Golf GTi MK5 06' - Black - 27,000 Miles.
Hey Guys, This will be my first Build Thread as i'm pretty new to the forum.
I Have been In Love with Mk5 Golf GTI's for a long time, and the time had come to buy myself one after a Long Awaited saving Period!  i decided to make a Build thread, for both my personal Log of all the little bits that i do to the car over time, and also to share with others alike, gather and share new ideas! :happy2:
Any opinions and ideas are welcome so Post Away, its always nice to hear peoples feedback!  :jumping:
Big Dreams and ideas with this one want to create something different, and something that represents me and the things that i Love about this car. ill keep you posted along the way on its journey to show Car Worthy Condition!  :grin:

Recent Cambelt and WaterPump done and A Full Service. as it says above i have just clocked over 27,000 miles after a good drive up to Norwich last weekend. (I Am from Kent) it was a Solid 2/3 hour drive, but it gave the car a good run and was a pleasure to drive,  It is a Manual Box too!

A Few Specs:
-Climate Control
-17" Diamond Cut Monza's
-Auto Wipers
-Auto Lights
-Tartan Interior Which i would take over Leather any day.
the Condition is immaculate to say the least!
And all of the other usual bits and pieces too many to list.
The only downside is there is no sunroof! but with the spec, condition and mileage i couldn't say no!

Get some piccy's up! What's the plan for the car then? Or are you going to see what comes around?

I'm assuming it will be on air?  :innocent:

FamousGTI:
Photos are going up as we Speak Mate. Yes, i have got a few big plans, i hope to get it on air for Next years Show Season! in the mean time some smaller touches, like:

- Exhaust Turbo back system (Done)
- Re-Map (Done)
- Smoothed US Chrome front grill (Done)
- Oem Touchscreen Headunit (Done)
- Ed30 front Splitter or Votex - (Still Looking for one!!)
- R32 rear bumper (Done)
- Shorter Ariel (Done)
- GTI Seat Inserts (Done)
- Key Emblem stickers (Done)
- Valeo LED Rear Tails (Done)
- Glass wiper Blank Insert (Done)
- Xenon headlights
- I Want to pick up VAGCOM at some point giving me access to turning on the DLR indicators
- LED Bulbs all round, in and out.
- Mk6 Steering wheel
- Mk6 Edition 35 Gear Knob and Gator

Once i get the car looking how i want it too, i can then start branching out into performance Mods, it has plenty of power for me to have fun with at the moment, after all i want it to be a show car. that's not saying i wont be doing plenty of performance bits in the future though, starting with the exhaust and Re-Map.

For now, Work on the surface Mods until i get the Air fitted late summer; Hopefully in time to show it off at Editon38, and then it is on to wheels!  :grin:

Went out and got some photos when there was a gap in the weather today. Needs a clean but i think they came out okay. Also did some photoshopping' to get a feel of how it will look once bagged for next show season. What do you think?  :grin:

I will Try and get some more photos up during the week, Just waiting on some Last minute cleaning gear to get it looking its best. snow-foam lance, jet wash and a good set of Meguiars + Auto-finesse should do the trick!  :evilgrin: :laugh:
