That Japanese GTI Wagon ! BIG UPDATE
OLLIE_JETTA_MK5:
Hi everyone , not posted for a bit as been busy on the wagon so here’s a nice little update for you !
Firstly I sourced a genuine Votex rear wing from the US , super rare and it’s been painted tomorrow but a little trial fit and it looks perfect!
They don’t do a black headlining for the estate so I sourced a hatch one and used what parts I could and dyed the rest and again it’s turned out really well , I just need to paint one last part that wouldn’t transfer from the hatch . Felt the cream really let down the interior look …
Next up I fitted some GTI pedals , foot rest and seat inserts
Next was a pretty big one
Sourced some 3D scirocco highline clocks from a 2018 model , flat bottom wheel , discover media pro , mk6 climate panel and cherry red hazard switch to really bring the interior up to date
Fitted my racing line 365mm 6 pot big brake kit and TTRS 310mm rears
Also fitted 3” decat down pipe , evoms induction kit and trimmed the engine cover to suit
Had the CH-R powder coated in satin bronze
Thanks for looking :)

Looks tip top inside and out :happy2:
Seen a few people fitting newer style clocks and steering wheel, is there a lot involved to fit/get it working properly?
GVK:
Amazing update, yes interested in the clock change too.
Mekaniko:
Looking nice, very good upgrades on that variant.
I'm always asking the same.. what about the brake pedal feel with the new calipers? Because I hate the OEM pedal feel on my MK5 as it is too soft and I'm used to the modern VAG's.

I recently had EBC orange stuff race pads and a fluid change to 5.1 and my pedal is quite firm now compared to what it was, brakes are strong for stock 312s.
