Hello all just thought I would start a thread for my latest golf, (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2F6c1094fb-d649-4023-8187-76b248578b92.jpg&hash=ec1bd29b4d018d1d302ebb7666b1d165ebf25b90)
Also got a jetta sport 140 in black :happy2:
And ideas on mods? only put a pipercross panel filter on so far.........
Any ideas or views on a re-map got full stainless and the filter on so far is it worth puttin a forge dv on?
-
Quick update a few little jobs done new rev g diverter old one was split and forge bov and new silver headlights switch next on the list is a re map and possibly an evoms V flow and a new cam follower then who knows wot! :happy2:
-
Nice colour. Why make a GTI into an R32 rep tho? IMO a GTI with xenons is a better looking car from the front due to grilles etc.. Back end I can understand
-
Like that
sent using my own fingers
-
Take the r32 badge off!
-
I bought the car like it and for a good price as I wanted the r32 rear end and colour coded side skirts but I am going too change the front end over and take the badges off when I have more money as I have 2 little boys and money is quite tight at present it's an on going project no one buys a perfect car everyone likes too put there own stamp on things, and does everyone say the same things about diesels with gti conversions??
-
Thing it looks good apart from the r32 badges..Its your car and you like it that all that matters.If we all had the same taste life would be boring
-
Nice clean car
-
Just a few update pics(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2Fnull_zps25762558.jpg&hash=baba8430bb060607fb5fb5b17d5d78bba8adeaed)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2Fnull_zps38c4e817.jpg&hash=66ad5fcb30aa9c622b7477325b76b7449c06a09d) and last but not least havin poke around wonder if the exhaust was any good and with a stroke of luck!! (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2Fnull_zps477ef6e3.jpg&hash=10e8542a4ef45333a5b42ef81350f0cb4200efa4) :happy2:
-
Ooh nice :happy2:
-
Not updated this in quiet a while just been enjoying driving it but the time has come for more power I feel and plans are too fit a cobra de cat, evoms and possibly an S3 intercooler then R-tech remap is there anything else I should consider buying?
-
Looks really good, as said above I'd take the R32 badge off though and stick a GTI one (Coming from someone with a TDI dressed up with a GTI front and an R32 rear haha) I should hopefully pick up some GT Sport badges for mine this month though.
If you're looking at a remap I think Revo recommend an uprated air intake first, if you look in the classifieds on here I think you can usually find a second hand Forge twin intake or something similar for pretty reasonable money. If you give this a read it should tell you what you'll need: http://www.revotechnik.com/type/16077/222/

Looks really nice , where did you get the front bumper from ? I'm after one but there like rocking horse poop to try and find
-
Thank you for the link I have had a good read and it's a very useful link too use to get a better idea of what is needed at each stage, the badges are long gone that shot is when I first picked it up I will put up some better shots after a good clean!!
I am considering selling the front bumper and puttin a gti one on instead now :smiley:
-
I like the R32 front end, I'm a massive fan of the chrome though, by the time mine is finished it'll have a fair few chrome touches across the car. However if you really want to get a GTI front you might be lucky enough to pick up an OEM one in the right colour to keep the cost down.
That was a good stroke of luck when it comes to the Miltek exhaust, looks to me like all the mods that were done before you bought it had no expense spared which is usually a pretty good sign that the car has been well cared for.
-
If you ever sell the bumper please do email me I'll have it off you no messing I've been after 1 for a while now just need 1 to finish my front end off :)
-
That was the theory I went with when I went too look at it for someone too go too that expense on it I thought it must have been looked after we'll by someone :smiley:
If I ever sell the bumper I will email you first :smiley:

Today this arrived :grin:(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2F9290489A-54AA-45FC-B30A-C60FC9776C44.jpg&hash=1d2e196ef6d8b13828b14836b8da2167ee7ecb2c)
And then this is was how it started (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2FD9764B22-4984-47EC-A58B-76F4752BAEBF.jpg&hash=ad26605096c78d2171332f519285cbb0e05910fb)and this is how it finished: (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2F8FE0289E-9E95-43FC-949D-1207079DE867.jpg&hash=c6f48dd3934e05a356c4f9403e747c6d5a407a9d) :grin:

Gave it a quick wash front (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2FC76138A0-9ECC-4E5F-B377-3A5708BDD70B.jpg&hash=03c11d30e376a6145cf28340b2fd46e38590c196) and the backend (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2F2F45675C-7A26-4EBC-823A-D21304E92C52.jpg&hash=f9c838788dda6bf57f9a867603b9485e9716008c) :happy2:

-
Yikes! Was anything stolen or was it just vandalism? Hope you get it sorted.
-
Jesus :surprised: Hope you sort it quickly mate.
-
Not sure wot happened woke up in morning and found it like that nothin stolen, getting it fixed today but having trouble because spoiler covers glass and there is no way of safely removing the spoiler to fit the window auto glass man is coming back later too try and fit it again!! Phoned round a few people and they all said you would have too smash the spoiler off and another glass man said they have too be slid up in too place so fingers crossed that works!!
-
That's terrible mate :sick: some dickhead probably thought it had hilarious in front of his 'crew'
-
IIRC when people were talking about replacing the brake light, the dealers would remove the bonded spoiler to repair the brake light. This is what you might have to do to replace the window.
-
All sorted now!!! Autoglass were useless too say the least!! Phoned a mate who owns a body shop who has some mega cool cars mk1 golf R32 and a sirocco on air mega cool!! He put me in touch with the glass man he uses and he came and fitted it perfect!! :happy2:
-
Glad to hear you got it sorted. :smiley:
-
Just a quick pic of my all mended rear end :happy2:(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fvv197%2Fsprati26%2F118F0465-6228-4A21-B398-474F41D56F6E.jpg&hash=08b84798d5323b609ccb548ce3420b8a9a001b26) not sure what to do next with it cannot make my mind up lol
-
glad to see you got it sorted :happy2:
-
Cars looking good mate, ed30/r32 tail lights I reckon next. Can the exhaust not be tucked up closer to the valance? bit of a gap there
-
Not updated this in a while but a few changes have happen now mostly just tidying up like new door cards and handles because one was broken, headlights were horrible cheap rubbish so replaced them with genuine hella versions and just ordered 4 Vresdestein ultrac sessanta hopefully will put some better updates and pictures on soon when I get chance, looked at the exhaust and it doesn't look like I can tuck it up anymore, few more little jobs to do then on with the good parts hopefully!! :happy2:
-
Still got this car just been using it and cleaning it love it still want more power :driver: anyone suffer with sticky rear calipers mine just seem too be getting worse? Recons or brand new? Any suggestions?
-
ECP have reconditioned items for £110 a side. I purchased a pair the other week as I needed them asap. Identical to the original calipers (with manufacturer marking removed). Came with new rubber for the guides and new caliper bolts. No issues.
There are listings on eBay for a lot less, depends how urgently you need them I suppose...
-
It is with much regret but this car is now e-bay so if anyone knows anyone who fancies a nice golf take a look at it on eBay :happy2:
