Title: Golf GTI 2005 build
Post by: raptor_tom22 on October 10, 2012, 03:29:56 pm
Hi all
Thought I would start a little build thread, it's not going to be a massive spec list as the budget won't stretch very far. Here are a few pics of the car at the minute:-

Sorry about the pictures taken with my iPhone. Brought it back in may and Have already fitted a forge dump valve and be it a little service last month.

I've got these little babies to go in which will hopefully be the end of this year :)

Looks a good base to start off with. Where were the seats from?

Thanks, the seats are direct from RECARO and we custom trimmed in grey leather by RECARO, only down side is there not heated :(

I saw some on ebay so thought it was those! Bet they set you back a pretty penny!

There defernately not a cheap option but there really comfy and very supportive. Worth the investment as they will last for years

The R32 seats are stunning, what trim you going for?

They are currently the vienna leather ones but not sure what to go for! Maybe just black!

Black is the safe option but to throw a bit of colour in you could always have coloured stitching :)
