Alan's Reflex Silver GTi.
« on: March 16, 2011, 06:14:31 pm »
Hi guys,
Been a member for a while now, but never got round to putting a members ride thread up. Had the car since last August, decided to get a newer car after messing about with a couple of older vw's for a year or two. A mk1 gti with a 16v lump and a mk2 gti with a g60 installed:

My mk1:

My mk2:

Any way back to the Mk5, the car was when i first got it after a bit of a clean up:

I quickly changed the components for some Focal Access A1's, great speakers for the money and i also decided to run them off my Phoenix Gold amplifier to get the most out of them.  :happy2:

Then i got a bored of the stock ride height and decided to get some coilovers fitted. Went with some FK Highsports, supplied and fitted by Voodoo Motorsport.

Picked up a set of 18" Audi Speedlines which were powdercoated in red, however these didnt last too long though as i really wasnt too keen on them.

And onto how its currently sitting. Picked up a set of Audi Fat 5's a few weeks ago and have been running them since, really happy with them just need to get round to having them refurbished when i get a chance. Thinking of getting them redone in an anthracite finish.

Loving the fat 5s mate, personally I think colour coding would look great with them.
Have you got anymore of the mk2? Looks like a minter!!

Cheers for the comments guys. Loved the Lhasa Green on the mk1 and oak green is one of my favourite colours for the mk2, got a bit sick of green in the end though  :signLOL:

You'll definitely regret it trust me! I cant wait to get another, as much as i love my mk5 you really cant beat blasting around in a mk1 on a summers evening. I'd imagine its 10x better with a 20vt in the engine bay too  :driver:

Very nice list of motors there mate.
You sticking with the fat 5's? Have a silver 5 myself, and always thought of getting some of them for my winter wheels, or maybe chrome refurb on them.  :happy2:
