Title: Here is my Shadow Blue Mk5 Golf GT TDI 170
Post by: Brooko19 on December 10, 2010, 05:06:16 pm
Hi,

Here is my pride and joy, It had huge spec from factory every possible option apart from tinted windows I think, I have added R32 side Skirts, GTI rear valance, GTI steering, R32 rear lights, I removed the MFD2 Sat nav from factory and replaced with RNS510, also removed the nokia handsfree module and replaced with 1Z0035729B Bluetooth module.

All I plan to do it now is remove the nokia thing on the dash and change glove box and Tint the rear windows to factory tint.

^ +1

Just noticed the steering wheel too Brooko  :drool:

So you've slammed it already?  :congrats: Looks absolutely dashhhhing.
The Charlestons now look like fat 19"s in that last pic!  :happy2:

Very keen on this. May delve into a similar derv' myself in the next few years.

The steering wheel someone was breaking a GTI in brum its actually got the paddles and mine is a manual which was a shame but I dont really mind them being there hardly notice them...
The wheels do look bigger In that photo it looks like I have lowered it but I havent... Tempted though when I look at that pic... although I had said to myself that the windows was my last mod need to start saving the pennies towards a white scirocco although I love the golf that much I dont know If I could sell it!

Not lowered - seriously?
You must of had something heavy in your boot/back seats then fella? That wheel arch gap isn't natural of an empty factory car!  :grin: Looks good though.

Good find with the wheel. It's always been at the back of my mind to look for one but every time i do, they're few and far between to say the least.
Another Rocco convert on the cards? Hmmm...  :wink:

Is it the TDI engine you're after in the Roc?

Not lowered and nothing in the boot or the back I think it must just have been the way it was parked.... or maybe he had sumat heavy in the boot when he was tinting the windows because i had just reversed it out of his garage when i took the pic..

Yea it took me a while to find the wheel.. few on ebay but they fetch silly money some of them

Yea maybe I love the golf's though I can see myself prob getting a Rocco for a bit and then changing that after a while to a mk6 GTD...  :wink:
But not until at least the summer will I think of changing this one I just love the spec on it!

Yea the TDI it would have to be

Have you got a Golf?

You're lucky with the OEM stance  :happy2:

The OEM GTI FBMFSW do go for silly cash, plus I don't see them often.
I've got a GTI indeed, I think you caught up with pics on my build thread mate  :smiley: I've a good friend who's got an EP3 CTR but wants to make the jump to the TDI Rocco shortly.

Why do you have so many quick changes planned - don't you keep your cars long?  :evilgrin:
I'll keep mine for at least 3.5 years of ownership I expect (18 months in so far  :love: )

Thanks Modz... Im not planning on selling it to be honest if I was made an offer that I felt I couldnt refuse then I would sell it...

Yea Pete after I asked if you had a golf I looked through the threads and found yours it's very nice mate!  :congrats:

I don't know because I love the car to bits but then I see the Rocco and want one and then I see the MK6 GTD and know that I want that 2 so I know after the Rocco ill get one of them  :signLOL:

Is yours the finished project now mate or you still got plans for it? I love the colour when I bought mine it was only ever be my colour or your grey!

Thanks again dude  :happy2:


I was the same as you really - had to be black or grey  :surprised:
If I was you I'd aim for the Rocco - that's purely because I don't really like the MK6's but am slowly warming to the GTI's and the .:R20.

I don't like the wheels are some of the touches on the GTD but some minor modding could address my gripes with the Mk6. I still genuinely think the MK5 is a better looking car overall.

Mines nearly finished - I'm about 2 major mods and 3 minor mods from being there. By summer, it'll be running as completed by my own little standards 
What about you? Looks like you're keen to do some more... before selling :smiley: :signLOL:
