Title: Silver mk5 tdi updated
Post by: Jairm88 on February 08, 2014, 08:05:18 am
Picked up my silver 2007 golf tdi match with 60k on the clock about February last year looking like this

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2F16E0851D-1EA2-4539-B746-2302B6F7C639_zps6s5b5dnh.jpg&hash=b3a5eed45d27e0810715609916f96dc10d6f27b8)

Straight away I ordered wheels and coilovers (sorry about the crappy iphone app edits Im young and naive)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2F2551FCAB-1069-4F67-892F-748615A16759_zpsvielvve8.jpg&hash=204cac58c35b77aad1a2ba0490dde67350d8a080)

The next week I ordered a lower gti rear bumper and booked my self and a mate into long life for a rear box delete

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2FE0A56A29-5785-4135-8FDB-D2360315D5AA_zpscz1n61cq.jpg&hash=baf4d9f195ba64bafb54ad0ddd1128b9ffd60eb2)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2FEB910599-3B99-4C19-9B4F-8746E660D297_zps0xjij8zr.jpg&hash=33206d108091e65a158e73187421be7d94a17395)

Next gti side skirts and I brought a smoothed front bumper from a mate as it wasn't quite to his taste

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2FC606EEBB-F2E8-4B14-8E40-F9B5B812EFA3_zps7mm8hcte.jpg&hash=e1d1efc9698e81fdd3e6655f70cee1e0f8da71ea)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2F0ABE6871-1B51-49FA-B5C8-3A70B21C96C7_zps2zuqwwur.jpg&hash=da9da13ebf89842e25aaf7fbf989619da2e48aca)

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2FBE41CEDD-715D-458A-ADDE-7A2C7872E920_zpsh0sjud0t.jpg&hash=7062f64399d842ba09986040519e6f0247e9ad7a)

Then it was booked into the body shop for
New slam panel
New front wings pulled and rolled back
Rear lower bumper colour coded
ed30 front splitter added to the standard bumper
Projector headlights fitted
Bonnet, roof and both sides sprayed
And the winter wheels went on polished audi a8's

I wasn't happy with the lower rear bumper and front splitter looked to plain IMO so it went back in and returned looking like this

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb637%2Fjairm1988%2F47872AE6-5039-428D-B3A2-BF87CB4509F2_zps8bo8yhlt.jpg&hash=88012aa63838c674d3fbb1eec84ddfd62c2fc250)

Cheers mate, a few retro fitting fog lights with some small 20mm fog lights so it keeps the front end uncluttered, and possibly air ride,
