Title: NOW SOLD - AjayB's Build Thread- GT TDI
Post by: AjayB on January 14, 2012, 02:41:17 am: Thought i'd start a little thread as i'm going to be doing quite a bit to the car and would like opinions and suggestions from you guys :happy2:

The cars a 2004 2.0 GT TDI [140]
Reflex Silver
Remapped by Awesome GTi - 180bhp // 290lbft
Lowered on H&R 35mm soon to be changed

The car looked like this when i got it-

I then got the tints, springs and some spare alloys that were floating around put on-

I got bored over Xmas so decided to wrap some interior trim-

After buying the car i realised that it had been subject to some previous body work and been covered up by the garage i bought it off, the paint was peeling after a few washes, rear arch has lost its line a bit (only noticeable upon close inspection) so i decided to get a full side respray done to rectify the problems. Just got the car back today-

From this when i dropped it off-

Post by: mortygttdi on January 14, 2012, 05:55:56 am: What about the new ed35 wheels they would look nice on yours :happy2: Or the new GTI/RS3 wheels?? My local wheel/tyres place has just got them in stock and could do them cheapish...or you could get them from the bay a bit cheaper.

Ed35 optional wheels

Post by: AjayB on January 15, 2012, 05:15:58 pm: Cheers fella, i paid £600 for this respray on the side.. a full respray would be considerably more.. Probably around £1500 or so i reckon. The work thats been done is very good and has totally sorted any issues the car had previously.

Post by: AjayB on January 21, 2012, 12:59:54 am: Cheers for the reply Darren, I have the projectors ones in at the moment but cos there's the little gap i want to get them changed over soon. I know its not noticeable to most people but cos i know its like that it bugs me a little lol. Not a major issue for now though :) Focusing on my wheels for now :driver:

Post by: AjayB on February 16, 2012, 07:39:35 pm: Car was filthy today so decided to give it a little TLC so went and got myself some Meguiars Clay from Halfords. Got the car washed using the 2 bucket method, dried and used the the clay with the provided 'mist n wipe detailer' 1st impressions of the outcome are great. The car has a mirror finish and feel like glass.
