Different versions of these but you can google to find out more info on what the difference is between them or what you need to fit.. fairly easy diy job too.
Exterior:
Xenon headlights
Turbo back exhaust from the likes of BCS, Milltek and others :happy2:
Wheels of your choice
Some decent coilovers - you get what you pay for
Revo induction kit or others such as ITG, Forge etc..
Finally a remap from the likes of rtech or revo :smiley:
People can add to this but thought id help you with a few ideas :smiley: :happy2:

Thank you carlw much appreciated mate will look into the mods
See what I can purchase before the funds run out lol but to say iv already ordered the miltek cat back
Exhaust from road runner nottingham
-
No problem.. many people on here are eager to help :happy2:
Cat back exhaust is a good start.. one at a time and you'll get to where you want to be eventually :driver:
Also if you haven't got a downpipe yet you can always take the pre cat out the standard downpipe which will help with flow and speeeeeeed :laugh:
-
Free and good little DIY mod you can do yourself.. there are how-to's on doing this mod on the forum you will be able to find by searching "pre cat removal on golf gti" or something either on here or google perhaps
-
Thanks once again Carl to be honest I was thinking of paying an extra
411 pounds for a miltek down pipe and decat what
Would you recommend
-
i would personally do what you've said and go for the Miltek Downpipe and decat if you can afford to do so.. Only reason i said what i said in my last comment was something you could do if you didn't have funds to spend extra on the Miltek downpipe upgrade :happy2:
Happy modding and good luck with the rest of the bits you plan to do :happy2:

Thanks and yh I'm going to purchase the miltek decat and down pipe today
I'll try starting my own thread just updating on what I do to the car!
-
Mods sound good!!
Just out of interest, the Milltek exhaust from Road Runner - did you get it on ebay for £1,123?
Thanks
-
Really wouldn't bother with a decat on the downpipe, its a faff to change round come MOT time as it will fail, just get a 200 cell sports cat and all's good. Hardly any restriction and will pass an MOT.
As for modding your car, whether it be Show or Go, everything can be changed or Retro fitted, have a good look at some cars in the Members Rides and you'll get some ideas.
Change all the interior window switches and Headlight Switch. All simple to change apart from the Fuel Flap switch, that ones a PITA.
Also look into changing all your interior lights to LED's. Costs around £20 ish for the full set and a simple change over. Have a look on here, there's a thread by member Monte re LED lights and have a read and buy from there.
You could change your climatronic unit to a Mk6 one, add a RCD510 or RNS510 Headunit and change your cluster to a Highline (if needed) or a R32 white dial cluster. Or even a Mk6 MFSW steering wheel.
Little bits, like a shiny dead pedal, seat inlays, brushed aluminium ashtray cover etc etc etc.
Door warning lights are a VERY good mod, really useful and get noticed by peeps who know they're not normally there.
@OP, My review/write up on Door Warning Lights......
~~ Clicky here ~~ (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,55686.0.html)
If that's not enough, vinyl wrap, paint or dip all the interior trim/parts. It never stops.
Happy modding!
:happy2:
