Car is off to the BodyShop for the next 2 weeks so as I say keep a wee eye out for some very tasty updates very soon!!!! :drinking:
-
Looking forward to seeing what it looks like once the new parts are installed :happy2:
-
Thanks Melvin, I cant wait either, its killing me having no car but will all be worth it in the end!!!! lol!!
-
Love this build mate! So much has gone on!
Keep it up! :happy2:
-
some excellent mods Mark :happy2:
-
Ahh, what a cracking start to your build.
Yeah Jairm what a good lad, those parts will be awesome when they come back to you. Might go along and grab a sneaky pic for you :happy2:
Love how everything is so OEM with all the new genuine bits. :happy2:
-
Looking good matey some nice modifications taking place :popcornsoda:
-
Looking forward to this mate !
-
A serious build goin on here pal. Looks great :congrats:
-
Great start :happy2:
-
Looking great, thats some serious modification you've got going on already. I'm sure it'll look spot on once everything's fitted. Is it a 1.9 or 2.0 TDI?
Just out of curiosity is that Pioneer head unit have built in Sat-Nav or does it require your phone's GPS? If its built in I might have to look in to getting one myself. Was it plug and play or did you need to update the electrics like with the later VW head units?
-
looking good, any up to date pics?
-
Well that escalated quickly :signLOL:
-
Need more pics........... :party:
Good mods so far :happy2:
-
Great work so far pal! :happy2:
-
What's the difference between US and UK rear lights?
-
WOW, thanks for all the comments guys, they are Very much Appreciated!!!!
@xjay1337 haha no probs lad a wee sneaky preview never hurt anyone and Jairm seems a top bloke!!
@Dave7692 its just a 1.9TDI but once all the prettiness takes place I will start to the horsepower side of things. the headunit uses apps on your phone linked to the unit itself and comes with a GPS antenna but the phone needs to be connected so im not 100% sure, no mods needed just plug and play with separate power lead/handbrake override needing pliumbed in and ur away!!!
@Zseth no up to date pics just yet but picking up a few parts from VW tomorrow and dropping them off with the painter so will grab a couple then!! lol!!
@Mk5_Jim hahaha well ive owned the car a year and a half now so a slow burner to begin with but now yeah its kinda got outta hand!! lol!!!
@JaseGti the UK lights are Red fog light on drivers side, and the US lights are Red fog on OUR passenger side, so when you put a US Spec fog light in the tailgate all your rear lights will have the look of Red outer Circles with Clear Inner Circles!! :happy2:
-
i like how this is going :happy2:
i ave the US style R32 rear lights but i just took the foglight lens out and fitted the reverse light from my stock ones :happy2:
-
Thanks Jaffa!!!
awh nice one, I had my lights split and tried to do a skyline mod, didn't like the outcome so this was a happy alternative!!
-
Thanks for the info. :happy2:
I look forward to seeing some pics when all the bumpers are fitted.
-
Ok peeps just another lil update, called in with VW on Friday and picked up some more parts then dropped of my New GTI Spoiler and Splitter to the Painter and grabbed some sneaky pics while I was there :grin:

wow once again everyone thanks so much for the comments, sorry I haven't been online in aaages to reply to ya all but had show prep and was just enjoying having my whip back and on the road!!!! :notworthy:
Looks much better. Hows the ride with the wheels? I can imagine they weight the size of a small country
the ride with the wheels isn't too bad its def bearable and yeah they are a ton weight so ya need a hearty breakfast before starting any wheel off business!! lol!!
The car looks very good mate, I thought you got a new car at first :grin:
Where and how much did you get your jetta grill and fog grilles?
thanks man!! :grin: its all genuine VW parts, the fog lights and chrome accents on the fog grilles are the only non genuine bits on the front end, if u nee any part numbers let me know!!
how much was the oil cap? and do you have aftermarket front bumper or oem?
the oil cap was £38 or something like that just on ebay, front bumper along with nearly everything else on the build is all done with OEM parts buddy!! :wink:
Fair enough. I think a votex would finish your front end, other than that it looks great.
thanx George, I probably will change bits here and there though time but im chuffed to bits with it so im glad you like!!!
Looks awesome mate. Bentley's sit perfect.
thanx buddy, I was so unsure about them before fitting if the were going to sit right and that's why I messaged you but bit the bullet and bolted them on and all was good!!!
i like usa modes good and pricey modes. where did u get black interior lights?
sent by me
lol oh I know all to well they are pricey mods alright.. the black lights are all from VW is you need the part numbers I have them here... I also have a set of 2nd hand ones here for sale if you want them???? couple marks on them so price is negotiable!!! lol!!
