So this is my first ever VW. Third car now, after having two clios i thought id upgrade!
Only had the car a week or so but loving it so far, completely different to anything ive driven before.
Not got many photos but as i progress ill try keep this updated :)
Already ordered coilovers so they should be here in the next week or so!!

If anyone has any good hints/tips/advice id love to hear it!
Thanks for looking :)

Good colour choice mate Reflex silver always looks well, once you've fitted coilovers what wheels you thinking about going for? Should buy xenons or lookalikes to complete the front end IMO. :happy2:
-
Welcome :smiley: Look forward to seeing what you do with your Jetta :happy2:
-
With regards to the headlights, does anyone have pictures or links to them? tried a quick google search but there seems to be loads of different styles??
Cheers guys! :happy2:
-
i will be selling some next week oem hella zenon-look with 5000k hid kit fitted and 2 spare bulbs also led side light bulbs will let you know when off car if interested :happy2:
-
lovely cars to drive and more practical than a golf :signLOL:
i have same car and colour :smiley:
i have put the gt grill on which is a straight swap and front gti splitter.
-
How much would you be wanting for the lights mate?? Im after wheels as a next priority really!!
Looking into getting a US spec chrome grill with plate holes removed :happy2:
-
welcome to the forum :happy2:
-
Good to see you on here too mate! :). Can't wait to see it with the coilovers fitted.
-
On a few forums now, just trying to gather advice and tips and keep an eye on bits for sale :P
-
Best way! :). Uk-Mkivs is a good forum too. It's mainly for Mkivs but there are quite a lot of us mk5 owners on there now too :)
-
First thing i did was get the bottom of the bumpers colour coded. Makes a massive difference. Also i put gti shocks and anti roll bars to tighten up the handling.

Never thought about the colour coding mate, might look into it. Wanna get wheels and stuff sorted as a priority. Ordered Coilovers and droplinks so hopefully thatll sort the handling aspect!

I just did mine with a rattle can and it came out well.

Im going to take them off and get them professionally sprayed at some point but they are ok for now.

Welcome along Joss, best colour (IMO) what coilovers have you ordered?

Love that lip spoiler on the rear, where can i find one???
And i ordered FK AK Street coilovers :)

I think it was that one but have a look around. Mine came painted and was a perfect match.

Thankyou matey! ill look into getting one soon i think!
-
Coilovers arrived today :happy2:
Just waiting on finding a mate to help fit them then pics will be up!! Cannot wait
-
Oooooo :laugh: :drool:
-
Just read a few guides and it seems really complicated with specialist tools, is it really as hard as it looks?
-
It's not too bad mate. Back ones are really easy, just a few bolts and they pop off. Fronts can be a bit of a pain though. On one side I unbolted the shock from the hub and hit it very hard with a hammer to get it out. That way was a massive ball ache so I just whipped the hub off the other side and took everything off easily that way. It's up to you. What specialist tools does it say you need?

Crow bar worked for me :)

^^^ This could almost be a VW brochure shot, looks great on coilovers, best colour of course :happy2: :happy2:
-
Wow amazing shots. What camera setup are you using?
-
Thanks guys, really appreciate it :) ...not sure on the camera setup, my brother took the pics :) I'll ask him when he's in from work though :happy2:
-
Great photos! can't wait to get my jetta lowered, will you be replacing the wheels?
-
Great pictures :happy2: Makes me love mine with the standard classix wheels.
-
Yeah I hope to get some bigger wheels, maybe a bit of dish...not sure yet :)
-
New wheels should be here end of the week....Excited! Has anyone had trouble with standard wheels catching on the metal inner arch near the coilover?? shredded a tyre after 3 days :( :(
-
I had the same problem a while back but with the tyre catching on the adjuster rings once I raised it 10mm. Cut into two newish tyres causing them to go flat :(. I just stuck some 5mm spacers on. It's fine now I've removed the spacers and lowered it back down though. I'm not sure if it will be that what is rubbing or something else though. Also for when you get your new wheels on check out this thread :)

You'll most definitely need to do the screw mod and to be on the safe side bend the metal tab in a little bit too :)
-
cheers for the info mate, Ill look into getting that done before the new wheels are on :) hopefully wont be needing a spacer as the offsets are much better on the new wheels :happy2:
-
Yeah you will be absolutely fine with those wheels mate :). Will look amazing once they're on.
-
Hope so man, can't wait to see how they look!

So today this happened....

Only a quick test fit for now. Need to decide on refurb colours etc and get a new tyre....any suggestions would be hugely appreciated :)
-
Nice!! :happy2:

cheers mate!! Hopefully have some pics up tomorrow of all the wheels on :happy2:

Very nice Joss and something different, TSW Holstens?
-
Yes mate TSW holstens, seem like a good width offset etc, just gotta get them sorted colour wise :happy2:

Here we go, finally got some pics of them fitted. Need to lower the front a touch and should be sitting right...opinions welcome as always!!

Sits so much better from the rear but cant help thinking i have too much arch gap, even though the underside of the car is sat on the floor. Maybe bigger tyres are needed, currently running 205/35 on 8.5 rim. Any help/feedback appreciated!!
-
The Aphards look sweet Joss, maybe try 225/40 :happy2:
-
Good colour choice! I'de say get a black grill on the front for a bit of contrast...as far a wheels go I'm having my standard GT ones refurbed and sprayed until I decide!
-
Thanks guys, gona try a 205/40 tyre next. As for the black grill, never been a fan so keeping the chrome one, for shows i run no plate and it looks good to me :)
I wish i hadnt sold my standard wheels as ill be needing them for winter!
-
Looking into getting air ride. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for me? :happy2:
-
Onlychargeddubs seem to have some good rep for AIR
-
NOW FOR SALE £5500 with the Mercedes Alphards....message for more details!!
-
Now decided to keep the car and carry on with my plans as its what the car deserves!
If anyone has any cool interior or exterior bits for sale please let me know!!
Swapping the merc wheels next week for some interlagos and wanting to look OEM with audio and interior upgrades, any help or advice will be muchly appreciated guys, glad to be staying VW!

Brilliant mate thanks!! :happy2:

I have always fancied getting the MK6 GTD seats for mine but not got round to it
-
Always good to see another Jetta on the Forum - loving the Holsteins!
-
Bit of an update.
Managed to get rid of the Merc alphards and found yet more wheels. Bare with me on this one as they dont look too great as they are, but i plan on changing them up and going for a more OEM look with the car this year, alongside upgrading interior bits!
heres the wheels i got.

Genuine VW interlagos, terrible tyres but new centre caps. managed to swap them plus cash for the Alphards and he also did me my US sidelights when he came to swap :happy2:

Happy with them for over winter, but hoping to get them refurbed when the weather improves.
going for something like this...

I also prefer those Interlagos painted silver. Gunmetal isn't bad either, for your Silver Reflex Jetta, I think. :smiley:

I was looking at them before I went for skoda 18 zeniths

That gonna look spot on, when are you getting them refurbed? :drool:
Are you getting the front and rear valances colour coded too?
-
Yeah Gona look into getting bits colour coded, not fully convinced by the rear valance though!!
-
Wheels would look very good silver :happy2:
-
Yeah Gona look into getting bits colour coded, not fully convinced by the rear valance though!!
Get the GLi rear valance :happy2:
Another member and Jetta owner Tank (I think) painted his with a rattle can and looked smart. His was silver too.
-
Few more changes since i last updated this thread!!
Had my mirrors and grill smoothed and painted in Metallic grey, very close to United Grey.
At the same time i also had my wheels (interlagos) refurbed in factory spec silver

But as usual i got sick of the OEM look and decided to change things up a bit, my brother has recently purchased a golf and bought these wheels for his, so i had to give them a go!
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fk572%2FJossman%2FIMAG0532_zps3k6trzj8.jpg&hash=d9421451c8b0ab90749c8651d353652771d9bcf1)
So this made my mind up, i wanted something with dish, and managed to find a set of 8.5 front 9.5 rears, which i managed to make fit on the rear with -4.5 degrees of camber!
Also took my front helpers out and it sits pretty well now!

Keep forgetting to update my thread, i do apologize :signLOL:
Anyway, few changes on the Jetta over the summer...
Had a few more sets of wheels, managed to get some Mercedes Eltanins as a swap for the dished Ispiris

Then i decided to go get my front grill fully smoothed and painted in Champagne metalflake, along with the wheels and mirror caps...
Then i got bored again and made myself a boot build

Then i got new wheels again, this time a set of Staggered Alphards, had been after another set and managed to get some again, a year exactly after i got my last set!

Absolutely loved the look with the alphards but they just werent practical and tore up my rear arches!!
So i got rid of them and managed to get myself a custom interior..
Love it, rear headrest delete, isofix points deleted etc

I really need to get out and get some proper shots, but thats it for now!

So jealous of people with air ride but I reckon u could get lower :P
-
The subframe currently hits the floor. The only thing stopping me going any lower is the ground :happy2:
Needs a bigger splitter! And new wheels...
-
On the lookout for new wheels, im thinking BBS Ch, but we shall see what happens!

A vw with ch's? how original :P
-
Ch's just work so well, plus don't often see them on a Jetta! Will probably bypass that idea and get something "showy" for next year

Another better picture of the interior (not my picture) from previous owner.

So had the car stage 1 detailed in preparation for Spring Dubs 6th march. Really pleased with the outcome, never thought my paint would ever come up nice. Also got another set of wheels...
