Post by: mattypgolf on January 02, 2011, 01:57:38 am: Will be fitting some wheel spacers on the rear tomoz! And looking for a good bodyshop to get the rear lower bumper and sideskirts colour coded..Already have a quote for the roof to be wrapped black..let the games begin...

Post by: stealthwolf on January 02, 2011, 03:43:08 am: Congrats on your buy. Looks great but I agree - needs colour coding!

Post by: swf7y on January 02, 2011, 06:48:26 am: Reminds me of what my car looked like when I bought it... Oh, the memories :grin: :grin:
Colour coding will make it look loads better. Are you getting the whole rear bumper done or leaving the centre section black?

Post by: Dan on January 02, 2011, 08:50:32 am: Looks like a nice car and a good basis for you to start from.

Title: Re: My TR GTI:-)
Post by: mattypgolf on January 21, 2011, 02:36:26 pm: Since last post, I've fitted Reiger front valence, open fog light grills and a neuspeed p-folw intake!

The intake is good but does not make quite the noise I was expecting!, and now needing to do an engine cover mod!

Will have a few pics up later on or tomoz

Title: Re: My TR GTI:-)
Post by: mattypgolf on January 24, 2011, 04:46:50 pm: Umm seems to be ok, not really driven the car much tbh, just tightened up the clamps a little more, just to see if that will stop the noise, I think it's just a whistle when the car Is on full boost, cos the whistle noise does go away at high rmp, will have to wait and see when I take the car out next I guess, but car seem pretty quick,,, hard to judge, as I've not had the car long, and it hasn't been long since i changed it to the neuspeed
