woahnowboys' measly 1.6 FSI on S Class wheels.
Dave7692:
Cheers for the link I'll be picking those up :happy2:
Might have to see if I can get a snow foam lance to fit out pressure washer, I don't want to have to fork out for a new washer + the lance too.

As I've said before, most of my money is in my MK1 cabby at the moment, so here's my thread for that:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,81761.0.html :happy2:
But I have been getting along slowly with the MK5.
First of all I finally got rid of this steering wheel.
At the moment, I have no airbag for my new wheel, but that'll be the first thing once the MK1 is back on the road. :happy2:
So this is what I'm faced with for now. :confused:
I plan on getting GTI seats at some point, so I thought I'd add some dark details to the interior to tie in with that.
First off is the fabric on the door cards, it's light grey, so I bought a black door card from a Jetta and swapped the fabric.
New handles and chrome switches are on the list too :signLOL:
Here's the result.. I'll take some before and afters at some point :drinking:
Did some more parking next to standard MK5s :happy2:
Then I got her into the MK1's garage while the MK1 was failing MOTs, and attempted a full detail.
I spent 3 hours doing the back, and couldn't handle any more, so I'll get round to that at some point. :party:
I went for a snow foam with Auto Finesse Avalanche, then some Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild shampoo, followed by a claying, a dual action polishing with Menzerna FG and Meguiars 205.. Just using the Meguiars up, but it's not bad stuff!
Then 2 layers of Poorboy's Black Hole glaze, and a layer of Autoglym EGP.
I'll add some layers of wax when the weather is decent, and I'll give the rest of the car this treatment the same time :drinking:
It was rainy, and I didn't get any pictures until I'd done a good few miles, but it looks a lot better after all that. :party:
Will get some good pictures when I clean her next.
Out of focus much?
One of my nightbreakers broke in the night, so I fitted some Nokya yellow high beams, I figured if I don't like them, I can always change back.
They're quite subtle, and you can only see the yellow from a certain height. I like. :smiley:
More on that steering wheel soon. :smiley:
woahnowboys:
Some of you may have seen that this was for sale a few months ago, as I had a strong fancying for an A8.
I decided to wait until an extra year's no-claims had built up before selling.
And then after months of neglect, I bought some wheels on impulse. :chicken:
Never seen them on a MK5 before, but they were very cheap, and much higher offset than the previous set so I thought I'd give them a go.
So since the last post, it's had the wheels, an airbag so I could finish fitting the Polo 6R wheel, R32 rear lights, a full service, and a 4 wheel alignment :drinking:
Pictures.
Needs to go lower badly, but the JOMs are bottomed out, and I can't find anything that'll go lower and suit the 50mm hubs.
So I've started collecting parts to swap to 55mm, with a slight brake upgrade, and some FK coilovers and new top mounts.
That will be happening in the next few weeks, hopefully the car will sit a lot better :happy2:

Love those alloys. Good going to break from the normal mods, very impressed with your car. :happy2:

Thanks! :smiley:
I hadn't really liked this car until recently, and I've had it about 18 months now. Probably going to take a little break from the MK1 and give this some more attention. :drinking:
