My Jetta TDI
Tank:
Yeah painted it myself with a few cans. If you are planning to paint it, I would get a thick filler primer and give it plenty of coats until its smooth. I left the texture in and although it looks alright, it's not that great close up.

Nice to see another Jetta on here - 312mm brakes off a GTi are a good start on the brakes (same calipers & pads) just need 312mm discs and different carriers.
200bhp is easily do-able! I'm upto 185 on a PD140 with just a map!
Good luck with the mods!
Stanipkiss:
Very nice job on the parts!
Blue actually works on the silver car :happy2:
If you ever want to sell your mudflaps let me know!!

I looked into it but from what I'm told s3 brakes wont fit under 17's so its £500 for the brakes then the same again at least for new wheels, but i could get the gti brakes with yellow stuff pads for between £200 to £300.

Hey bud. S3 stoppers do fit under 17s. I would not bother with the upgrade to 312s and instead go straight to the S3/R32 units.
I have 17 x 7.5 ET56 at the front and have around 10mm caliper to wheel on the side, about 15mm rear spoke to caliper, and about 4mm caliper to wheel weight.
You can see a pic here and here
Car is coming along nicely bud, hoping to see some good progress. Not sure on tuning of the CRs, the PD140s eat turbos so you need to watch out on them, hopefully the CR ones are a bit stronger! If it has a DPF get that removed and it'll feel like a whole new car along side a remap!

Im going upto 312mm brakes as they are a cheap upgrade compared to r32/s3 brakes. Only need the carriers and new discs. Got mine for £100ish
