Title: D3hnt steel grey GTI
Post by: D3hnt on May 05, 2014, 07:55:22 pm
Hi all
Should of really done this as I went along. I got the car last July and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Previous car - sad to see it go

How I went about it

Firstly I had it remapped and a panel filter. Changed the PCV valve, cam follower, diverter valve. Full service. Brake fluid. Air con etc

Then the modding started and I've become addicted

Wheel refurb one of the first things I did due to corrosion

Puddle lights - 2 wires into door control unit if yours support them then code

Footwell - if you have them already just tap into them and feed the wire to the rear
