Welcome :happy2:
First mods for me would be a remap and get it colour coded :happy2:
-
Do they have a dump valve as standard?Or is the tsshhhh noise coming from the diverter valve the owner said he did not mod the car except for the tints

How much do you think it will cost to colour code it?As for a remap im looking into that already my mrs has got a honda civic typer 01 plate which has been chipped and its quick :jumpmove:
-
For colour-coding budget for around £400-500. Some people have had it done cheaper, but it really depends on the bodyshop that you use.

Hey Whyhit.
Almost identical in looks to my GTI when I bought it, I would reccomend get it lowered a bit, and def go for the colour coding.
Just had mine done, £250 for all the black plastic bits, though I know that is cheap, Where abouts in the UK are you?
Look forward to seeing how your car changes/improves.

Will sort out some pics when I get it back later to show the results.
The guy is just by Cannock, near to Birmingham, but you will need to leave the car with him for a couple of days, so would reccomend bringing a friend, or you could get the train from the town centre. for the price I think its worth the extra effort.

Welcome to the forum.
I only joined to see how to change my lightbulbs and look what happened to my car :laugh:

hello and welcome.
given the potential of the GTI , a simple stg1 remap is definitely worth considering the difference is very noticeable.
