Looks really smart that mate! Think I'll have to invest in some H&R's for mine, looks perfect height. :happy2:
-
Thanks mate, the pictures arent the bes try get some done in daylight, im loving the h&R springs only had them fitted other day so still got to settle in, ride quality hasnt changed, big improvement in the handling i love them!!!
-
Sits at the perfect height, good work dude.
I like the Rear bumper, nice touch. I've just had mine colour coded leaving the exhaust diffuser plastic black or I'd have done the same as you :smiley:
-
Wow, looks really nice, am a big fan of grey on the Mk5's! Love the votex front splitter and as mentioned by others the ride height is perfect. Any plans in the engine department?
-
Looks amazing mate,
Really wishing I had a votex splitter now (managed to snag a cheap ED30 one though)
Did Chase automotive do the coding for you? How much did they ask for it,and did you get them to fit it for you?
Finally, is that in the Reans where the pic was taken?
Look out for your car when i'm on shift, but not seen it yet?!

I got the votex splitter sprayed fitted £80 at chase automotive done decent job, going take engine cover down to them soon get that sprayed white i think??, photo taken science park mate, im sure you know it Al!!!!! Next on the list new set alloys, then may look at doing getting few mods :party:!!!! slippery slope

There's no way I'd have anything but Monza 2s on that car, they look great.

It's pics like this that make me wish I'd bought a Steel Grey, sweet :happy2:

X2, Though settled for reflex silver with mine..
Know what price to barter with them for now lion to get mine done, colour match is perfect. :happy2:

Thanks again for comments, the votex splitter makes the car so much more aggressive than your standard gti splitter, just wonder how long going to last looking mint?? stone chips etc :sad1:. wouldnt mind set bbs alloys for spring, keep the monzas for winter. Im looking to get ,upgraded air intake can anybody recommend me one that aint just eye candy improves performance and still keep engine cover on.
-
Forge twintake gets my vote every time
Do what I am doing, and get the engine cover chopped and then colour coded. will look great eye candy and function nicely,
Taking my splitter and engine cover to be coded tomorrow I hope so can show you what it looks like.
-
Sounds good mate, your have to show me when you get it all done :happy2:
-
Was there a thread for modifying the engine cover?
Ps. The car looks stunning!!!

Doing mine slightly different. Have cut the duct off the side and back, smoothed the sides and corners and then fillered the gap to the side. About an hours work.
