Getting bored off my car now :/ need some subtle simple mods to make it my own :/
looking at the jetta side front fog covers? or shall i get the open grills and paint the honey comb gloss black aswell?
getting my ed30 rear bumper colour coded aswell as side and front splitter..
any other ones people can think off?

*Smoothed front plate recess and shorter plates but make sure they follow the legality if you do this.
*LED puddle lights look nice if you fancy that but beware its a chunk of money to throw at them but i suppose you do get heated wing mirrors too so may be your cup of tea.
*ED30 front splitter.
*LED rear plate lights.
*RCD or RNS 510 headunit
*Open fog grills for more cool air if you need it

I do like them,may do it and use the sticker idea a few people i know do :) also the smooth bonnet but thats alot off money :(
*LED puddle lights look nice if you fancy that but beware its a chunk of money to throw at them but i suppose you do get heated wing mirrors too so may be your cup of tea.
how much roughly? and i think i already have heated mirrors :/
*ED30 front splitter.
Little bit out off my price range as soon as i get the paint done,,been quoted £220 for rear bumper and side skirts and spliiter
*LED rear plate lights.
I think they look chavvy? any pictures?
*Open fog grills for more cool air if you need it
Got one already with carbon surround...dont know if i want the jetta ones? or keep these and paint them gloss black instead off the boring grey..
cheers for that :drinking:

Go for wrapping the interior inserts using glitter black! you'll be the only one with it on! I just did my mates in chrome looks insane..

Does anybody have views on the led number plate lights? I feel that there too bright and not oem :/
Juts fitted some led sidelights looks good but are currently odd with my main :(
I wanted some xenon headlights but even the reps arnt cheap and what are the pros/cons

I got mine for €12 with shipping included. A couple of months later I could get a spare set for €10. Unbelievable prices...

I don't think of my car as a money investment but more as a way of enjoying myself driving it. I bought it new intended to keep it as long as I enjoyed it, not to sell it after a few years. Modding it has allowed me to enjoy it more and more. :happy2:
-
Not implying that it be worth more money nor that ive bought it as an investment, ive simply bought it as a Vw Golf Gti, as far as value goes im already in pocket on the deal anyway as haven't wasted any money doing pointless mods to a car that was great to start with and already on the limits of physics for a fwd car with no trick differential etc fitted :indifferent:
When looking for my Gti earlier this year soon as started reading adverts if was any mention of remaps or exhausts etc i just discarded it and moved onto the next!
Just saying that only my oppinion but bet that starts becoming a trend with buyers, modded cars are already worth no more than minty original ones so you could say money wasted already really!
If want a monster motor just buy one to begin with out the box few examples of mk5 value alternative monsters -
E46 M3
Evo8
Sti impreza
Etc etc the list goes on
As said mate only my oppinion of course :happy2:

When I bought my Golf I was too young to know better. Today I'd get at least a 2.0 TDI 170 HP or a GTI. :signLOL:
I prefer to update mine to get a new or a used one.
