need to post some pics up.  Have normal GTi in this colour with the Monza II's

It looks fantastic and the two really go well together.  Only problem is it shows up dirt and marks really easy but once cleaned it looks fab

Thanks!  Just some additional bits to put on my car...can't wait!!!

Bits are... side skirts, front and rear valance, milltek exhaust...

I'm now already pondering if I need should start upgrading engine and suspension mounts... got to minimise engine movement and the dreaded wheels bobbing during extreme drag strip acceleration.

Any suggestions/ideas?

are they factory tints mate? also have you got coilovers on it now? looks just right height  :party:
Title: Re: Blue Graphite Thread
Post by: xxx_mojo_xxx on April 07, 2009, 09:55:50 pm
Didn't go for the factory tints.  They only do the rear three windows...besides I got all the windows tinted with a hundred quid to spare in comparison to the factory option - I think it looks better all round.

Only downside was that I had to witness the tinters strip my car from inside to get to the windows... it was a traumatic experience seeing your 1 month old car go through "open heart surgery".

Anyway, tints are 30% (smoke) and Eibach Sportline springs to lower the car...  those springs are one of the best things I ever did...oh yeah...and I got the geometry of the wheels changed as well.

Golfs typically come with the wheels "towing in".  Had the set up changed to push traction to the front wheels and reduce understeer.

Thanks mate... basically I got every factory installed option except the iPod connector and cruise control...  (apologies for being a show-off)

On a different note, I'm totally hooked on "pimping my whip" - if I was to be honest, it's scary the amount of time I spend on this forum  :popcornsoda:

Thanks guys :D

VC - Most of the pics are available in high res on my flicker album for this car:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16818590@N08/sets/72157620441401731/
Click on 'All sizes' above the pic you're keen on.

Mojo - Most of the pics get a bit of sharpening and a touch of levels work just to knock off any highlights or bring out detail in the shadows.
But the bounced light in the underground carpark does give some pretty cool effects on its own, so very little was done there.
I sometimes add a little bit of vignetting to focus your attention a bit, but they are usually left alone - I bracket in-camera a lot to get the right exposure (don't trust the LCD on the back of the cam)

I've got a GT TDI in this colour, at first I wasn't 100% but once I saw it in the flesh I wanted it badly.

Only problem is I now want to change the alloys for a set of Monzas and it seems every local set I see are either kerbed to bit or have been refurbed in another colour!  Personally I think it has to be silver wheels on this colour, I think a darker colour (especially black) would clash.

I had some black Monza's on my graphite blue and it looked ok. I've seen one with anthracite colour and that looked really good as well. It's all personal choice.

Yeah, I posted this and then went on Facebook and someone was selling some glossy black monzas with a photo of them on a Graphite Golf and my opinion changed haha, also anthracite was my second choice if I couldn't find a nice set of silver alloys.

My 2009 GTi. Posting from Dublin, Ireland.

I've had a 2015 GTD, 2015 GTi and now this (the repayments were much better  :grin:)

Mods include the dynamic indicators, shark fin aerial (which i'm trying to sort out) and simple wind deflectors. No real itch to change the wheels, as they scrub up so nice and easy.

Paintwork needs some attention, as do the tail pipes  :ashamed:

Would love to have the cash to have the side skirts and rear bumper done, but with the colour of the car they don't stand out too much in black.
