Title: Graphite Blue GTI
Post by: MAYO on January 31, 2010, 07:44:26 pm
Here's some pics of my graphite blue gti. I don't see many of this colour around. Are there any other graphite blue owners out there.........?

Currently totally unmolested......but I've previously owned a Mk 4 GTI and a V6 Passat with were modded (only slightly). Not sure where to start with this baby !

Any ideas...?

Visually i think the worst thing about the gti is the wheel arch gap, so id say springs or coilovers and you have got too have a remap. Those are must haves IMO

Welcome and nice car  :star:

That's absolutely gorgeous mate. As you rightly say that colour is few and far between, stunning though.

Mods is completely your path, depends how you want it to look + drive from its current appearance and performance.
Enjoy :happy2:

Very nice, I looked at buying one in that colour myself, but it was a cat D and the driver didn't even know what had happened to it  :scared:
First things I would do are fill in those arches (or lower it, whichever you prefer!)
And poss colour code the sills/bumper/splitter. It really winds me up that VW did a GTI with cheap looking plastic skirts, and the MK6 golf comes with a colour coded bumper as standard...

I've seen mojo's car and though it was dark, the graphite blue just glistened under the streetlights.

Awesome colour.
