My Mk5 2.0 GT

(1/20) > >>

boardyuk:
Hey everyone I'm Adam currently in Great Yarmouth but from Reading originally. This is my first car and I'm pretty new to anything car related so please bare with me. I've got a fair few things I want to do with the Mk5 cosmetically, but going to wait until a GTI is on the cards before I really start messing with performance...maybe. The car itself is a 2004 and as far as I'm aware the engine is as standard as it comes 2.0 FSI near enough 150bhp apparently. Nothing else has been altered on the exterior (I don't think) and I'm trying to keep it as standard looking as I can.

Internal kit spec when I got it -

Full leather interior
Standard wheel
RCD 300 Head unit (Nasty!)
6-disk changer
Bury bluetooth phone kit
Full climate control
Heated seats
Electric sunroof (Can't work out why when you have climate control..)

Changed already -

Replaced the pathetic RCD 300 with an MFD2 (Upgraded)
Installed an XCarKit iPod dock in the glove box (Removed)
Personal plates (Absolute nightmare!)

Initial list of mods -

Mk5 GTI flat bottom wheel (Done-Upgraded)
Highline cluster (Done-Upgraded)
Cruise control (Done)
RNS 510 to replace the MFD2 (Done)
Bluetooth module for RNS (with phonebook feature ideally) (Done)
Replace interior bulbs with white LEDs (Done)

Updated list (Page 7 19/2/15) -

Mk6 flat bottom wheel (Done)
Xenon projector lights (Done)
Mk6 Reversing camera (Done)
Mk6 Highline white cluster with blue needles (Done)
ABS pump upgrade (Done)
Door warning lights (Done)
Mk6 Climate panel (Done)
TPMS (Done)

Still to do -

Armrest MDI from CD changer
Full OPS
17"/18" GTI / R32 wheels
Harder suspension (possibly lowered slightly)

Just after giving it a good clean while visiting my parents in Reading.


Most recent pics from this weekend while after sorting the plates.










Just after ripping out the RCD 300 sorting all the cabling out for the XCarLink and Bury kit.


MFD2 installed along with the XCarLink hidden away in the glove box.

You're in luck......The forum Guru, Eddie-NL just happens to live near you and will be able to sort out all of this :-

GTI flat bottom wheel
Highline cluster
Cruise control
RNS 510 to replace the MFD2
MDI to replace the changer in the armrest
Bluetooth module for RNS (with phonebook feature ideally)

For you as an when you need it.

Great first car.

Oh that's just brilliant luck thanks for pointing that out Biano44! I'm hoping to get some of it sorted this month if I can before my trip down to see my parents again so will need to see if I can get in touch with Eddie somehow.

Thanks, so far I'm impressed with the car, my dad's had a Mk4 GTI TD, Mk5 R32 DSG, and now has a Mk6 GTD so I knew roughly what to expect from it but had no idea how nice they are to drive, so different to the Kia and Polo I learnt in.

Sjw_Vw:
Very nice and great colour :happy2:. Look forward to seeing what you do with it :grin:

boardyuk:
Thanks :smiley: Just out of curiosity is this Shadow Blue? I love the colour but never know for sure which blue it is and I might just end up looking for a GTI or GT Sport front bumper, looks so much nicer than the one on it now  :signLOL:
