Hi guys,
Its my first post on here after stumbling on the site a few months back. I'm normally on uk mkivs but seeing as I have a mkv now it was time for a change.
After selling my MK4 Bora before the end of the year I went out and got a silver 140 sport MK5 Jetta.
Monies have been tight over the past few months so not many mods but slowly getting there.
Girlfriend got me a set of raceland coilovers for crimbo so got them fitted. Fronts are currently all the way down and rears have a good 10 threads left. All round it needs to be lower though.
Just fitted a set of BBS LM reps 18x8 and 18x9 rears wrapped in falken FKs 215/40/18
Pioneer AVH-3300BT double din head unit
Ill let the pictures do the talking now

also im still after a silver golf GTI front end if anyone wants a swap with my front end
-
Welcome to the forum. :happy2:
Not enough Jetta's on here. :party: looks great. :driver:
-
You'll only need to change the grills. The Jetta front bumper is the same as the GTI and GT. Well i believe anyway, someone correct me if im wrong! :laugh:
-
Looks nice mate.
Think that you could get away with 19's on that easily, Even with it lowered it still looks like it can go down a good distance, but IMO a better way to fill the gap is with bigger wheels, (less chance of damaging the underneath when driving then!)
-
ill swap with you if its the centre section and fogs.
but mines black and i gotr the carbon mask on top lol
but interested
matsu
-
very nice !! im really starting to like these jettas !! :happy2:
-

Love it, but crying out for a different coloured grille! :happy2:
-
The Jetta has a different bumper to the golf, looks the same but the fog grilles are moulded into the bumper at the top. You can see in Oldy's pics how it is longer at the top well this is recessed into the bumper.
Looking sweet by the way Oldy

cheers guys. I palsti dipped my front badge and was going to do the rest of the chrome grill but decided to leave it for a bit. Not sure what it needs really. I'm tempted to get a GTI grill and lower middle and plasti dip that.
-
Looks mint bud! What are the specs of the wheels and are there any issues with rubbing etc with the racelands being slammed ?
-
Looking really good

Lovely looking motor! Has a great stance with those wheels aswell! My brother is trying to convince me to get LMs over CHs! Hows the handling? :happy2:

no worries, howd you get on with larger spacers?
also just realised, if you combined the banna men and the pom pom girl, it looks like a 3some or like shes skiiing lol :)
:jumpmove: :pomppomp: :jumpmove:
-
hahahaha :jumpmove: :pomppomp: :jumpmove:
I gave them to my buddy who just got a mk1 tt 3.2
I can always get them back at somepoint. Just wish i was better at calculating offsets etc. I could have probably ran them if I added some camber in the rears but I do a lot of miles to work so don't want to be going through tyres any quicker than I have to.
where did you get your notch done by the way and how much??

If you decide you want something even lower, let me know!
Tell me about it re: the front.
Dont want to fit an edition 30 splitter, but man, too much bumpy stuff in the road to get the front down anymore on mine - iv got at least 30 mm i COULD go...
-
Jetta looks mint , pretty impresive mpg, how do you manage 68mpg ? is yours 2.0 140 tdi ? mine is around 55 mpg on a run. must be them coilovers keeping you low and streamlined :drool:
-
It was on a 2 hour run down to my work. 50% motorway 50% b roads. I just stayed at about 60mph behind a wagon and chilled out.
-
looking lush, hows the drive on the racelands?

Errr ride is ok I guess. I'm no expertthough. I've only drove racelands and vmaxx on my old mk4. Don't go low enough on the fronts though.
