Id been noticing it was down on power, Bit of reasearch showed it was probably the Diverter Valve, Oredered up the piston type diverter valve, while i was in there i put in a forge spacer, the dumpvale!
Then i wanted an Intake, Went with the Carbonio CAI, looks cool and i got it right from the states, Didnt mind waiting!
One night i was working a late shift, was flicking on ebay, Rns510 - 22mins to go- €459, Yes please!! Made a bid and won it at €465

Welcome to the forum. :happy2:
You got the wheel choice correct in the end. Looks the biz. :congrats:
-

Wow, didn't know that GTI's also came with the option of Pure Beige leather interiors (like my soot chucker).
Good to know if I ever wanted a new set of GTI chairs for mine, they do exist !

Looks much better now mate, like you say more subtle but still :drool:
-
Lovely car, wheels in anthracite colour look the biz! I want some for my gti now!! :signLOL:
-
How it looks now is by far the best look you have had, it looks lovely :drool: :drool:
-
Your 306 looks like a toy parked next to the GTI! :surprised:
-
Its amazing how the change of wheels makes the car look so different. your right about the first alloy choice :sick:
looks good with the CH's
-
Thanks everyone! Looks like my colour choice on the CHs is going down well! If the weather is good tomorrow ill give it a good wash and get some more pics! :pomppomp:
-
WOW Tommy, I bet you are so pleased with the anthracite wheels. They look Amazing, and they have totally changed the car :happy2:

Remapped
Piston Diverter Valve
Forge DV
RNS 510
18'' CHs Refurbed Anhracite
Spacers ordered for the rear as im not happy with how the back sits!!
-
Looking good mate. Really like the anthracite CHs :happy2:
-
hello mate the cars looking great really like the wheels :happy2:if you dont mind could you tell me where you got them from and how much they where thanks webbygti
-
stance looks good pal :congrats:, loving the leather interior, what colour they call that?
-
Is that 'anthracite' then Tommy? The finish looks gorgeous tbh.
I want my Audi Splits in that colour but I thought it was called gunmetal grey, as I didn't want to ask for anthracite and get them too dark :smiley:
Sounds like you've spent a lot on it and it still looks subtle, well played :wink: :congrats:
-
I'm getting one wheel refurbed soon so I'll get the paint code of you like??
I've spent a small fortune on it alright!!
The wheels were originally black with a red lip, eBay.de is were I got them!
-
That would be tasty please mate :happy2:
Looks like you've spent a good few thousand indeed, happy with the results?
Are they gen or rep CH's? They suit the black I think and the black front badge compliments the theme well. Need to get my badge on :wink:
-
That's lovely pal, the stance is spot on :drool: :drool:
-
Thanks lads!
Didnt think id ever have he word ''Stance'' in the same sentence as my car!! :happy2:
-
You really need to update this TJ, some serious stuff done to this car since your last post! lol
-
Ive made some srious changes to this over the last few Months!

Car is looking really, really well Tommy. Stance is picture perfect and the rest of your mods are nice and subtle. You should be proud pal :happy2: I hope you'll be making an appearance at Dubshed in Belfast on 27th March :wink:

.........hearing aid biege mate & it's :sick:.Sorry but what were VW thinking with that ????.

Looks nice that mate,
Is the air all the way down? doesn't look as low as some that I have seen on here. Or is it that your wheels/tyres are bigger than some run?

In the ''FreshFix'' Shoot its all the way down, The other pics that i posted were just outside my work and wasnt all the way down!
I do need to put a 215/205 on the front to get a little more stretch so i can go lower :) If only money grew on trees!! :ashamed:
-
So, I got the front down another bit, Fitted my US Rear and Painted the fron end, My Arches werre Fcuked from driving really low!

Love the rims and the US spec bumpers.
Any plans to colour code the skirts?
-
The wheels look awesome, thinking of getting me a pair!!
-
that is one seriously tidy all round GTI there.
Did not like the look of your leather at first. But the more your car transformed the more I like the Whole package.
very nice.
I have seen these wheels before, what are they if you don't mind?

Thanks for all the Comments lads!
@ STEALTHWOLF, Believe it or not the bottom half of my US rear wasnt supposed to be painted that was a mistake!
Right now i love the textured plastic look so ill probably leave the skirts and even change the bumper back to textured!
@ Mr Dick, Mine happen to be for sale, here on ED.38 Classifieds, Pm me here if you like!
@GLIDN The wheels are Carlssons so it was probably a merc of some sort?
-
savage car. wheels are spot on.

More updates... 19'' Audi BBS/Speedline splits...
