Hi to all :) hope this the right section fir introducing myself
Its a 1.9 tdi in united gray remapped to 130 19in 3sdm copys staggered i believe bigger at rear coilovers at rear standard front shocks and springs is charcoal cloth all round and roof etc
Owner said no service history but to open vw book it has full vw service to 111 tho miles by vw in Peterhead Scotland what a bonus got the car for 3650 has original sheets and maintance stuff when new and was recalled in 05 but only shows a code why not a reason with a vw stamp Peterhead has
1 dent Nd tiny bit if rust at arch near sill pretty clean tho
Hi I just wondered how to tell r bits and r32 parts as my golf I bought has a longer rear spoiler in a different gray and a r flat bottom steering wheel with dsg flappy paddles could do someone a swap maybe as i wont be upgrading stereo just get ipod connecter and a set of rear tinted lights I believe and r32 exhaust with twin pipes and hols cut out don't think it is a r32 valance
Think I got a bargain for a late 04 with only 118 tho miles with the history and extra am well happy :)
used to own a race Toyota starlet gt turbo k reg brought a tear to the eyes when I finished breaking it this afternoon :-( was forged the lot very high spec spent over 50k in parts and labour but came off that wagon to a sensible diesel lol baz300 has been at me for a long time to move on from race scene so I broke my car made a small fortune but not even near what I spent :( I love his gti since he got it I wanted one but not same of course as I now do a lot of miles to the wife's :-)
I am called Kemnaychris on tgtt uksc and ukso been on them forums for many years
Well any help on problems of what to look for on the diesel range let me know the common faults and what to look for when buying one cheers :)
-
Any info would be handy on the following
All the lights inside car are blue how gay it looks how do I put it back to standard what bulbs do I buy ? Or LEDs of ebay?
Looking for full gti interior 3 door the tartan Burberry cloth as not a leather man :)
Need a gti front grill and bumper too
Need a rear r32 bumper proper one not copy as someone cut bumper to fit r32 exhaust
How do I get front and rear Crome badges off so I can get them either painted or vinyl covered
-
when you get your post count up check the for sale section on here as they come up for sale on here--use the search butttons ref the bulbs there is a post some where bout it
-
Cheers dude as honestly when I open car it's like a toilet in a nightclub lol hate it already and only drove ten yards in it lol think its footwell front lights and rear interior as there all blue lol
-
Go on ebay mate :smiley:
-
Cheers but what bulb sizes are they as I have no clue at all lol
-
Welcome along!
As for the LED bulbs, £20 ish for a complete interior set and plate bulbs, dozens of peeps have them (including me) with no problems from a chap called Matt, here is a huge thread....
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,51319.0.html
As for the rear badge, depends if you have a flat VW emblem (they don't come off) or a 3D version which is easily removed with a flat bladed knife worked in between the 2 sections and carefully levered up all the way around.
-
Get some pictures up of your portable nightclub toilet! :P Id like to see the exhaust and how they did that! What does it sound like on a TDI?
-
Cheers Baz300 has found me a led kit for 15 delivered :)
Yes it's twin tailpipe rear in middle about 6 to 8 inches apart with bumper cut and a tow bar inbetween lol that's getting removed its not a r32 valance I was told lol
Yeah for sure mate will get Baz to upload it or could use my iPad is it photo bucket codes like all forums to show pics? Yes it's so gay and u can't see nothing expect blue lol
Sounds quite nice mate not loud but got a note which I like as used to full on race sounds with my old blitz nur spec r lol
Yeah goes on ramp tomorrow so will get pics up

How u mean 3d badges mate the rear is the usual grab and flip badge lol and front not 100% its like a badge which has gaps between the vw if that helps lol
-
the rear 3d badge is raised and splits in to two where as the none 3d one doesn't
-
Oooh your on 3SDM's! 0.01's do look very nice actually :)
-
You wouldn't happen to be in Kemnay by any chance?
Like the 3SDMs - thinking about getting the 0.05s after the snow and ice eventfully buggers off!!
-

Will keep an eye out for you then. I'm over by the park in the Barratt houses. Black GTI as well...!
-
Yeah mate will do :) there is another gti with private plate I see walking to my work beside golf course it's pretty tidy :) few gti and my tdi going about :-) was wanting a gti or a 4motion diesel but cost to much to run gti and 4motion deer to buy so settled for a tdi 105 mapped to 130 I was told
-
Good stuff. Is that the one that's parked along from the garage?
-
Not sure it's houses besides golf course at top of Kemnay I work for council up there :) see it most mornins like
-
welcome along... looks nice and tidy....
-
Yeh it sounds like you got a decent price there mate
-
Also with the rust mate, if its all original paint, VW's come with a 12 year bodywork warranty so its worth taking to VW to see if they will do it under warranty. I got a very tiny bit on one arch that I need to see if they will do it under warranty when I get round to it
-
Yeah mate got it cheap enough :)
Cheers yeah need to go,about getting it all sorted mate :)

-
No there not 3sdm just look like them there zito 19in which am going to be selling for real 18in 3sdms mate :-) and yeah looking on ebay for a fair few bits found what I need so far

I don't think VW will touch it as we found out that the previous owner has cut away the lip on both front arches to fit the wheels :sad1:
