Shaun's GT TDI
shaunnorris7:
Will say hi again, although I have been on here since the back end of last year when I bought my mk5 I thought now is the time to start my build thread. I've always been into VW's as you can see....
Vento VR6 - one of the best cars I've owned!
Golf GTI 8v - sh*t car but it didn't look bad!
Passat V6 4-Motion - Nice but looked like a 4x4!
My 2nd Vento VR6 - This was near mint condition, wish I could have kept it as a second project!
First of my Passat estates, both were TDI sport models. This one was lovely!
After making a few quid off the first one I bought this and started to mod!
And then onto my mk5, full respray in steel grey. GTI bumpers, R32 rear lights and wheels. Dark GTI headlights with 6k HID kit, LED sidelights and interior lights and cree LED fog bulbs.
Needs lowering I know...

It's a GT TDI 140 but mapped to 175 (approx). I drive nearly 70 miles a day so the diesel suits me more as I can easily get 40-50 mpg.
It came with full heated leather, with drawers underneath. DVD player with built in BT and reversing camera and FBSW. I have since had re-trimmed along with a mk6 gear knob.
I have put a new genuine front grill on it as the old one had some broken tabs and wasn't sitting right..
Future plans are some Eibach street coilovers, fit the black roof lining what's currently in my garage. Rear R32 bumper with no cut outs which is currently on order and transfer the spoiler from this..
Andy:
Looking good Shaun

So here is my 'to do' list.......
Eibach coilovers (but may get springs for now)
Fit r32 spoiler
Fit r32 rear bumper
Buy ed30 front splitter or buy new bumper with one smoothed in
Fit black roof lining and shark fin aerial
Xenon style headlights
GTI/R32 highline clocks
Replace broken air box and battery tray
Fit k&n panel filter
Custom exhaust
Shoduchi:
You have a good car history already. :smiley:
I'm liking your plans except the K&N panel filter, it'll only give more noise and less well filtered air which isn't good for your turbo. Most panel filters even decrease performance.
I'd get the projectors headlights that really improves the front of the car.
Good continuation! :smiley:
