Just thought I'd say hello. Now I don't actually have a mk5 GTi - I've got a Jetta sport - but I'm hoping to pick up some useful tips anyway. Picked it up on Tuesday - already put 18" phaeton rims and upgraded audio in it!

All of these Canbus things / cruise control etc are new to me! I did use to be an Audio installer professionally about 4/5 years ago - and fitting a headunit in this took me like 15 minutes inc getting the key live from the dash.
I maybe in touch soon to get some help / advice!

Picking up another front end at the weekend to smooth an paint body coloured with a relocated numberplate (offset like an Alfa) and i've already got 312mm carriers and discs to fit. Just sold the rims off my Fabia (8x17 Comp TH's in lamborghini grey - I almost cried!) So i'll use the £££ to buy a decent set of coilovers.
-
Still got the rims! The guy showed up at the door asking for his deposit back - didn't want any grief so just gave it him back! My other 2 cars are going in the trader next week anyway. So hopefully they will both go quick!
Just ordered jap spec smoked red tail lights (£98x2 for outer & £54x2 for the inner) they look very similar to ed30 tail lights on the golf. But the aren't bulbs they are led's in the Jetta! Could take upto 6 weeks to arrive though!

Hello Polo
Good to see more Jetta's on here. Mines a 56 plate tdi se 140.
Just updated my "Are saloons welcome?" thread about the B12 sportline kit fitted last week. Not coilovers but lower than standard.
Can you post some pics once you do your alpha numberplate mod, I am looking at doing something with my front end.
Just put black Gti headlights on and looking to get Silver/Black look going on the car. (pics will follow)

I just picked up a set of headlights yesterday - was going to split them and paint the chrome body coloured. But 1 is a depo repro & the other is a Hella genuine one. (Vw missing off the dipped beam bulb) so not sure if I'm going to do that now or not.
Number plate front plinth is off an Alfa 156 I think - it was £8 off eBay.
