I recently joined the forum after finally purchasing my golf!
It's a 1.4 TSI 170 model, and its only done 32,000 miles and one owner from new!
I did want a GTI but I couldn't get insurance at a reasonable price with only being 19.
So this was my old car, it was a mk4 seat ibiza 1.9 tdi.

Anyway, this is how she looked when I got her home after a 380 mile round trip!

I had some yellow film left over so I decided to put it on my fogs.

It looks as if the exhaust was never cleaned! So I attempted to clean it but to no avail. :sad1:

So my plans are:
DRL Us spec

polo 6r aerial
LED interior lights
projector headlights
gti side skirts
highline clocks
rns 510
air ride
split rims/3sdm
mk6 flat bottom steering wheel
mk6 heater unit
edition/votex front splitter
r32 rear bumper
And that's all i can think of at the minute!
Thanks for reading!
Any c&c welcome! :smiley:

Welcome. Nice motor and some great mods lined up. Only thing I would suggest is some oem xenons as this will transform the car. Expensive, but worth it :happy2:
Cheesr mate, that's exactly what i want just i can't decide in which order to do everything!
Very nice! :)
Thanks fella
A good base to start with and some nice mods planned. Drop me a PM once you hit 10 posts and can sort out to do your US DRL's :happy2:
I will do mate cheers! :smiley:

I just need to give it a polish as you can still slightly see where it used to be.

I can't remember who's thread it was unfortunately.
So this is how it started..

I then removed all the lights

Masked up the centers and gave them a quick clean.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh609%2FEllismo%2F7BF9DCD5-C4CB-4A4F-AFF1-7F50641C9BB1_zpsgkhd9o1i.jpg&hash=a30cc4bfdc0f6cb285a9b55211b002bd3426ad5f)
Then put one layer of tint spray on and left to dry.

I think it could have done with two layers but it definitely looks better!

Probably my diy mate ? i did 8 coats to get the desired r32 shade
Ahhh yes it was! Thanks for that! :happy2:
I also saw on the mkv forum across the sea that someone had done it.
Like I said i think i'll have to remask them and add a few more layers

First of all I pre did all the wiring for them and then ran the wire down to the boot well and then wired them up to the numberplate wires.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fhh609%2FEllismo%2FD9A15EA9-B898-41C5-B6AD-9AC06589A5A1_zpskjpeieyo.jpg&hash=d960b094906f6ec3e615d39bd28e8a180370a8ca)
I tried to make the wire look as OEM as possible.
So this is how it looked before..

I'm really happy with the output at night, I did think I'd need LEDs to match the outers when I saw it in the daylight but at night it near enough looks identical! :)

Looking great mate :happy2: Look forward to seeing what you do :smiley:
Cheers fella!
Nice mate. Was in Heanor yesterday and could have popped by but bloody forgot until I saw your build thread reappear.
Bloody typical haha! Like I said I'm easy so whenever your free give me a message :)
Loving the look & the little mods mate. I was on the look out for a. TSI too but ended up with a GTI.
Have you got any plans for wheels or engine mods? Keep up the good work :happy2:
Cheers mate, I do have some plans for some wheels but I'm moving to southampton so whilst saving for that Im saving for air and the wheels.
I've never seen them on a golf before so should be good!
And im thinking of getting a remap but I'm not really sure what else can be done to it as you dont see many TSI's around.
And I got home last night and finished the passenger side!

I then found my carbon air filter i had shoved in the garage and put that on :smiley: I just need to buy some ducting for the cold air feed for it to be all done, but I am considering getting some different pipes and putting it more into the corner to fill up more space.

I also got some pressed plated delivered and fitted and with that I got some magnets and finally put my numberplate back on the grill!
Oh and a chrome lower grill! :happy2:

I stumbled across a product for the windscreen which is called g1 smart glass and I have to say I'm really impressed! It's a water repellent but when you accelerate you can literally watch the water droplets fall off the windscreen so hopefully these videos work and you can take a look!

Hi mate, if you've moved to Southampton already - welcome to the area! Like what you've done with the GT. Jetta chromed front grill looks good! Definitely different! :happy2:
Cheers matey! By any chance was you on the fly over on Sunday afternoon heading toward Totton?
And do you know of any meets that happen around here as I havent found any yet.

I avoid going near the southampton uni as the roads are awful and I about smash my sump every time I drive there :p
I'm running FK coilovers all the way down on the back and 5 threads left on the front with no helpers and I've got 205 40 17 on the front as well to prevent rubbing..
I've been struggling to find anything down here to be honest but when I was at maccies the guy that served me liked my car and told me about a Paul walker meet on the 30th but I've forgotten where he said it was! -.-

Your cars not bad at all! It was a good turn out to be honest.. i was looking out for your car while i was walking around.
Car looks lovely, got me thinking about the Jetta grilles now. :party:

I think im going to go all out and just buy a jetta bumper so i can get the chrome grilles as well..
I'm not sure what FK's they are to be honest mate, they're yellow if that helps? :innocent: The perches are in on the rear yes, but once winter is over and new wheels arrive they will be going out to gain a better stance! :happy2:
Oh and here are two shots of my car which i have found from the Paul Walker meet and the new sticker!

There's a guy in Dorchester with vagcom & for £25 he'll do whatever coding tweaks you want if you meet him half way, or£15 if you go to him & I just got my drl put on and my seatbelt chime turned off as I drove me mad if I had two bottles of coke on the passenger seat or something!

My plan is to put a single din headunit behind the ipad but with a slit in the mount so i can still control the headunit and have the radio on if i please.
I ordered a ipad mini transparent case, bond, filler, milliput, second hand fascia and a dremel.
First of all i trimmed the fascia down to allow room for the ipad, then I stuck the ipad case to the fascia with the bond and let it dry.

I then filled around the case with the milliput and left to set.

I then cut the hole where the headunit will be visible and applied the filler.

I then began to test fit the ipad and sand down the filler to try and get a perfect fit.

It's nowhere near perfect but its my first ever attempt at anything like this and ive enjoyed doing it so far.
The next stage is to fit magents behind the fascia to hold the ipad in place.

What will you do audio wise with it? Run an aux into the HU?

Csnt wait t see this finished

The plan is to run a lightning cable into the side so when the ipad's in place it will charge and also be used for audio, but also the HU has bluetooth so my phone will be able to connect at the same time as well. :smiley:

I drilled a whole to the left where the lightning connector will connect once the ipad is in place.

I then got a smart cover and cut the magnets out to use to snap the ipad to when its in place.

But first I'll start off with the bad news, I was driving down the m27 when all of a sudden I had this fly towards me and then it managed to get stuck under my car!
So i had to pull onto the hard shoulder & jack my car up to pull it out! (It's a piece of metal if you cant tell :happy2: )

This is the damage.. pretty annoyed to say the least, but even more of an excuse to get a votex splitter! :party:

Anyway!
To the good news, I've finally finished my iPad install.

I decided to wrap the whole thing in suede instead of spraying it as no matter what I did small cracks would keep appearing, I put this down to the mount being so heavy. But this does protect the iPad when its in there from getting scratched so it's not all bad.

There are a few creases where i lost my patience but I'm still really happy with the outcome and its only cost me around £25 in total & its a great sense of achievement to do something like this yourself rather than paying over £200 for a company to do it!
