Title: Black Mk5 golf gti
Post by: Jordanfosterr on December 14, 2013, 09:59:24 pm
so i finally parted with my mk2 golf gti
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa448%2Fjordanfosterr%2FIMG_0874_zpscc5fee62.jpg&hash=7a36b3f3fdfab088b80c080d1508b110f8bd559b)

and a few week ago i went and bought myself a mk5 golf gti
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa448%2Fjordanfosterr%2FIMG_0849_zps9a094fc7.jpg&hash=aaf42a3bcf75ea9aeeb16f1e1aca18bcf653d9f7)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa448%2Fjordanfosterr%2FIMG_0852_zps1dbcac44.jpg&hash=935cc9ba113926a8bf692cf6f45c84aaf4e7e755)

so it wasn't long till i started work on modifying the car, first i started with the suspension.
i opted to go for the jom coilovers, i had these on my mk2 and was quite pleased with the performance off them seeing as they are budget coilovers. so i bought a set for the mk5 and i am planning on changing to bags next year some time so didn't want to go too mad on spending a load of money on coilovers.
this is how the car sits at the moment, there are a couple of threads still to go at on the front.

a induction kit was next on my list and after hearing good reviews i went for the ITG maxogen intake.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa448%2Fjordanfosterr%2FIMG_0900_zps5a09ea9a.jpg&hash=6829d516f5949179e79d47bc3f55fb9198f8a4ea)

next i picked up a milltek exhaust from awesome gti at a good deal, full turbo back non resonated milltek and sounds absolutely brilliant definitely worth every penny spent.

its all about the little things so i have purchased some genuine gti red logo mats and a little stubby bee sting aerial

was time to invest in some wheels for the golf, so i picked up some porsche 996 gt3 bbs wheels. 7.5j front and 9j rears
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fa448%2Fjordanfosterr%2FIMG_0996_zps608833f1.jpg&hash=f7935692ac0aa483a42acdfe3161c45f27387b2e)
i am running nankang tyres 205/35/18 up front and215/40/18 on the rears.

the stretch on the rears

Thank you.....I would of said black with gold wheels is a huge no no, but I actually love this.... Thanks for the extra pictures.....stunning mate
Title: Re: black mk5 golf gti
Post by: Jordanfosterr on February 07, 2014, 03:19:36 pm
ah nice one  :happy2: yeah i was a bit undecided on the colour when i bought them and was thinking of getting a different colour when i eventually get round to refurbbing them, but the colour has grown on me a lot since having them on the car.
Title: Re: black mk5 golf gti
Post by: J9EVW on February 08, 2014, 02:48:30 pm
Like it mate, maybe bring the front down a touch
Title: Re: black mk5 golf gti
Post by: Jordanfosterr on February 08, 2014, 08:02:21 pm
coilovers are wound all way down on the front, which is weird as my mate is running same coilovers as me on a mk5 and is a lot lower on the front with threads to still go at, where as mine are wound all way down.

Gold wheels looks good on a black car. Maybe a splash of gold somewhere else to tie it in with the wheels? I was thinking of Jom Coilovers too, how's the ride compared to stock?
Title: Re: black mk5 golf gti
Post by: Jordanfosterr on February 08, 2014, 09:48:41 pm
The ride is not too bad, a lot harder compared to stock but you get what you pay for really as they're budget coilovers but for the price you can't argue really.

Yes the JOMs are a bit weird like that.
You can make yours go lower by grinding off the bottom part of the "c" where the pinch bolt on the bottom of the strut goes through. This will allow you to get another 10-15mm lower  :happy2:

Been a while since last updated this. I finally got round to bagging the golf, went to see the guys down at low standard designs. Can't fault the work they carry out, it's spot on and very helpful with any questions I had.

Looks great dude. Glad Roo did your air for you. He notched the front too?
Have you any stretch on the rear Porsche tyres? Look quite chunky :happy2: :happy2:

Looking great mate, didn't think Gold wheels would look good on a black car but you've proven me wrong. :drool:
Title: Re: Bagged Mk5 golf gti
Post by: Jordanfosterr on April 22, 2014, 11:22:21 pm
cheers guys  :happy2: yeah its notched on the front and theres a little bit of stretch on rears, arch sits on the rim but slightly catches the arch when aired out so with bit of camber hoping to get it sat without anything catching.
yeah i was bit unsure on the gold at first myself but has grown on me a lot

So I decided to refurb the wheels and change colour as I was getting bored of the gold, here's a few pictures of the result
