I was just wondering whats the best 5 modifications you have carried out, and why ?
Anything from styling, bulbs to performance or Value for money mods.
Im pretty sure that the remap will at the top of the list for most.
-
1, Remap - more fun, unleash the hidden power
2, Exhaust - sounds nice, DSG pop is awesome
3, Suspension - makes it sit and handle better
4, 19's - they just looked cool
5, Vent mounted Boost Gauge - useful and again looks neat
-
Not necessarily in order.....
1. ECU Remap
2. DSG remap
3. Bilstein B16's
4. Decat + full TBE
5. Brakes
Decat + exhaust pips the intake and HPFP for me :happy2:
-
13.5" sub - bring tha noiz :evilgrin:
Zorst - its better to rumble than rasp
rims - the 19's fill the arches
skirts - bring the level of the bodyline down
osir keyfob button - tactile and different
-

2. rs4 bucket seats- most comfortable seat on the planet ha ha.
3. leather retrim- well hey why not ha ha.
4. audio upgrade- it's one thing ever single person has in common we all love music (whatever genre) so why not try and achive a great hifi for them long boring journeys.
5. tarox brakes -12 pot bananas look way cool and seem to be stopping me pretty well as well :grin:
-

Cheers guys, thats pretty much as i suspected on the list.
although a few surprises there like the RNS 510, (i take it its some sort of Twin Din Stereo) and im abit surprised there are not more stying mods,
-
Rns 510 is a VW headunit which has sat nav, dvd and loads of other stuff!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi619.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt272%2FOllie0804%2F006-5.jpg&hash=1df835def4b8dd1eb31390d6ee80c58570e0c36c)

2. Private Plate (Great value @£245 from dvla)
3. VW Sharan stubby aerial

Then it will be a Full TBE, and I do like the look of that carbonio in the For Sale section.
I suprised not to see the WALKit mount and Rear Arb's........ I thought they were supposed to be great mods?

In order.
VCDS cable (great being able to DIY diagnose, help others and change settings)

Remap is way down the list (std delivery IMO is so much better)
