Title: Perky's TR GTI
Post by: perky85 on December 02, 2011, 07:46:33 pm

I have been registered on this site since I bought my GTI 8 weeks ago.
I have managed to get a few pics together & get them loaded up.

The car is a 2005 gti with 41k miles, FSH, only factory extra's are speaker upgrade, changer under arm rest, Auto lights/wipers.

In the last 8 weeks I have had the side skirts colour coded, front & rear bumpers have been colour coded with some gloss black trims.
I have had the wings repaired under warranty. I also experimented with the rear lights in the boot being illuminated, turned out ok.

What advantages will a HPFP have on a standard or stage 1 K03? Thinking of doing this myself but its dear!

When fitted to a K03 the HPFP  helps a lot in the midrange  :happy2:

But as this will be mapped soon & for the price I Paid for the Autotech I just had to buy it   :happy2:

^^ would like to know aswell! Are these leds or normal lights?

Title: Re: Perky's TR GTI
Post by: perky85 on December 08, 2011, 08:49:15 pm

these are normal lights - no LED's fitted

I had to drill holes in lights & unfortunately the swarf has collected in the inside of the Lenses which yo can see in the daylight.
This is why when I fit new lights I won't be doing this mod again
