Faz's Black GTI SOLD - Now a Shadow Blue GTI! Stage 1 complete
fazi123:
So just to leave you with how my engine bay looked while I had the ITG with large filter on the car
I should hopefully have my new intake next week and will hopefully give the bay some much needed elbow grease cos it's filthy at the moment!
fazi123:
So I purchased some S3 brakes recently to improve my stopping power after my remap!
Obviously I couldn't have them looking the way they were so I had given them to a cousin who loves all these jobs!
Some progress shots
Roughed up ready to paint:
first coat complete:
Some more general photos during the paint session:

These ones should do the trick mate. I've not yet received mine so I can't give you an exact part number - Sorry!. They are HEL ones though.
I should get them some point this week so I'll update the thread with the details as and when I do :happy2:

I had a mk5 a few years ago (as you may have noticed! lol). I moved into an ST after the GTI as I figured I'll try one of them out. I then moved into an Audi A3 TDI Sline (was for sale on here) but I couldn't get on with a diesel. So the hunt for another GTI began and here I am back to where my first venture into a performance hatch started - the MK5 GTI!
So the new (to me) is an 06 Shadow Blue GTI. It has a pretty high spec from standard and I'm glad I held out for this one in the end.
Spec is as follows :
Bi-xenon headlights
Electric sunroof
Heated folding mirrors
18" Diamond cut monzas
Cloth interior
Cruise control
Auto dimming rear view mirror
MFSW
Electric drivers seat
Rear parking sensors
I've owned the car for just over a month and in that time I figured I'd get a few things done.
1. Full Service (it didn't need it, but I like to do one whenever I get a new motor) including all fluids (brake etc)
2. New Cam follower (the old one didn't look half as bad as I was expecting)
3. Timing belt + water pump service
4. DSG Service - VW also noticed the coil packs hadn't been replaced so did them for free too!
5. New main thermostat (it wasn't holding the temp at 90)
Anyway heres a pic (from the advert) - Will take LOADS more when the weather improves (And I can be bothered to wash it!)
Hope you like it!

Love the colour mate. Can't wait to see a few pics of it. Good idea upgrading the brakes you done a good job with them. I had a set of R32 front brakes on my old 2.0 TSI Scirocco. They certainly make the difference. Must look into getting an upgrade on them next... I'll post a few pics of my ed35 soon especially when I get your ITG fitted
