Waynes Tornado Red GTI
« on: March 14, 2010, 10:37:29 pm »
Hi guys,

Some of you may have seen I added some pictures of my car (from its For Sale Ad) in the New Members section the other day, so as promised i took some pictures of my own earlier today. 237miles done so far and loving it..  :happy2:

Standard spec:
2006 MKV Golf GTI, 17" Denver rims, Interlagos cloth, thats about it... :)

Plans are:
18" Monza II's or BBS CH's,
with H&R lowering springs,
Maybe some subtle mod's, not sure what as of yet, but no doubt you guys will be giving me ideas and making me spend my money.. lol


















Regards,
Wayne

Lovely car Wayne, saw it on UsedcarsNI.

I'm looking at buying one in a few months.
I would have gone for this one, if I was able to buy one right now! :evilgrin:
Was priced very well, and looks immaculate.

Health to drive!

Small up date guys, I've ordered a set of H&R Sport springs for the Golf, should lower it 30mm so that will take some of the height out of the arch gap I hope.
Should have the springs before the end of the week so i'll keep you posted... :)

Lovely Wayne.

You have the front number plate holder off and the grill smoothed? DIY job?

Well i got the H&R 30mm Sport springs fitted last night and i have to say i'm very happy with them, the car dropped about 20/25mm straight away and i was told once they settle, they might drop a little bit more. Very happy with the handling and comfort they give.

A few pictures for an idea or before and afters.
Before


After




Also on my travels i picked up a set of 18" BBS CH rep's. I wanted to wait on the springs to get fitted before i fitted the wheels, so 18 hours later the wheels where fitted...  :pomppomp:

Some more pictures:












Thanks,
Wayne  :driver:
