So new to the forums here and I have some time to throw out some pictures from what I have done to my GTI. Although I should have been taking proper pictures over the years, but with moving overseas and working on my degrees just never snapped enough pics. Here is what I got so far...
Start with the Interior - Stock-ish..
Boost Gauge in Drivers Vent, "Golf Ball" shifter...

New Buttons so my ESP button wasn't so lonely :drinking: - of course they have to light up too! (Iwonder if I can add the TPMS button and get it coded out here? hmm).

KUDA Mount for well anything, but added their iPhone kit to use with my APR Mobile Dongle and GPS while in the US.

Love the plaid so much had to add it to my steering wheel emblem

Rear Tray with Cargo Net - You never see these in the States. Oh and ECS Boot/Hatch pop kit too.

Uber Stealth Audio Subwoofer Box and Tool Rack mounted around my spare tire! Great sound out of that 10' sub too! (At the 2014 VAG Show I think I hit over 95-96 decibels with that little speaker!)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAaron_Haglund%2F07_MKV_GTI%2FDSC00553.jpg&hash=b53b2b4549d79fb87fa3eb7ff2a3f847175f0137)

Tool Rack (these pieces can be taken out and are just static laying onto the carpeted cutout piece of wood they are laying on).

Exterior/Engine
Forge FMIC - One of my favorite pics of my GTI

Filled in notch in the hood and shaved grill. US Millworks Plate tow hook mount (had to cut out a decent size of the fog grill though - will never see it though).
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAaron_Haglund%2F07_MKV_GTI%2FDSC00532.jpg&hash=2a121ba8ee39d107753645e2f6c7bce1a4470b6a)
LED City lights and Yellow Fogs to use without Headlights on (I don't know if this is a normal function out here in the UK).
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2FAaron_Haglund%2F07_MKV_GTI%2FDSC00544.jpg&hash=e0710014bbefb726fa01a7f2b16e2958cf76f5d3)
Oh and someone asked if I had shaved the side markers from my front bumper. Nope just had them painted Candy White to blend in, but they still function with I turn on my city lights. Look much better at night.
A few pics of my engine bay at the moment. Carbon bits everywhere :drool: Forge Black metal Cap replacements for Oil, Washer Fluid and Reservoir.
Red Nuespeed filter - this is my daily filter..

White Nuespeed Filter - I use this only at meets and shows... I need to remove the Nuespeed red stick from my CAI piping though, it throws off the eye from the white.

R32 Smoked Euro Tails with clear fog lens- I have a separate set without any color in the blinkers/fogs (had to have the amber for UK MOT laws, I kinda like it though).

Tinted Signal Markers - Just got a set of UK Side Mirrors though w/Puddle Lights so will be going through the joy of trying to figure out how to get these set up on my car :jumping:

Milltek Exhaust from the old OEM exhaust. I had this shaved with my Thunderbunney Rear, had to cut into it to mount the Milltek though.
APR Turboback exhaust to the Milltek though and APR Stage 2+ tuned.

Sitting on Koni Yellows and H&R Springs.
Rolled fenders in the front for my 3SDMs 0.05 White w/Chrome trim. 25" ftg in front and 25.25" ftg in rear. I will be going lower when I find a good set of coilovers.

Oh I know from my intro thread that I should change out my rims, but in the US these are SUPER rare wheels. This particular par was the last set in the US for 2013. But being a UK company I bet they are a dime a dozen out here HaHa! So I am looking for a proper set of BBS LMs. Once I sell of my OEMs I'll pick up these if I can find a solid set.
And a few pics from the 2014 VAG Show out here in the UK

Thanks for checkin' out my GTI. As in my intro thread, I plan on further mods too...
- Just ordered a set of Folding mirrors w/puddle light and modules - so hoping I can mount these and get them working on my US Spec
- VCDS ordered just waiting on delivery (should be any day now)
- APR Stage 3 w/K04 this fall just waiting for the rainy season before I give up my GTI for a week or so.
- Try and find a RNS 510 and get it working in my car - I have a crap aftermarket Kenwood now, would like to have a nice clean stock looking interior.

That rear bumper :love:

Nice mate, engine bay looks wicked!

Yep LHD GTI I had brought with me when I moved over here a few months ago. I wish I had a right hand drive though, would be killer to drive one over here for bit.

Right on, thanks man! Yup moved from the D.C. Area, east coast US, and I'm in the Suffolk area now. Still trying to get my bearings with locations and distances, IP27 area, I know there is more for the post codes, but that gives the area though right?
Just need to find some other VW owners out here and see if there are any meets and such to start going to.

You will fit in well here Aaron :smiley:
There are some great members on here with help and advice, Plus at this time of year there are quite a few shows going on all over the country :happy2:

Welcome to the forum and the UK mate. Nice to bring your car with you! Always loved the idea of doing it the other way round myself, move to US.

Looks lovely. What size are the wheels?

Hey thanks. Yea I just couldn't leave it behind too much fun to drive :driver:
-
Looks lovely. What size are the wheels?
0.05 3SDM 18x8.5 front and rear.
-
Engine bay looks great :happy2:
-
Advantage for you is if ever you take a road trip to Euro shows, or the Ring, you'll be perfectly adapted to Euro roads.

Hi mate,
Love the car! Disappointed I'm not going to be there to see it tomorrow! :sad1:
-
Beautiful!
Where did you get the light up eject button?!
-
Awesome looking car all round mate! On the engine bay plastics did you wrap them? If so do they peel at all?
-
Beautiful!
Where did you get the light up eject button?!
I got the buttons from:
http://shop.carstyle4you.com/product_info.php?info=p306_vw---eject-blinddeckel.html
Most people don't really notice them, thinking they are OEM until they see the eject, :grin:
-

Nope none of the engine bay pieces are wrapped, all hand-layed carbon. No discoloring at all, 79k miles and the pieces look new.
Doing an engine rebuild currently, have the block, head, and valve cover powder coated so thinking of getting rid of the carbon fiber all together... Will be posting as we get close to done.
