of it. It works by sticking a magnetic plate into the back of your phone case, and then subsequently sitting on the little circle magnet which is attached through the air-vents, I was sceptical at first but having been giving it some round the country roads yesterday and not once did it move, i'm suitably impressed!





Finally, in other news.. My Ram-Air filter induction kit will arrive this morning to replace my broken engine cover and standard air box, i'll be looking to get that fitted either tonight or over the weekend so will update you on that once its done. The car in general is driving so much nicer after having a full service, it feels smooth, power delivery is good, really enjoying being back in a MK5!

Weekend plans:

- Fit the new induction kit and piping
- Remove the lower grill & spray gloss black to match the top grill
- Full wash and detail

On order currently:

- R8 Coil Packs
- R8 Oil Cap
- Uprated PCV
- Open Fog light grills

On the lookout for:

- Suspension setup, preferably something like Eibach Springs 20-30mm & Bilstein Dampers.. If anyone knows of anyone selling these let me know.

Those GTI inserts are lovely. I've had some for so long that I've forgotten that they weren't in there when I bought the car.

They were one of the first things I ordered (because I know they take nearly a month to arrive haha) they are so nice and for a fiver you can't really go wrong.

Amazing they didn't put something in from factory, the insert looks like they were going to.. then forgot  :signLOL:

Sessions:
Very nice looking car with some subtle mods. Like the inserts too. :happy2:
