Title: Oldy's Jetta mk5 Sport
Post by: oldy666 on April 12, 2011, 06:53:08 pm
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

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!)

Love it, but crying out for a different coloured grille!  :happy2:
Title: Re: Oldy's Jetta mk5 Sport
Post by: mortygttdi on June 18, 2011, 11:44:17 pm
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.

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...

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.

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.
