Dom's Tornado Red Gti - A bit of detailing
dom069:
Hi everyone!
I've just bought this from a current forum member, the spec taken from the advert:
2005 VW Golf GTi MK5 3 door in Tornado Red
• 63k Miles and only 1 Previous owner
• Factory fitted Xenons
• Full Service Incl. Cambelt and water pump @ 59,000 miles
• Full VW service history apart from the last one which was done by an independent
• Loads of other work including a gearbox rebuild and new clutch under warranty by VW 18 months ago
• Latest revision D/V, cam follower and temp sensors/thermostats replaced.
The modifications are:
• Bluefin Stage 1 with handset
• Complete R32 Brake set up (Front and Rear)
• Cat back non res Miltek Exhaust
• Pre cat removed
• MK6 Golf R Multi function steering wheel with working controls
• MK6 Golf Gear knob and Gaiter
• Bumpers and Skirts Professionally colour coded
• BSH Catch Can
• MK6 'slow close' Tailgate handle
• Armrest
• R32 rear lights
• Black grill badge
• Powerflex Dog mount Bush
I took a bit of a gamble as I stuck the deposit down without seeing the car, however it was every bit as good as it looks in the pics!

The 240 mile drive back from Portsmouth was a good way to give it a good test, the R32 brakes are awesome! I almost went through the windscreen the first time I used them :evil:
Got it home and squeezed it onto the drive, the neighbours must think we're mad! My girlfriend has just bought a new car so she has 2 on the drive already, now I have 2 as well :grin:
Just about squeezed it on though:
I gave it a quick scan for fault codes and it threw three up, one for the interior lights (the fuse has gone), one for the sunlight sensor on the dash and one for the alarm horn. I haven't set the alarm off to see if the horn sounds but I suspect the horn needs to be replaced. As for the sunlight sensors....not too sure what to do!
Anyway, I set the indicators as DRLs with Vagcom:
And I love xenons!

Did a couple of other bits yesterday, the alarm horn doesn't work so I need to get another one ordered.
When the Mk6 steering wheel was fitted, Lee fitted a cruise control stalk at the same time but forgot to fit the ECU wire so I've got one on ordered and took the trim off ready to fit and then code it:
I also took one of the tailpipes off to clean, refitted it so it sticks out a little less:
dom069:
I'll keep this as up do date as I can, I've got lots of plans for it but it won't be a quick project.

Really like the mk6 steering wheel mate :happy2:
And projectors just finish the front of the GTI's must look into a set for myself. Keep up the good work :smiley:
