Title: Maxitrols build thread-updated 5th aug
Post by: Andy on June 22, 2010, 09:29:04 pm
 
  My g/f said she had bought me a xmas present in 2004 a 2.0 gttdi-it came at the time with every mod possible ie full leather,6 disc and 8 speakers-the winter pack and the 17" estoril alloys..

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2FVWGOLF005.jpg&hash=4f61dae989134ce5036177f0178d6e21a3757619)

this is the only picture i have in standard spec

The first mod

The car was only 2 months old and i changed the audio

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2FVwgolfbuild.jpg&hash=c661b7eb94416f89d934f0ab93629212157dfb51)

changed the speakers to these all round

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2Fnc1650.jpg&hash=e345df31e528c5940cdb656acacf5a766d9c64ab)

then put in a header unit.After 9 different ones i settled on this

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2Falpinescreen.jpg&hash=fe86c8bf1f1aff5d0a389016e704008245f3389c)

by luck i purchased the ipod shelf of e bay for £40

Also put the alpine black bird sat nav in

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2Fmn400e.jpg&hash=e59408bd6641c2d840d67035e7a205561cbc5790)

Last year i purchased some geniune R32 alloys with brand new tyres for £700 of e-bay and some R32 lights

and a private number plate

 i got round to getting these ORIG r32 lights fitted even thou i got them for my birthday 4 weeks ago[:DD]

got a remap done at awesome-which transformed the car-i went back down thier to get the map tweaked but the turbo blow up on thier rollers(no fault of Awesomes)

So i was saving up like mad for some coil overs to get rid of the tractor look and got kw v1 fitted.These pictures where took straight after fitting,the kw have settled now and it is a bit lower..

After the dreaded white worm had attacked the rear badge i purchased the new 3d ones but it sticked out by 2mm which i didn't like

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2FIMG_0971.jpg&hash=15b2370bafe8889fcdf8137c9d820f18dcbe2181)

so i got the orig flat badge and got my mate to paint the front and back badges and i debadged it..

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fcc20%2Fmaxitrol%2FIMG_1245.jpg&hash=2a169fb892af677fc86fbf6456633247272cacc5)

i had my car detailed last year just before summer as the swirls in the sun light were starting to annoy me every time the sun hit my car and been pearlescent black been one of the worst colours for showing swirls etc...After a few months i stupidly rushed to get my car clean to go to a show and put some swirls in the bonnet and down the sides :stupid:
I contacted Rich after seeing pics of his car perfectly cleaned..i went up to Rich house today and this is the results

A new car for a christmas present, can't be bad!!  Some really nice upgrades fitted Andy, although I can't make my mind up about the Mk6 steering wheel.  Stance looks great with the coilovers, maybe needs a really nice set of 19s to complete the look? :evilgrin:

took a 4hr drive to see Chris and get the alpine ine s900r fitted today--when Chris removed my old header unit (alpine 320 with sat nav & ipod interface) he was shocked to see how a top Company that was in sunderland had wired up and botched the install..Chris reconnect the wires and installed the new unit..the bonus bit was the buttons on my mk6 steering wheel works now as well...its a excellent bit of kit now i have got the hang of it---i went for this unit over the rns10 because i am running to amps and a sub in the boot--also averaged 56mpg so all in all a good day for me
