Looking good. I have just bought the identical car, mine is a GT 1.4 TSI in Black.
So you have changed the font grill, is that a standard GT front bumper though?
Nick
-
Just changed the grilles, had the gti bumper as standard
-
Thanks for the reply, can I ask where did you get your grill badge from?
-
G T I - I = G T
-
Its a gti badge from vw, with the I cut off
-
Ha ha I did think that might be an option!
-
got some side skirts fitted, looks much better in my opinion, also removed the golf badge off the rear.

next up lowering
-
looking nice :happy2:
-
since last post had the injectors changed under warranty so all is good on that front.
some dozy driver pulled out and knocked the front, so thought it was the right time to do a few bits:
fitted black gti headlights.
fitted the gti splitter (both parts, not just bodged to the gt one).
fitted the rear bumper for the gti.
Fitted Black VW emblem on the front.
Fitted an armrest, don't know how i have managed without one for this long.
And also got some eibach sportlines fitted. they have improved the looks to what i want.
next on the shopping list is a rear spoiler.

Looking good. Like what you've done so far. :happy2: from a fellow GT170 owner.
What's next on the to do list?
-
looking really good--need the rear valance painting :wink:
-
Nice ,clean car bud looks the biz.. :happy2:
-
i wanted the rear bumper painting when it was getting repaired, but didn`t get arount to doing it.
was looking into a shark remap and de-dpf but that may have to wait till after little stint away :smiley:
also after a spoiler but need to find one in the right colour or one at a good price :happy2:

They get the thumbs up from me. I had this done last month.
-
15mm spacers each side in the back and 10mm each side in the front would make a huge difference. The offset on the classix is very high et54.
I run h&r as above on my classix and I found they made a great improvement in looks. I found that the classix sat too far in the arches.
Your car looks really well with that drop, nice job!
-
have you got any pics of yours with the spacers fitted?

What size drop did you go for on the H & R's 35mm?
-
Looks really nice mate. I like the unpainted bumper and skirts, looks old school.
-
i agree with daboy, unpainted bumper and skirts look unique! :D
-
small update, i was after a rear spoiler for my car, managed to get hold of a brand new votex rear spoiler. had it painted up and fitted it. makes a good little addition, maybe not as obvious compared to a gti on but hey.

getting it shark`d and having the dpf delete on 26th may so looking forward to that and some more power.
-
looking really good,what products do you use on the tyres and lower bumpers?
-
Loo9king good mate. You won't be disappointed once its shark'd. Just be prepared for some smoke :driver:

Meguiars Ultimate Protectant Dash & Trim Restorer
Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Loo9king good mate. You won't be disappointed once its shark'd. Just be prepared for some smoke :driver:
yeah hoping it will be good, not expecting it to be smoke free but hoping its not too bad
-
Mine is the 212bhp map but made 216bhp on the rollers. They do have maps that are a little less bhp if you want less smoke.
-
I would be more than happy with some smoke with a 212map, may have to ask
-
went to midland vw today to see what the car was putting out after getting a shark remap and dpf delete by ap automotive in telford. happy with what it is doing . below is the graph of the run.

Car looks great ! Few question did you bond the side skirts on or use the proper fitting rails ? As looking into this for my gt, another question you don't have the part no. For the gti front bumper lower spoilers as they look great. Thanks Ricky
-
The skirts are bonded and part of the fitting kit was used. And I don't have the part numbers for the splitters to hand.
-
nice bit of work mate....
gonna sort a set of side skirts for my own aswell!!
-
Like that ...how did you find the ap automotive map ? I live in telford myself ...also like the headlights ...wouldn't mind changing mine
sent using my own fingers
-
The ap map has been fine. No problems at all, as it is a shark map plus ant knows what he's doing
-
Looking great nice mods. How do you find the dab signal with the window mounted aerial?
-
Works a treat for under £20 . Would buy another tomorrow
-
Hey dude, What dab aerial did you buy? How is the reception? I am looking at getting a window mounted one as well but im not sure which one to go for.
A link would be great if possible :happy2:
-
fitted this one in mine

Dab reception not that great around Essex coast, strongest around Colchester.

This is the one

darn they are out of stock... gutted

Cars looking really smart... :happy2:

Car looking good som far ...
How much did RR set you back with Jody ??
-
Awesome GT from a fellow GT owner....How much for your re-map and dpf delete? Did they delete it completely or just take the insides out?
Love what you've done so far :happy2:

Shark remove the insides of the standard DPF. I had the same done to mine but have recently had a Darkside Developments delete pipe fitted which I could highly recommend. Cheaper than the Milltek and better made IMO.

Ok, cool
How much was your re-map? Did any of you do turbo pipes and egr delete?

Mine was around the £500 mark but did get a good deal with them as it was at the Autosport Show a couple of years back. I have the Darkside EGR delete aswell which was mapped out at the same time. Turbo pipes are standard.
