MkV GT TDI 170 DSG - Blue Graphite [Sunday Clean]
Shoduchi:
Nice and clean GT Sport. Love the colour!
The GTI/GTI Ed. 30 front spoiler would be a good addition. Colour-coded spoilers and side skirts would also look great. :smiley:
Cheers
MikLSP:
Thanks :happy2:
I don't think I want to colour code the skirts, I actually like the black accents. Will probably get the upper half of the rear valance done at some point but it's not a priority for now.
I keep meaning to do a bit more with the carbon vinyl and look at getting a new steering wheel
MikLSP:
NOt much going on in the way of changes at the moment but after a good Sunday clean and polish I took a little trip up to Jubilee Tower for a couple of new photos :happy2:

It wasn't as difficult as I'd been led to believe and some of the guides on various forums are a little over the top, I didn't need to remove the whole mirror adjustment mechanism for example.
I think these are a mod which compliments other aspects of the car more than the actually stand out in their own right, definitely go well with the GTi headlamps and cherry tails.
Also, I am a little disappointed with the fitment of these, they are just not quite the right size and don't sit as flush as the originals; there's a bit of a gap between the wrap around end and the mirror housing for example. Maybe the InPro ones are a better fit than these from Germany?

I have a 2007 (57 plate) GTD 170 not DSG though and my headlights are already the GTI dark ones that you fitted so i presume these must have been an option ? I am loving the work you have done so far, can you send me a link the where you bought the smoked 'windicators' from, as you say they compliment the darker headlights really well :) Keep up the good work

Cars after 56 should all be badged as GT Sport on the front (2.0 TDI on the back I think) and came with the dark headlights and gloss black grille insert as standard.
Mine was the single year that came badged as GT front and back and had the silver lights and body coloured grille.
I think some other options such as cruise control and the convenience pack may have become standard on the GT Sport as well.
The mirror lenses were from goingfast.com via their ebay item. You can either buy through ebay as normal or contact them on there and they will send you a direct buy link at a discounted price (as it saves them on ebay fees), which is what I did :happy2:
