Hello! Bought my Mk5 1.9 Golf TDI Sport golf over a year ago now. Name is Chris and I live in Yateley! I thought it was about time I pulled my finger out my :booty: and wrote somthing!
Pretty much straight away got modding and realised the bonnet was covered in stone chips. So i got that done by VW ... £300 later (thanks Dad) It was perfect.
I got it done at the same time VW replaced my front wing under warranty for rust, pretty common on the MK5 platform. I also bought a bonnet bra that ive used once to help protect it :P Which I sold promptly after.

I got the car lowered on JOM coilies,

Sorry about the poor dark photo there but that was the only day i was free, and trying to clean the car in the sun is a PITA!

I did a few other cheapish mods, including going mental with a roll of carbon vinyl wrap as you can see....

I had an RNS510 in the car but it was broken, so out with that and back in with a new Sony HU, somthing i know well.

The back had far too much space and since they were maxed out on the JOM's i decided to get some FK's from a fellow forum member.

Thanks for reading so far. Back on the standard VW wheels for now over winter! Sitting much lower and level than before now on the FK's
Looking foward to the new year and should bring a lot more modding! :party:

Nice one Chris, like the look of your new wheels.

Nice one Chris, All this needs now is a Jetta front end! :P
Carbon wrapping on interior looks good, just done some in mine in gloss black but not updated with pictures yet. I can only dream of getting a build thread on here :signLOL:
Keep up the updates.

All in good time Chris, with the weather being so bad its hard keeping mine clean let alone getting mods finished. Most of my chrome is off the car for wrapping but the rubber is too cold to get it back on the car.
Are you mounting the plate back on the newly chromed grill or elsewhere on the front?

Yeah it does, cant wait to get it painted and re-chromed or whatever so its near perfect.

It itsnt to everyone's taste. I've fallen in love with it, and because the bumper is metalic, it looks like an R32 for some reason :P

As long as the end result is what your after who cares how its fitted! :happy2:
Cant see the colour differences in the pictures. Nice Xmas lights.
Are you getting a small front plate?
I bought a sticky on plate from ebay to stick to my bra, but not been brave enough to fit it yet. Bra only on for Mon-Fri motorway miles.
Keep the updates coming.

Thanks, I am thinking about a bike size 'pressed' plate, or just running my pressed plate with magnets... We shall see when its all together properly :laugh:
The colour diference is only noticable if your actuallt interested in cars, otherwise you probably wouldnt realise. Regardless, its getting painted.
Ive seen a smooth chrome grill from JOM german site:

Couldn't agree more. I want to do the skyline mod to my standard lights.... Possible anyone? :ashamed:
Also fit HID's maybe :innocent:

Its possible to do the "skyline mod" and there are some threads around here somewhere. Iv got a kit made up that i bought off someone but not fitted it yet!

Iv got edition 30 rears but i believe its easier on the standard rears. I dont fancy drilling into an expensive set of lights though!

Looks good bud, liking the chrome front tbh. What do the joms ride like, ive always found they've been great on other cars, well not as bad as you would expect for the money anyway. Thinking of getting some so i can save for air!

I found the JOM's to be very nice. I noticed a very harsh change in the ride when I changed to FK's, perhaps this was due to running a lot lower? :innocent:
The front springs knock a little and I believe (although I have not done this yet myself) a cure would be to sleave the top and bottom part of the springs. For their price I love them, wouldnt have chosen any different apart from the back not going low enough for my liking. :rolleye: Other people have had mixed opinions. :happy2:

loving the soft toys in the center of the dashboard :happy2:

Haha! Just thought the empty space was boring! They were rolling around in the top tray but moved them :grin:

Looks good bud, liking the chrome front tbh. What do the joms ride like, ive always found they've been great on other cars, well not as bad as you would expect for the money anyway. Thinking of getting some so i can save for air!
I found the JOM's to be very nice. I noticed a very harsh change in the ride when I changed to FK's, perhaps this was due to running a lot lower? :innocent:
The front springs knock a little and I believe (although I have not done this yet myself) a cure would be to sleave the top and bottom part of the springs. For their price I love them, wouldnt have chosen any different apart from the back not going low enough for my liking. :rolleye: Other people have had mixed opinions. :happy2:
Yeah the knocking seems to happen on all of the, after a couple of weeks/months! The shock comes loose inside so it just needs tightening again, my mates been running them on his leon for about 2 years, his go very low and he has room for lower and thats been the case with all of my previous experiences with them. Did you remove the helper?

He rides it that high due to being a daily, goes lower for shows
-
Well the fronts didnt have a helper spring... they still have about an inch of thread left. The rears were as low as possible and still with arch gap :( Would have been pointless removing the cups as the JOM ones are tiny!

Ahh ok i get you, maybe ill just 19" then i wont have to worry about the lows :laugh: cheers bud

That is indeed my paint code :wink: I wish I had got a white one as they are rare. Saw one on the way to work and my jaw hit the floor. But yes, it was the only one I test drove & it was the cleanest. I think I have improved it :ashamed:

I quite like Pearl Blue, but navy blue is my favourite colour anyway!
Didn't do much to mine aesthetically but looked ok (check pics in my sig).
Yep your car is coming on, I found that dark tinted headlights made a nice difference on this colour.

Have you took the rear adjusters out? I've heard you can get abit lower without them.

Omg I wanted to lower my rear a little as well but never thought about taking an adjustment out :laugh:
-
It's not the rear I'm unhappy with, it's the front. My rears have loads left on the back, I could easily tuck the tyre to the wheel rim.. the fronts are down as low as possible.

See I changed my back JOM's to FK's because the back wasnt low enough. My front has an inch of threads still showing... Il see what happens if their not seized :grin:

The shock bodies may or may not be the same but the springs are definitely different.
Rule of thumb is the FKs go lower but ride more harshly. The JOMs go low enough to actually look "low" and are more comfortable.

This is a nice read Chris.
Some xenon style headlamps will really set the front off too :D

Plan is to fit the splitter and wind them down some more. Maybe take out the rear adjuster & replace with the JOM one which is tiny :)

The back is on Fk's, and the front still had 1cm ( 5 threads or so ) to go down. But my engine would have been literally on the floor.

I might remove the adjuster from the rear as the FK one is quite big compared to the JOM one... MORE LOWS! :innocent:
Thanks for your comments :happy2:

Yeah like I said I'm happy with the rear, I got lots to go on there, it's the fronts I want to go lower.. I bet it's your springs are different, same part number probably just a manufacturing difference.

They are 215/35/18's I think :P Smallest 35's ive ever seen but im not complaining. There only cheap tyres but not to fussy as I wont be running them all the time.
It's getting there... I'm not 100% happy but will get those buts sorted, just need to get some decent wheels and get the skirts & rear bumper mounted.

Tailgate was straight from a GTI which i painted and smacked it on. I believe its a PITA to remove and stick on - Plus i wanted the GTI brake light... :happy2:
Looks great man, given me a few ideas for mine :happy2: :happy2:
I'm glad i could be of some inspiration @lewisako (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11510)! What you thinking?

Thanks mate :happy2: Need to find the time to fill this up with more pictures! :evilgrin:

Mines basic at the moment. Waiting for my team dynamics to turn up and it will be lowered on h and r spring. But liking the look of your front bumper. Think that'll be my next step.

Alright @xjay1337 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7542)..I agree it was about time I pulled my finger out and did some whoreing for you guys.
First things first was to get me sitting comfortably... Bought @th3_f15t (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=8969)'s old interior and steering wheel. Car is so much more comfortable to drive now and the GTI wheel is much more aggressive!

Pic for ref. not my actual interior. I've not managed any photo's yet.

I bought some wheels as the CH's were never meant to be 'show' wheels.

I have a few more mods up my sleeve and hope to keep the more updated. Will update you after the first show, ultimate dubs :happy2:
Hope to see some of you there!

excellent work Chris

Good work so far mate. Clearly my curse of "buy it now, fit in about 6 months time" has passed across with the interior! :grin:
