Thought it was about time I started one of these! Havent really done any major mods yet but plan to do this year (thanks to this website!). Got it from vw harrogate in august with 45,000 miles on the clock with the dsg oil and pump changed which saved me a bit of money!
Anyway here's a list of the spec as of when I purchased it!
3dr reflex silver gti
Dsg with paddles
Heated leather
Mfsw
Highline computer
Cruise control
Climate control
And here's a few pictures of when I got it from the dealers;

So first things first it didn't have a bottle opener so got one of those pretty sharpish as that area is useless without it!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fxx215%2Fgtiain%2Fb70cdc5e.jpg&hash=3aa13cb0ab5e51290e648169889b0c4a7a9d9c3a)
Then another simple mod which brightens it up a bit;
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fxx215%2Fgtiain%2Fe4257b65.jpg&hash=e754f2d61820d8a5dd397a046a2d8e647631c4d5)
Then I decided to go for my first major (sort of!) mod which was the rns510 fitted by Darren.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fxx215%2Fgtiain%2F1365b59e.jpg&hash=c66d097bfdae76ddd7df05937acc2530532d3482)

Then to go nicely with the rns I got a reversing camera from stevep which again Darren fitted (not easy!). Havnt got any pics of this but will try take some! This is by far the best thing I've done so far, it is so helpful as I found it quite difficult to see out of the back. I don't know how I lived without it to be honest!
Anyway back on with the mods! Then I decided to go black with my badge;
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fxx215%2Fgtiain%2FBlackbadge.jpg&hash=80267d00aae72e844fd5df6be468bb405c6d9b10)
That's all the pics I've got at the moment but I've got Many things lined up. I bought some 18" mk6 monza shadows from greeners so will be putting those on at some point. I also bought an edition 30 splitter from the dealers which set me back £240 and it's booked in to be colour coded on the 7th feb, so when this is all done I'll get some more pics up!
I apologise for the s#%t pics but everyone knows what the iPhone is like!

Looking good I'm sure you will carry on buying and improving if you keep coming on here ha

Very nice mate. VW Harrogate ? i live in Harrogate you the same?. :smiley:

No mate I live in saltaire, it was a good (ish) price so decided to travel that little bit further. Only about an hour away or so. :happy2:

Yeah had an eye on that, probably will. Will have a few more mods done by then!

Looks nice :) I like the black badge with the silver :happy2:

Thanks! :happy2: Was a bit unsure at first but getting used to it now! Gonna hopefully get some more pics up when I've had it colour coded and the ed30 splitter put on :happy2:

Just got the new genuine 18" mk6 monza shadows on and give it a bit of a clean, so here's the fruits of my labour;

I'm really happy with them, they look so much better than my 17s. It's weird though because in the flesh they look absolutly huge, but on these pics they look tiny! Oh well I think it needs lowering to finish it off. Thanks for looking! :happy2:
-
Love the ride. I have the Monza IIs with black inserts and they look the dog's bollocks IMO.
-
like it a lot mate, looks like mine when I first bought it, (apart from the seats, and 2 less doors than me)
surprised that I think the black badge works so well on a silver GTI, may try that on mine at some point now when I have a bit more black on my car. :wink:
-
Cheers guys :happy2: it's being colour coded on the 7th and got an ed30 splitter going on so it's coming together! Any suggestions what to do next?
-
Sell it! :grin:
Lower it, and I would then go for Milltek or a remap?
-
:signLOL: that would save me a bit of money!
Yeah will do, thinking about getting an r32 rear like yours! :drinking:

Thankyou. I love it, though if you are getting it coded then you had better get the rear sooner rather than later.

Quick update
Edition 30 splitter on and colour coded. Went for gloss black exhaust surround as I think it finishes it off brilliantly. I think it looks so much better, and like alot of people think it should have come from the factory like this. Also went back to the silver badge, dont know why really just wanted to go oem. Hope you like;

looking very clean
-
Looking superb Iain :happy2:
I couldn't agree more about the Ed30 'look'. Gives the car a new cosmetic level.
-
nice looking car, not a fan of the colour coding to be honest
-
Thanks :smiley:
Each to their own :happy2:

Superb mate, looks really eye catching coded. Your seats look in great nik too! :driver:

Thanks I think :signLOL:

shibby is to cool what merlin is to magic :grin:
personal preference would see the center lower front in black to mirror the rear :innocent:

I was pondering whether to do that but decided not in the end. May get it vinyl wrapped in black in the future if that's possible. :happy2:

After having the footrest a few months, I finally got round to fitting it. Cheers gulfstream :happy2:

finishing touch :happy2:
-
thats coming along very nicely! the colour coding on the rear makes alot of difference :smiley:
-
Just ordered open fog grilles, a new dv (d) a new canbus and 729b Bluetooth, I'll get pics up of the fog grilles ASAP. Obviously the other things will be a little difficult to take pics!
-
Small sticker, blatantly copied off Darren. I like it though. :happy2:

Fitted my R32 rear lights, look better than the standard as I found the standard ones looked pink almost in certain lights. And yes that is another red mk5 infront!

Those r32 lights look nice mate :happy2:
How much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?

They were £230 from awesome. I could have probably got them cheaper if I'd looked round a bit more but I got fed up of looking.
-
Nice... I might pop that on to my to do list too :happy2:

Just got my mk6 scirocco r wheel fitted with osir paddles, some of you may recognize it! Yes it's TC's, so a big thankyou to Tom and a massive thankyou to jay for fitting it. Oh and got the edition 30 gaitor fitted. Cheers guys :drinking:

What exhaust you got on that?

Seen this today. The car looks awsome inside and out. And sounds fantastic. Good luck with your other plans mate.

Looks mint mate!!
-
looks ace
-
I think the R32 rear is the best looking by far of the Mk5 options. I couldn't be bothered with doing the exhaust though on mine so went for the Ed30 rear. :happy2:
Car is looking great!

Thanks mate. It was a choice between the r32 and ed30 rear for me aswell. Decided on the r32 eventually as I think it's the best looking :wink:

Thinking about some new wheels, these would be a dream but a bit pricey;
