My g/f said she had bought me a xmas present in 2004 a 2.0 gttdi-it came at the time with every mod possible ie full leather,6 disc and 8 speakers-the winter pack and the 17" estoril alloys..

this is the only picture i have in standard spec

took a 4hr drive to see Chris and get the alpine ine s900r fitted today--when Chris removed my old header unit (alpine 320 with sat nav & ipod interface) he was shocked to see how a top Company that was in sunderland had wired up and botched the install..Chris reconnect the wires and installed the new unit..the bonus bit was the buttons on my mk6 steering wheel works now as well...its a excellent bit of kit now i have got the hang of it---i went for this unit over the rns10 because i am running to amps and a sub in the boot--also averaged 56mpg so all in all a good day for me

Is the Hazard Warning switch easy to fit? I got mine delivered the other day.

Looks great! With your exhaust how much was it and how different does it sound? My standard exhaust is coated in black gunk so might end up changing it.

just did the outside ones--MATEYGUV did the mod on the bulb holders i supplied him but i mentioned that i will see if i could find a way around coding the yellow bulb warning light out onthe dash but me and Viking couldn't find or do it so send them the holders back to matey guv who will do the full conversion
They do look alot better the full circle mod

I've known the car for some time but only now I discover your build thread.
I have to say that your car is lovely and that it is one of the best cars on the forum, IMHO.  :congrats:
Usually most of the non GTI owner go for the GTI look. I find it great and an inspiration to other non GTI owners that you kept the OEM front bumper but improved it by a great deal by adding the Votex spoiler. With the other mods (wheels, brakes, etc) I think your car is quite complete.
Again I think the car looks AWESOME and I would like to congratulate you on the progress so far!  :notworthy:
The more I look on other member's ride the more I find really great builds such as yours. This is one of the reasons I like this forum so much  :smiley:

Maybe you can measure the clearance you have in the middle of the car to see if the side skirts would clear of not. :confused:

The perfect side skirts for your Golf are from Votex and they're chunkier than the ones from the GTI/R32. :\

As I have some inside knowledge of these, they are standard reflector style HB4 ones off a GTI rather than the earlier projector style H11 ones which were off very early (pre-2006 I think) Mk5s.

Hope that helps!

These were factory fit on my mk5 GTI.  When I took them off to replace with some projector fogs, I had to make a couple of convertors from HB4 to H11 so the projectors would plug straight in.  Something similar to these.  If they don't fit your existing loom, it is easily solved as you would just need the reverse of these cables!

@maxitrol (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=164) Just looked through your build thread, great work! I'm a fellow TDI owner, but building towards a GTB2260 upgrade.

One thing I found interesting in your thread is the s3 gear selector... did this make a real difference was it worth doing?

Also I find my changes from 1st to 2nd are pretty clunky, it never crunches but it's not smooth like all the other changes. Is this just a common problem that us Mk5 owners have to live with, I would assume the s3 selector wouldn't help with this, as it seems only slower gear changes help.

Cheers, Stu.
Title: Re: maxitrols build thread 8/3/2016
Post by: Andy on April 11, 2016, 03:39:06 pm
the s3 selector is a good upgrade as it is less travel through the gears.The gear change should be as smooth as the others between 1st to 2nd.Check the cables and the bushes and the linkages

The car is lowered on kW coil overs and the alloys are

Hi, just read through your thread. Car looks amazing and loving all the work and detail that has gone into it!!

A couple of questions if you don't mind - where did you get the wheels refurbished as I live in Newcastle (well South Shields) and will potentially need mine doing, not that I've actually got the car yet but hopefully buying one this week!
And also, the detailing you've had done looks amazing, are they a local firm? One last one. The switches that you got (lights, electric windows etc.) are they the cheap ones on eBay from China or genuine parts?

Thanks, James.

Andy defo take the easy bolt on parts off like the brakes.

to swap the forge brakes to the r32 ones is easy. don't be daft and sell the tdi with those brakes on it! you won't get any more money!

put the r32 ones on your tdi .

Those wheels look awesome in any Golf! But for going over potholes the Omanyts are really strong so you don't really have to fear much when driving with them. Mine are 17'' and have taken a lot with no issues over the last 7 years. :wink:

This is closest pic I could find. Not CK but the shape isn't that much different.
