So this is my second GTI, first one I bought of my dad, 6 months later got rid of it because it never felt like mine. This was the previous one....

Not a fan of red but the design of the seats is awesome, great idea to tie it in with the honeycomb
What's the future plans?
Xenons would really set the front off
Personally I'd get wider wings when aired out yours looks almost flat and the line going around it

The car on air ride is amazing to be honest, as I got the car with it on I was very cautious but now I'm not. I think it's brilliant for performance, looks and practicality.
I'm not getting wider wings I hate them, I personally think they throw all the car shape off, put them on and then the backs to small!!
The rear arches were fine on here all I'd say is if your altering any arch use a roller.. The donut who had this ground the inside lips out then just aired fully down to bend them out!! After that all the strength was gone they seemed like cardboard, hence new wings went on.
The seats are actually out of a demo car that used to belong to EMP performance.
All the performance upgrades were done by the previous owner but I believe it's around 280bhp.
Future plans... Yehp got those but I'm keeping that to me haha.
However I've currently just done an 8 hour round trip to get more interior;) the weekends job hopefully

4 hours all I got done was 2 door cards off, dash and centre console out and then back in!
Oh yeh and I've made the car not turn over or anything at all!!!!
Anyone know what could have gone wrong???
Took the battery out, the steering wheel off and controls around it..then put it all back the same and if I turn the key all I get is headlights, blank dials, stereo all works and all the lights do???
Anyway here's some pics from before I started
