Post by: Timepillow on February 01, 2014, 04:53:29 pm: Hello...been a member on here a month or two so thought I should make a thread!

Post by: Dave7692 on February 19, 2014, 10:18:35 am: Really nice car! Love the flat bottom steering wheel, that another mod added to my list haha.

About 6 months ago I got one virtually identical, same colour, 140bhp etc its been great for me too, also helped that I was stepping up for a 1.4 207 so the performance leap was massive.

I got a GTI bumper fitted to it pretty much as soon as I got it and like you I was driving around with the fog light warning on for a while!

I just had all my R32 rear bumper and Exhaust arrive in the post last week so I'm looking forward to fitting them soon and I'll put a thread up on here once I've got it done.

Anyway good luck with your modding, look forward to seeing more pics!

Dave, how did you go about the r32 exhaust?

I know it might be a bit frowned upon on here but I bought one of those Bumper + Exhaust combos off Ebay. I can't really afford to a VW Genuine bumper and something like a Miltek/Custom exhaust at the moment but (although I haven't fitted it yet) the quality of the products look pretty good for their respective costs. Another reason for not going VW Genuine is trying to find one in my colour (Graphite blue) would take a very, very long time or for me to be very lucky.

Once I've got it all sprayed and fitted I'll put some photos up on here as I'm sure there must be others looking at doing a similar thing.
Title: Re: Timepillow's Golf GT Sport Thread
Post by: J12spk on February 19, 2014, 09:34:07 pm: Good luck mate, defo do a trial fitting before you get it sprayed mate! Could end up biting you in the bum!

Oh I see, no they are the same, I think if you get the projector fog lights which were fitted to some GTI's then they are different but the normal fogs are the same! :happy2:

Ahhh ok, just I have been told that the GTI fog light connections are different than the non GTI cars. My car is 06 plate and has fogs fitted. Looking at doing the GTI bumper mod and was wondering about the fogs.

Oh I see, no they are the same, I think if you get the projector fog lights which were fitted to some GTI's then they are different but the normal fogs are the same! :happy2:

Thanks!!!! That's helps alot...cheers man...lush car too :smiley:

Thanks Timepillow :)

I can see a few on eBay around the £320 mark, and some used ones starting at around £100, does this unit give you Sat Nav as well or is it just a radio/cd and mp3 with bluetooth ?

I picked mine up for £200 and its like new! But mine is the DAB version!

No the RNS-510 is the one with a sat-nab built in...you are properly looking at over £400 for a good one...and the only radio VW do with bluetooth built in is a RNS-310 unit...the RCD-510 and RNS-510 all have to have a serpent module for bluetooth.

The names give it away, anything with RNS has navigation, RCD is just a CD player.
Both the RCD & RNS-510 are compatible with the Bluetooth modules that go under the driver's seat.

The RNS-510 is costly, especially for the later revisions, but there are occasional deals to be had if you are patient enough. I got lucky with a revision H and 9W7 Bluetooth kit for £400 and sold the latter for £100 making my RNS a fantastic price.
