Just picked up some 18" Merc wheels today for £400 with the tyres so this weekends job is to bore them and souce some long bolts, any help would be great ( the audi TTRS style wheels in the first pics are up for sale if anyones interested)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg21%2F8353%2Fyb1k.jpg&hash=6264a687ff021d4cd37a3b0c5598a8ed7339c0c8)
Bought some new mats , leather 3 spoke steering wheel ( need an airbag if anyone can help ), black front badge, bought a set of front bumper strips in primer to colour code, also sourced a armrest and colour coded handles.
Any ideas or opinions would be great. cheers
-
Very cheep motor mate, done well there
-
Think I was watching them merc wheels on eBay, very smart wheels.. How much have you got the ttrs wheels up for?
-
cheers lads, yeah there still on ebay they were only an hour away from me so just been and grabbed em as thought it was a decent price, and im not sure on the other wheels is 250 too much or would that be a decent price? cheers
-
i cant get any PMs yet so to the guy whos messaged me sorry but it wont let me reply untill i have a certain amount of posts. cheers
-
Either 10 or 15. Just reply when you can
-
Picked up a Clarion NX501E double din headunit, also lined up a leather interior for a very nice price !
-
Drove 45 miles today to pick up a rear bumper .... turned out it was the wrong colour :sad1: on a lighter note i managed to get an armrest for £70 which i thought wasnt bad.
-
Good price that man.
-
Cheers dude
So far ive fitted the rear light it needed, had a key cut today but couldn't manage to code it with vag commander so ordered vcds to try and get it programmed in aswell as change my miles back to miles instead of kms and turn off the seat belt bong.
just started drilling out the lug holes today on the wheels 1 wheel left to do so weather permitting ill put them on tomorrow.
Got my Pipercross panel filter in the post today along with my extended locking wheel nuts and primed bumper strips ready to colour code at somepoint. Fitted black VW badge to the front just waiting for the back one to show up in the post.
Also picking up the leather interior on the weekend! will get some pics once shes come together more and had a clean up

What wheels are that? Those merc ones? :smiley:
And also, just a bit of advice, stick with a standard paper filter on these TDI engines. Foam filters can ruin your turbo. :happy2:
-
yeah the merc ones from m12 to m14 bud, and ive always had diesels and never had any trouble with the foam panel filters ? i just like the fact i can wip it off and clean it every other month. any particular reason why it might ruining a turbo?
-
Yeah that's a ball ache with some merc wheels :(
There are absolutely no gains to be had from a foam filter on these engines. Their filtration is less and the dirt which gets through will damage the turbine blades in the long run.
The standard intake is not limiting whatsoever and has been used in cars with over 300bhp without issue. Paper filters are £10 from the motor factors so it would take at least 4 services (every 10k for arguments sake) to recoup the saving presuming you paid £40 .
If you want to allow more flow without causing any damage look into a S2000 paper filter - However again these don't really provide any benefit unless you're running huge turbos and have cold air feeds :happy2: - However they would allow slightly more air to flow due to a larger surface area and are paper rather than foam/cotton so filtration remains high. FOD damage on these turbos can be terminal.
Here's a turbo on a PD engine after it's been ran on a foam/cotton cone filter (appreciate it's slightly different, still point is the same!)

Just some advice bro! :smiley:
-
Cheers fella, think im gunna leave it in tbh but do appreciate the info! , and id never run a cone filter they are the devils (halfords) work! unless on track cars etc haha
-

-
Thinking of ordering a set of new Jom coilovers, i know its usually best to steer clear from the cheap stuff but most reviews online say there actually quite good for the money apart from not going low enough but im not wanting to deck it so that doesnt bother me too much, does any one run them ? got a seller on ebay willing to do them for £170 shipped if i pay direct paypal to avoid the ebay fees.
-
Buy them from DPM Performance. That way if you do have any problems, they will sort you out quickly without issue.

U do the key yourself? I need a spare as I'm frightened of loosing my only 1!
-
yeah i did bud, the standard one i bought this from ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200871451744?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
then had it cut at a locksmiths for £8
Read the SKC with VAG Commander, and programmed it with VCDS, very easy im sure there will be someone close to you willing to do it for some beer tokens :drinking:
-
:happy2:
-
Ordered the JOMs from DPM Performance and they got the price down to £170 shipped to match the offer i had been given on ebay so top lads for that.
Fitted these inside today to tidy it up abit, i know i need the matching window switches etc but they seem to be rather pricey for the 2 window set compaired to the 4 window set which is quite odd, maybe a mod for the future when i run out of other things to do

My car was done with air suspension on it lol, it's unrelated to the wing claim.

-
rather not risk it haha, most people dont get it done for free any more so dont want to jynx it haha
Like I said it's completely unrelated to the corrosion, service history, mileage, modifications etc, do not effect the outcome of the warranty work.
It's up to you bro
-
well its in next week so doubt id have chance to fit them before anyway, just gotta worrie about tyres next as ive a feeling the 225 40s will rub like f*ck
-
Great start on your car mate! Should look great lowered :smiley:
-
thanks buddy
-
so latest bits and bobs, found a hairline crack in one of the wheels so took that to be welded up bit of a ball ache but needs must, then dropped the car off at VW in Barnsley to have the new wings, they even blew in the front doors for me , top job very happy with it!
Then i painted the 2 front strips myself and came out pretty sweet
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimagizer.imageshack.us%2Fv2%2F800x600q90%2F854%2F9j0c.jpg&hash=c1343e28239840bc913aeba80a1a1ea111cba461)
Then i came to sort out the hot start fault id be having trouble with, there where 3 options, new battery and stater motor about £150 if fitted my myself, take the car to a remap place quotes £120 + vat or buy an ebay MPPS and have a bash myself £20
So i ordered the MPPS , read the map from the car, checked a few guides on how to find the start maps, copied the info from the cold map to the hot map, wrote it to the car and she has ran like a dream ever since!
Now trying to source parts for a gti/jetta front end and a rear bumper as mine as a crack in it, still havent fitted the leathers but ill get around too it haha

Did the "Elephant nose" mod this morning due to getting small deposits of oil around my boost pipes so hopefully this and a pair of new seals will sort the problem
i ordered 1"/25mm inner hose size pipe, came to about £12 for the pipe and bung made from proper silicon type hose to try make it look abit neater and oem but you can use anything really as its only to vent of the vapor, some people run a catch can but i havent bothered

Looks great! Wishing I'd got a TDI! :driver:
Much better after the colour coding too, I'm going to get the same thing done. :smiley:
How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking? Assuming they took it all off to paint it?
-
thanks bud, it cost me £60 for the front bumper painting and £140 for the door strips and handles doing matey
-
and yeah matey the removed the strips and handles painted them and refitted em with new sealant on the strips
-
Looking good, I did the same front bumper on mine, makes one huge difference to the way it looks!
-
