Title: toms build thread-gti
Post by: gti265 on August 29, 2010, 02:19:43 pm
hello all, i thought id start a build thread as im doing a few mods to the car and hoping to do more :)

i got the car about 3 months ago, already with tinted windows, colour coded bumpers, and black alloys

this is what i started with, the night i got it :)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fspike2018%2Fcar%2F25519_418724457564_532257564_535410.jpg&hash=cd555f35f6b1e4982eb1bf9f09e0276c98e16a8e)


i have had a re-map by celtic tuning, aprently to 265bhp with just a re-map, but iv never done a rolling road so i dont no what it is actualy at.

i have just de wipered the rear window, put black badges on, and painted the back groud of the rear badge white to match the car

Id be carefull leaving your front windows with tints fella, even as you say 30%, they shouldnt have any sort of tint.

Any excuse for Mr Plod to stop you.It would impair your own vision to others on the road aswell.

Like your combo of White/black with the rest of the car :happy2:

i no others have said this, but they pull me over quite often, as i work late so am normaly driving about 1-3 am most days, (you wouldnt belive the amount of breathaliser tubes i have at home) lol and they have never comented on them yet (touch wood)

i also quite like the look :) but we shall see what happens lol

Title: Re: toms build thread-gti
Post by: gti265 on November 01, 2010, 07:37:49 pm
i havnt got a part number as i got mine of ebay, and i wont recomend this item untill i have recived it and its good, but here is the link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220646926357&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

as for de wipering yes realy easy apart from removing the wiper moter as the metal bit that goes through the glass on mine was stuck, so in the end i took a hack saw to it, and it came of straight away :),

i belive i followed a guide on here on how to do it, it should come up if you do a search, i cant remember where it was :(

hope this helps, feel free 2 ask more questions if you get stuck :)
