Title: My CW GTI
Post by: kris on April 20, 2009, 06:43:04 pm
Been a member on here for a while now, one of those quiet ones who just absorbs all the info! Thought I should share a couple of pics of my GTI. Just had a quick wash before going in for a few paint touch ups tomorrow...

Not a huge amount of mods going on, but I'm pleased with her! Comments welcome, good or bad!  :happy2:

Looks great! I find the Pescaras look too small in 18", but the BBS version looks awesome!

Yea, I do like the Pescaras - but there was only really one wheel choice for me once I got the GTI  :grin:

Looking stunning Kris!   :happy2:  what suspension are you on?

Wish I could have mine that shiney - now the weathers perked up I may actually get out there and sort it, rather than asking Sean  :laugh:

Hey Lyns! A familiar face  :P

On Eibach's for now, still considering coilies but think I'll go for ARBs and Koni FSDs.

Hoping to get a mate's PC on the car soon, get it looking good for the summer show season  :happy2:

Hmmm... Sean keeps dropping hints of springs for mine - yours is sitting well though so I could be tempted by a set!

I can see the benefits of a PC - my sisters boyfriend used one mine to take out most of the scuff when someone ran into me!  Still left with the dent though which i've still not got sorted  :ashamed:

Mine's just come out the bodyshop, after having 2 scuffs (front and rear bumper) removed and all my stone chips touched up. Not E38 show n shine quality, but I'm happy with it!!

Yea, you need to order up some springs asap! Eibach pro kit on mine, handles a bit better. Koni FSDs are calling though...

How much did the eibachs set you back?  what were they like to fit or did you get them done elsewhere?

Set me back £130 I think, from vwspeed. Had RK Engineering fit them, not a particularly expensive job  :smiley:
