Thought i would say hello to all in Gti land.
Being a saloon man i run a tdi se 56 plate Jetta (silver), but have been tinkering with Gti's in past namely Mk1 Rivage and Mk2 Jetta Gti 16V (featured in PVW 1994 & Golf same year) will look and scan and post if i can find.
Sadly I dont have a pic of jetta as yet but will try.
1st mod was pressed plates then changed front grill for black gt-tdi version.
Plenty more to come if i can locate parts.
Nuf for now

Was your model the Sport? I believe they were lower already from the factory, just wondering what sort of drop you would get with the B12's and how the ride is compared to standard?
Post by: Stanipkiss on November 07, 2012, 07:42:14 pm
The B12's sportline are now fitted! 45-50mm front 30-35 mm on rear
Bear in mind the following.
My Tdi is just a 2.0l 140 se and I was not looking to scrape the floor with coilovers. (love the look but not practical and speed humps everywhere in Bristol)
This car is doing approx 24k a year and also carry the wife and kids on weekends in relative comfort, now on 116k.
Still running the se 16's so the tyres mixed between Bridgestone and Conti's are 55 profile and give somewhat when cornering. (looking for Pescara's for summer and cant wait to feel the performance difference and look on 18's)
With all that in mind!
Just me driving: WOW
What a difference it has made firstly the car now feels and looks level not boot high, also the body roll, its next to none now. No more sea sickness round corners and roundabouts.
Roundabouts are much more fun (even being front wheel drive)
Still comfortable on the motorway (70miles a day).
With the family and loaded up.
Still good, not bumpy at all and no complaints from the wife. (she doesnt understand the whole VW mod thing)
Son who's 4, cant wait to inherit the Jetta as his first car.
Dont have pictures as yet coz when i get home its dark, maybe have time over weekend and will post before and after.
In summary I am thankfull to Graeme @ GNJ Motorsport for all his advice and service that he has given me and the cheapest in the UK. Good luck with the workshop.
This B12 Sportline kit has made a great difference and it feels like driving a new car again. It brings me back to my younger years with my MK2 Jetta Gti 16v
Oh thanks for reading.

Where do you plan on running your front plate? :happy2: Car looks very nice now and I like the contrast with silver + black. I think the front end is totally transformed now. Did you fill the wholes for the numberplate surround before you wrapped it? Or are you goign to refit that with your plate? :laugh:
Very nice! Keep it up
Cheers Chris
Filled plate holder holes with araldite and then Isopon P38, sanded with various grades 240-2500 of wet n dry sand paper, then wrapped. I like the results, nearly bought Danny's on here but thought i'd have a go myself. Plate sits in window for now, not 100% where im gonna mount it.

I like the whole concept of de-chroming / de-silvering the car interior. It's just a personal taste thing and I happen not to like all the silver bits on the Mk6 Golf interior. It's supposed to communicate luxury and I suppose it does but I much prefer a more sporty ride to a luxury cruise.

....Those look very nice indeed - They really suit the car and look stylish in a funky way and not as 'Winter utilitarian' as one might expect.

I had placed a wanted post to see if i can adapt an old or damaged golf 5 door version, only had 1 reply to this, thanks Tortaruga.
I have been aware of ECS tuning in USA and they sell the Jetta GLi OEM skirts but I have been put off by the price of the postage and duty, I know UK Golf skirts are £40 from the stealers but the total quoted cost of £285 is somewhat too much (out of principle)
Over the weekend i registered with VWVortex (some lovely carsover there) to see if anyone knew if 1, I could get a good deal from their stealers or 2, someone could give me the part numbers.
Someone came up with the part numbers along with a stealer that would supply them http://keffervwparts.com/index.cfm?siteid=216177
Today armed with the part numbers i spoke to my local stealer again, to my joy the parts man was actually quite helpful and said they would need to be special ordered, I handed him £84 (ahh much better than £285) to be told it may take some time but they will call me when they are in.
I will update when they arrive.
Thanks for looking in

How do you find your coilovers? I need some new ones on my jetta
Its sat on Bilstein B12 kit (pg 2 of thread), reason being it sits on a motorway for 70miles a day and has to carry the family at the weekend. B12's are gert lush for me. Got them from Graeme @ GNJ on here I considered coilovers but needed to keep it comfortable.

They have offered up the O/S skirt to their forecourt Jetta and they said it looks like it will fit, they didn't fit it to their car as it has mudflaps on!
They also want me to take my car in to them to see that it doesn't fit on Friday, BUT they did say that as they are not factory fitted in the UK they said that VW UK would not be getting involved or help out.
I will update on Friday
Post by: Steviedubs on February 05, 2013, 09:22:00 pm
Hope you get to the bottom of it mate and it gets sorted, I'm guessing you can't take them back off due to having drill holes in sill to secure the skirt bracket?
Post by: Stanipkiss on February 08, 2013, 07:29:41 pm
He then went to the workshop to get another guy (chief mechanic) and they had a go at fitting the skirt together. After about 5-10 attempts they both decided that there was NO way the skirt was going to fit!!
I pointed out that the skirt had a slight twist to it but the N/S didn't prior to fitting, "that could be the issue"
Mike said he will order another one, which will possibly arrive sometime mid next week.
Mike did also say that VW UK would NOT be interested if the skirt doesn't fit as I am "retro" fitting them to my car.
Result is that i have to wait till next week to see if VW can get a straight O/S skirt.

As far as I know Torque they are different, the GTi is made up of 2 pieces, the 1st is the spoiler and the 2nd piece is the lower splitter section. But the upper section i think is different on a Jetta.

Removed bra for pictures.
I have removed the non fog grills to remove the black wrap and replace with silver and a GTi spoiler/splitter is on the way to me next week.
Some may have noticed the black valve caps, I have got BBS silver embossed ones on the way too.

What's the drop on them 25mm ?
Pro kit is 25mm
Sportline kit is 45-50mm
Is that a std mk5 GTi front splitter or an ed30 one?
Its the mk5 GTi Polo6, I wanted to keep the textured look all round.

Looks like my s spec jetta now lol ....but it does look better ..I like the chrome but when it starts to go funny with white worm its not great at allCheers Torque, VW want £16 a strip for the s spec black one's, when you need 8 and a special tool to change them over it makes it expensive.

Nothing wrong with the chrome just dont like it on the car.
Left over wrap and a bit of patience worked at treat. :happy2:
Trial fitted the Heko deflectors this morning, need clips for the rears to sit in place. Not sure if I like them tho and could depend on wind noise on M way during the week.

How long that take?
What takes time is letting the glue go off. It all depends on how OEM you want it to be, especially with the wiring. Could be quick, or could take all day.

Looking ace Sean. From those pictures it would seem we got the brightness of the inners pretty much almost spot on. Good to meet you on Saturday and hope you had a good show yesterday.
Looks spot on Luis, we got it right first time. Cant thank you enough for such a rare mod.
Bristol Volksfest was good, meeting some like minded people and discovering i still have a soft spot for air cooled vw's
Finishing off the towbar electrics tomorrow evening and will let you know if coding has worked.

Can do, but you would need to send me your lights and a spare reverse light unit so I can get the inners out of that. I have one set of rings left.

The red of the fog lamp is all moulded to the innards that the led ring is attached to, hence needing 2 clear (reverse) lamps.
A mod well worth the doing.

Unless your gonna drive down with your reverse lamp on your car it is 2 needed ( 1 for the innards on the fog side)

This looks ace, I've got clear lense on both sides (german ebay) with a silver/red bulb for the fog which gives symmetry but this looks way better, well done!

If you find one make sure it has the adjustment dial intact, skards just needed some good glue on the clip.

The Jetta lower front valance is the same but does'nt have the 3 holes that hold the back end of the Gti lower splitter. I just installed a 2nd hand Gti valance and lower splitter that I got in the for sale section here.
I prefer the Gti i version as its textured like my GLi side skirts and rear valance. As far as part numbers goes I dont remember them at this time but will have a look for them and let you know.

Looks good. What were they refurbed in? Dont look OEM!
They were refurbed by the previous owner somewhere in S Wales. I can assure you they are genuine VW, the inserts and bolt covers are light grey.

I must say I am impressed with these RDX's, not harsh in any way at all, very close ride to my old B12 kit but lower. The garage said I had at least another 60mm on the front left and the rear is all the way down so I could take the adjusters out if I wanted it lower.
For a mid priced set of coil overs I am impressed

New tyres were needed for the MOT and went for Nexen N Fera SU1's of the 215/40 variety, pictures to follow.

How the ride with the springs and shocks? As I use mine as a daily and want to keep the ride as comfortable and handling.
What the window heko deflectors like?

Really like your Jetta did you do the rear inner light convention?Thanks ad26 and no an old member of the forum made up and coded the rears for me. I have 2 LED reverse lights to go in after xmas. The ride on the RDX's is very good and very useable for a daily, i currently do approx 600-800 miles a week for work on them and still ride like the day they were fitted, well worth the money and can still go down 20mm on the rear and 60mm on the front! The deflectors are really useful if you want fresh air in the car but not blowing your head off and fit great too.

Have you the Bilstein been up for sale?? Do you know anyone who can do this now or it there a kit? How did you find the gli sill trims ?
I sold the B12 kit some time ago sorry, there used to be a thread on how the rear tail lights were done by purchasing Led rings and then genuine connectors and wiring/coding to the car but I cannot seem to find it anymore, you will also need a German reverse inner light, check the modification area it won't be that different to the Golf. For the sideskirts check pg 6 of this build thread for all the part numbers that you need and how to fit.

Still looking good - shame i missed out on getting the inner lamps done on mine!
They may be up for grabs soon as I keep looking at the MK6 Jetta, but can't find a silver one with climate and parking sensors.
After not cleaning the care for some time, I finally pulled my finger out today.
Outside work the other day, with VZ's on.

About an hour later black GTi light out and fitted and coded xenons, thanks Raz :happy2:
Turns out my car has a low line CECM and Raz had to work his code magic to overcome the xenons flashing.
Result after 350 mile round trip, a nice and fresh front end.

I'd leave the whole grill black (gloss black like you have or matte black like GT Sport have).

I think I prefer the chrome slats but I'd do all of them not just the top like it is now.

Thanks guys
Shoduchi, i need to change the front with the xenons being chrome.
Jaffa, hmm wrap them in silver is another option. I might replace the other 4 lowers for chrome first, then see what it looks like :happy2:
