Title: MongyUK my diesel steed.
Post by: MongyUk on December 13, 2008, 09:50:09 pm
Here are some pics of my GT TDI, got loads of plans but far to busy to get them done!!!

So far I have:
50% tints.
plastic welded and smoothed rear bumper.
GTI front bumper conversion.
FK Highsport coilovers.
rear wiper removed.
Sub and Amp wired into stock headunit.
19" vw Helios 8.5" running on 215/35/19 tyres.

Sorry the car is dirty and the photos are off my phone, and sorry there are so many...couldn't decide....so here we go.

I really like it!

It's individual, and it's really set apart from the rest of the modded Golf's that are around!

Good man!   :happy2: :happy2:

What are your plans for it then? (for when you have the time!)

Its FK highsport...dropped not quite enough!!

I am looking to do simple things really....
Tinting the indicator lights ( i have the spray already)
Making a set of these....(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Frr146%2FMongyUK%2Fopengrillphoto.jpg&hash=aac56db825d16536ed197f13b046cf7dbc2983ff)
These are nearly done...the hardeset think i have tried to date, a full write up will happen.
I would love to also pull the arches and get spacers to get the stance a bit phater. I would also love to smooth the doors.
The list could be endless but the money is low!!!

Am I the only one that think the tyres look ridiculous?

Seriously.... I thought the ethos of GTI was go faster? handle better? loose weight? etc...

Strong stance  8)
Personally i would run a different tyre profile, but i'm loving the Helious 2 rims.

Not liking the HID's in a halogen headlight. They anoy the sh1te outta me as the beam patterns (in most cases) are screwed

Overall, looks great.  8)

Looks great. Helios rims fill the archs out very well, overall very different and very nice

Negative comments are very minor pety things, i love it  :happy2:

Lol thought it was a GTI when I was looking at the pics!

Is the rear bumper one piece? As opposed to two on the GTI?

IMO dropped a lil too much at the back but otherwise love the alloys and low-profile tyres. Looks

The de-badged back (well apart from the boot handle) makes me wanna debadge mine. Except then no one would know it was an ED30.

Its about time you got some pics up MR Mong.  :party:

I love the look of your car, its very individual and still a great look very hard to achieve.  :wink:

Perhaps true, but what is the ethos of a diesel. I think an engine transplant is a step to far to follow the GTI ethos.  :P

Yeah thought about that, but I still like the ED30 badge too much. If I had a stock GTI, it wouldn't have been a problem.

looks good overall. I do agree with the xenon thing. The glare does annoy me on the road but thats by the by. Lookin good!

Thanks for the comments :jumpmove:.....I do like to go fast but this is my daily  :driver: and I have a sub in the back which weighs 2tons!!! Think I may be the only one in this forum with a massive speaker in the back???!!  :mad:
I am hoping that when I get the new fog grills on that it will look even better.
