I shall try cut a long story short...
I bought my Golf back on boxing day last year, a completely standard TDI sport 6 spd. FSH with a few bodywork issues including rusty front wings and some scrapes here and there for £4500.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fstuart_gt%2FOV55EZT%2FF2574094-7B7F-4FD3-AD8E-AC76693C431D-1041-000000F86C3D5488_zps73345659.jpg&hash=0b75dc23b10257fc535ce0e0cf0c8be8d93748e1)
Firstly I took her to my cousins body shop to get the front bumper smoothed and re-sprayed, the following day I fitted JOM coilovers.

De-wipered with a glass blanker from overseas ( can't remember the company name)

I then got a friends tinting company to matte black wrap the roof and wing mirrors.

New wheels were up next along with a GTI rear lower bumper and GTI style exhaust tip mufflerectomy.

My knackered old discs and pads were on show more than ever now with the new wheels so I opted for drilled and grooved mtec brakes all round (for show only, this car doesn't go fast enough to need them)

GTI side skirts were next, purely because I think they make the car look wider/lower with out touching the suspension
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fstuart_gt%2FOV55EZT%2Fnull_zpsea977c5b.jpg&hash=8ab2c9d070f522d5bffd669a68f3a1ff7a4f5f26)
I also retro-fitted some fog lights in, having to make the harness myself and buying a OEM switch with the fog light attachment. This is because I got bored very quickly of my smoothed bumper, and found a reflex silver GT front bumper on eBay for a reasonable price.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fstuart_gt%2FOV55EZT%2Fnull_zps3bd48835.jpg&hash=b665b1e2f53805899dcccfd016c5a1b06528e200)
After going to a few shows, the air suspension bug got me hard. So it had to be done! I went for the airlift autopilot V2. Unfortunately because mine isn't a GTI, I have 50mm front hubs instead of the GTI's 55mm, and airlift only make 55mm front struts. Luckily there was a way round this by fitting MK5 top mounts on to MK4 front airbag struts. This was done for me prior to sale so I didn't have any hassle. Then was on to fitting it. with a couple of mates we had all the install done including boot build and chassis notch with in a week. We had a hiccup with a faulty rear bag, but luckily that got changed straight away under warranty.

I was getting annoyed about the fact I couldn't go as low as I wanted because of tyres touching the arches all round. I had bought 2 new wings a few months prior and decided it was time to get all the bodywork up together. I spoke to a guy I deal with a lot through work at Beenham bodyshop, and he suggested as well as getting the wings on and other issues sorted, to get all the arches pulled. I could have just bought smaller tyres, but she is a daily driver and I have a small family to think about also! So in the end I had both front wings fitted, rolled, and pulled, rear arches pulled by roughly 15mm each side, rear bumper resprayed and both sides of the car resprayed. While she was in the bodyshop I thought I'd get the front end completely finished by fitting GTI xenon headlight.
That is pretty much where I am with the car, also fitted a GTI steering wheel from a top guy on the forum called Dave J. So this is how she is right now.

All comments welcome, good or bad... Thanks for reading :happy2:
Also a shameless plug, but I'm on Instagram where there's a lot more pictures of updates on my car, username stu_nc88. I'm useless with build threads but I'm hoping to keep this one up, as this forum has helped me a great deal over the year!
Post by: jaffa on September 01, 2013, 03:44:16 pm
only thing is it doesn't look very low it may just be the pics but I'm that height on coilovers
one thing i would suggest is getting some r32 or led rear lights to get rid of the pinky stock ones :happy2:

Air ride removed, new wheels, new coilovers, roof racks, interior trim painted, new fog lights to name a few things! I'll let a couple of pictures do some talking it's easier :-)

Not really tbh. I have an armrest on its way to me from a guy on here, Need some 10mm spacers on the rear. I'm sure other things will pop up though over time! Just want to try actually enjoy it now! I've lost interest a bit since helping a mate build a drag XR2, my enthusiasm has shifted from mine on to that!

When you changed the fascia to the silver one did you just respray the old one or buy a new pre-painted one. If you sprayed the same one where did you get the paint, I was looking to do the same thing to mine, I just want to make sure the colour match is spot on.

Thanks, I've had a few sets of wheels now but haven't been as happy with any of them as I have with these! I had the fascia and trim panels sent off to be sprayed by a friend, so the paint would have been mixed up (reflex silver as they're body coloured) by a paint suppliers. To buy a can of paint from a paint shop is usually about £10-£15 mark though which should be plenty!
Looking really good what a transformation
Great work
Thank you mate, appreciated :drinking:

Nice sub build! Not sure I like the roof bars! Sorry didn't get a chance to call you back? Ring ya tomorrow if you're about?
:mad:
Cheers :smiley:. Yeah roof bars aren't to everyone's taste as I've discovered haha. The only thing I don't like is the god awful wind noise, I'd love a Thule wind deflector but seems only the U.S sell them.
Yeah no worries call me when ever, if I don't answer I'll call back as soon as I can mate.

The armrest makes long journeys miles more comfortableDefinitely, now I've got it, I couldn't do with out it!
armrest an easy install ?No, a massive pain in the a$$ if I'm honest, though it only took an about hour.

That an eddy splitter or gti with the center part added?
Standard GT bumper but with the GTI centre added, which was only £45ish from VW :happy2: looking at getting another one soon though just can't make my mind up.
Personalised plate?

I fitted 312mm GTI brakes/hubs a couple of weeks ago thanks to xjay1337's help of sourcing some! They were desperately needed!

Totally agree, what was needed for the break conversion mate?

55mm hubs, calipers/carriers/discs/pads/lines.
Thanks man. I'll start looking around for some stuff :)

All what Jay said, plus you'll need 50-55mm hub adapters, you can buy from dpm performance for about £30 made by JOM.

Looks good in reflex silver, what colour did you paint the new calipers?
Post by: stuart-88 on April 24, 2015, 06:07:28 pm
I went with blue. Sticking with red would have been a bit racey for my chugger!
Post by: Wildengti on April 26, 2015, 12:56:03 pm
You still got the roof bars and deflector?
Post by: stuart-88 on April 29, 2015, 09:37:28 pm
Yeah I still have the wind deflector and bars. Keeping hold of them for now, I was thinking of breaking the car when I tried selling them but changed my mind!
