Evening All
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

Start them young :laugh:
-
I would be interested to know how u find the b12, my wife has an mk5 jetta and i want to lower at some point in the near future...
-
Results of the lowering!? :P
-
Agreed, would be interested in how it ended up and what you started with?
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?
-
Here we go then, its been along time since I wrote a review. If I miss anything just ask.
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.
-
Excellent. Glad you happy with the kit, sounds good. I know the Sport is already lowered by 15mm and sightly stiffer settings so wonder how different it would be with the B12's.

That looks a lot better

Thanks Maxi
Like your build thread too.

Looking good, im also looking forward to it on the pescaras! Id say it will handle alot better and i know how much 55 tyres can give at speed round corners!
-
I have more pictures to upload on changing the headlights to black GTi versions, they are all on laptop at home.
I know i should and will put a "wanted Post" but does anyone know of a set of Pescara's? not bothered about condition as I may get referbed (excuse spelling) in black.

^^^^ its not raining and I liked them the way they were, blended in better. :happy2:

My de-chroming mission is nearly complete.
Side fins and grill are wrapped in 3M gloss black wrap.
The lower grills have had a good deep clean, primed and sprayed gloss black.

Some chrome still present around the windows.
Does anyone know of any breakers selling any Jetta s door trim (it comes black) or 07-on golf (5door) trim?
I am Somerset based but would travel or pay postage (if too far)
Thanks for looking

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

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'm definatly after a Jetta front bumper for my golf! Looks so good and want the chrome :laugh: Its just finding the right, good looking bumper with grills is a pain! :ashamed:

small update.
I have wrapped some of the interior trim this evening, will try and get pics at weekend as away in Cornwall for work morrow and Friday.

Sweet when aer you going to lower it! Will look the bomb :drool:

How rude! :signLOL: check page 2 Chris, its sat on B12's :happy2:
Coilovers are not practical for me, they will break the wife's spine :laugh:

I've just done the same with the front and smoothed it. I bought an Alfa 156 number plate plinth & a spare clip in section that goes into the bumper below the headlight (its where the headlight washers would pop out of - but i dont have them!) And screwed the alfa plinth to it - I'll get pics up once its done

That's cool! I like the wrap on the glove box handle. Did you take it off?

No, i must have been a contortionist in a previous life, being 6"2 it was NOT easy to do.

Gonna give this winter tyre thing a go and these arrived at work today.
Bargain find on ebay approx 6mm left less that £150 Cooper Weathermaster Snow 225/45/17
Now i need the wheels to arrive before i drive across the South of England visiting family for Xmas.

.
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.
-
Well these arrived earlier for the winter tyres. Was worried as they are from ebay (you never know what will turn up) but they are genuine, straight and clean, i suspect audi.
I have asked if any one knows their name in another thread.

Very straightforward no-fussing alloy design and just right for a Winter wheel look in my opinion :happy2:

....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.

For some time now i have been looking at getting some OEM Gti (equivalent) side skirts for my Jetta. My preference has always been the original textured look. I have spoken to my local stealer about them but they were no help what so ever. In fact when ever i go in and question them about fitting golf stuff to my car they must think "oh no not him again!"
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

These arrived today, ACTUAL Jetta side skirts, cant wait to fit them the weekend.

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.

Haha I'm wound down pretty much all the way on my jetta and its used everyday for work and family dutys although the ride ain't all that! And speed bumps are a right nightmare!! I'm just looking for something that offers a little comfort as I'm going to raise it 10mm for bigger wheels!

Thanks Mickey-D, it was a shame to let it go, but it was never the same after its accident.

Nicely done! Thanks for the part numbers :happy2:
What the hell is happening with the skirts? Could it be a golf one mis packaged?
-
Cant be a Golf one as part number is stamped inside the skirt.
I also measured a Golf and it's the same length.

Sorry yeah I no the b12 kit is a shock and spring setup so I would imagine that it rides pretty well and the ride height looks good too. I got no build thread yet but once I get my wedding out the way ill try and sort one out, if you have got Instagram have a look at tgazjetta and their is loads of pics of it!
Them skirts look well shame about the short one! I'm looking to fit some to mine in the summer to give the sills a bit of protection more than anything g else!!

Just read this thread , like what you have done , im doing the opposite , I have an s spec and I'm trying to do silver door and dash trims lol , , interested in your suspension set up , want to drop my estate and jetta as they sit so high but like you have loads of speed bumps and carry kids and family plus tow as well

Bit of an update from VW regarding short skirt.
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
-
Hah what a crock of sh*te! So according to vw the us jetta is shorter than the uk version! Can't make it up..
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?
-
OK so i took the car to VW this morning and the parts guy (lets call him Mike) came out and tried to fit the skirt! Surprise surprise it still didn't fit.
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.

Update:
Had a call from VW today, the new O/S skirt has arrived and its 7mm longer than the one they tried fitting last week. Woo Hoo
Gonna get it tomorrow and fit it at the weekend.
Wheels went too, so now i have space in my shed for the winters off and continue my search for Pescy's
Thanks for looking in
-
Is there an explanation as to how you ended up with one that was 7mm shorter?!
-
All they said was that VW couldn't explain how it was so much shorter. I though it must have been during manufacturing.
You could clearly see that the one I had had a twist in it.
Mike at the dealership did offer me a discount on some more parts, so i might take advantage and get a GTi splitter.
I cant believe you have not sold your lovely Porsche wheels yet! :surprised:

So what's different about a gti splitter and a jetta front splitter ? And what is the part number ?8)
sent using my own fingers
-
Yeh me too thought they'd have gone by now! No rush to sell so there's no worries lol
-
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.
I confused my VW parts guy buy asking too many questions on part numbers earlier, I am not sure if the lower splitter will fit straight on to the Jetta spoiler.
I will find out part numbers and will let you know.

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.
Thanks for looking in

what springs did you go for on the B12s ? Pro Kit ?
-
Sportline Gobble!
Lower drop at the front, I think compared to Pro kit.
From Graeme @ GNJ Motorsport as he did the best deal.

What's the drop on them 25mm ?
-
Is that a std mk5 GTi front splitter or an ed30 one?
-
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.
-
Ok cool! Exactly what I'm after too - if you don't mind me asking - how much was it?

These arrived today so I fitted them. Thanks Torque777 for the link
I like the way they sort of look OEM, sorry for the rubbish iphone pics.

Some nice touches on this car bud. Me being picky would say it needs another 15mm lowering but aside from that, as an all around package it's nicely done.
The ventilation controls look interesting... care to share the link?
Think they look better at night than they do in the day, mind. :happy2:

Cheers 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.

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.

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.

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

With the heat we had on Saturday it didn't take long for the glue to go off.
-
Fancy doing a pair for me??
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.
-
So you need 2 reverse lamps and a foglight unit??
-
Unless your gonna drive down with your reverse lamp on your car it is 2 needed ( 1 for the innards on the fog side)
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.

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!

Thanks Yawn, there is a set for sale if you fancy a go at it :happy2:
I looked for a German reverse version for months but one never came up, so I gave up. Would be good to see pictures of your car.

Does the cover around the adjustment dial have a part number?
-
Danny, according to VW the unit comes complete. Only the sensor or the sensor cover is available as spare parts.
Hope this helps.
-
Ok thanks, I found one if these vents for sale but the sensor cover is missing and the one around the adjustment dial.
-
I was lucky and got mine for £20 complete ..never been fitted
sent using my own fingers
-
The sensor cover was about £5, the sensor however was about £40.
If you find one make sure it has the adjustment dial intact, skards just needed some good glue on the clip.
-
Any idea how much the vent is new from VW?
-
Sorry didn't get the price :sad1:

Jetta is awesome, a questions, a think somebody had already asked but a couldnt see a reply, The gti valance you fitted, was it a straight swap for the jetta splitter and do you have a part number for it.
Liking the gloss black trim really good vinyl wrapping skills
-
Thanks for comments Pchende, very kind of you. What you driving? Get some pictures up in new members section.
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.

Some hate flaps ...but I've always found them great at protecting the paintwork especially with larger wheels

Hi again
How do you rate the B12's thinking of getting the same kit for my jetta. Can i ask what size wheels do you run and have you had any rubbing issues since you lowered it
Regards
Paul
-
No worries Paul, I highly recommend the kit (sportline) for the driving that I do and the F1 assay 2's all-round it works really well. Comfy enough for all types of driving and I have never heard it rubbing or scrubbing on the arches (no need for screw mod on front arches) I even tow a 600kg trailer tent with a full boot and kids in the back (picture below) Don't forget these are not coilovers and are a set lowering of 35-50mm. I have been thinking about upgrading the rear ARB to see if it improves handling. Talk to Graeme from GNJ motorsport on here, thats where mine came from. The wheels are 18" BBS VZ's with 225/40's. Hope this helps.

No thats great, i have been talking to him, a think it was your build thread i got his details from. Bit theres nothing better then asking someone who has the same car as me for first hand info on what they are like to live with. I am hoping these are slightly better at absorbing the bumps than coilovers. As i can stand the harshness. The fixed drop doesn't bother me as my car needs to stay at a practical height for various reasons
Do you have anymore side on pics so i could see how the car sits? Really appreciate the info.
Paul
-
sorry matey youve probably had this a thousand times but do you have the part numbers for the gli side skirts?
loving the jetta, looking rather mean ha ha

Thanks Lewis, take a look at pg6, full list of part numbers and costs there.

I have always fancied 2 sets of wheels for my dub, Pescara's and Charlestons. I have BBS VZ033 (better offset than Pescara's) and found some Charlestons on ebay the other day (recently refurbed) snapped them up and collected them from Swansea. I decided to fit them today as it was dry.

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

It has been a while with moving house, building, decorating and new job, not a lot has changed apart from the mileage now on 165000 and it sailed through the MOT on saturday without any advisories.

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.
Fitted the Capezio winters today.

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.

They came from boldsport.com but there are 2 for sale in the for sale section! Snap them up!

Looking good :happy2:

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.

Good to meet you earlier! Hope you got the lights sorted.

After 2 n half hr drive this morning I pulled in to a garden centre carpark looking for some guy called Olly to purchase some xenons, waiting in the carpark was a nice reflex silver MK5 and turns out it was stuart-88 waiting to also purchase some GTI parts. Always good to meet other forum members. So, across the road this guy appears from a gated house with some parts in his hands, so I drove over.
I could not have been happier when he returned with these beauties.

I then drove another hour to @Usual Suspect (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1800) to get them fitted and coded.

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.

Not a great fan of the chrome on my Jetta but due to the xenons i figured I would play with the grill today.

Quite ok with it for a while
Thanks for looking in.

I'd leave the whole grill black (gloss black like you have or matte black like GT Sport have).
I prefer the chrome VW badge as well. :smiley:
-
I think I prefer the chrome slats but I'd do all of them not just the top like it is now.
If you don't like chrome what about doing them in reflex silver?

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:

Had time today to wash the Jetta and play around with the chrome slats.
