I like it! Certainly something different that stands out from the crowd! I love the black VW badge on the boot. How did you go about doing that? :happy2:

cheers mate :happy2:
i removed the badge by sliding a credit card around it untill it came loose then painted it black.
while the badge was off i painted the background to the badge candy white simple as :happy2:
-
Good stuff may have a go at that. Got any other mods planned? :happy2:

yeah just a few more :wink:
paint and fit the new front badge.
revo.
milteck turbo back.
gti skirts.
lower a little :happy2:
all done then hopefully :signLOL:
-
very smart. only thing im not 100% on is the rear badge
-
not sure on the front splitter colour
-
Not sure on the front splitter myself, think i would have the white bit black and the rest white
Looks different though, very nice at the back :wink:
-
^^^^^I AGREE^^^^^
-
if you like it then thats all that matters. i personally dont think you can beat the edition 30 front end in white, all white! the rear badge looks great.
And i Absolutely love charlestons!!
-
UPDATE :
got some new euro plates and a stick on one for the front gonna buy a bigger stick-on front one though as i keep getting pulled :ashamed:

haha nice try on the front numberplate! ;)

-
Lovely looking car with some great individual mods ! 8)
that number plate is mad !!!! :grin:
-
liking it :happy2:
-
looks good mate! didnt know you could get GT models in CW?
-
Just seen this thread!
Car is looking lovely! 8) 8)
I've done a similar number plate mod (sticker front plate) - had it on since 17 December, and had no troubles with the Plod so farrrrrrrrrrrr!! Touch wood!!!!
Albeit, mine is slightly bigger than yours, but still not full size lettering, and non-legal font, however I have legal spacing.
May I ask where you got your plate from, feel free to PM me, incase anyone unfavourable is viewing this forum.

cheers mate,
i got the sticker plate from a lad off ebay as he can do whatever size you want but ive taken it off now got a legal one from craigsplates.co.uk and its on the bonnet :happy2:
-
^^^
Thanks mate! Yeah I had similar thoughts if the Police gave me trouble with mine!
-
I really like the mods you have done, i like the splitter alot, most peeps go the other way and leave it black, looks good imo!!
One question i hope u dont mind me asking, with changing the piping colour on the grill is that an easy job? White looks really good set against the rest of car.

cheers pal, all you have to do is remove the gti grill (2 screws at the bottom of the grill, and two at the top) and you will see there are just little plastic tabs holding the piping on be careful when taking it out tho as i had to do a little repair on mine due to little patience :grin:

The GTI skirts need colour coding IMO, front badge looks awesome :happy2:, have you got a HID xenon conversion kit??
-
yeah I'd paint the skirts white, will help keep the 'line' when looking side-on against the rear bumper cos that comes quite low.
Looking great though and front number plate looks good now :happy2:

Looks brilliant Dan, I really like the direction you are going with the car :happy2: The skirts look much better that I thought, they suit it really well. Put the BBS splits on PLEASE!! They wont look small if its slammed on its arse, just the wind the coilies down a bit more :evilgrin:

open grills ftw! :happy2:

Your car is a looker no doubts. :happy2:
Are you getting any rubbing on the front Dan, it looks close to the bone. :smiley:
-
Tom:
The coilies are on the last threads already :scared: just took the platforms out of the rears today and replaced them with the standard rubber ones.
i will try these black 5 spokes and if they dont look too cracking, save up for some 17" rs (same as mr x5pea).
Greenhouse Top cat:
Plenty of scrubbage on the front :grin: even with the screw mod, i have even folded the metal tabs up into the wing, i only really get it on full lock or when driving enthusiasticaly* :innocent:
my next mods planned are open fog grills, front mudguards and a gti rear spoiler...
thanks again for the great feedback :happy2:

Update 28/5/09:
got the new wheels on, 18" mercedes amg style 3 wrapped in toyo t1-r's 215/40/18 back and 225/40/18 front.
have a bit of scrubbing due to the offset as they are et 35 all around so im looking at getting the arches rolled before my tyres fall apart :grin:
personally i think this has completed the look of the car now and im really happy with it, next up is a gti spoiler some front mudguards and may treat her to some open fog grills :happy2:

Not too sure on the wheels but i do love the car :happy2:
and loving the idea of ce cailpers i think u should do that :wink:
-
Dubwaydan can i ask have you noticed a difference in the way the car rides or handles with having strech tyres on the back
and also why you put wider tyres on the front and not the back. wouldn't that solve the scrubing on the front
I would like to know this as i plan to put 215/40/18 tyres on a 18x8 wheel on the front of my car so i can lower my car more. :happy2:
-
hi mate,
the only reason i put the 215's on the back were because the tyres had already done 300 miles and i want the fronts to last as long as possible (which are brand new)
the scrubbing issues are sorted on the front now, i have folded the metal lip on the inside of the wing all the way around.
i havent noticed any change in the handling at all, still need to test the tyres to their limits :evilgrin: but not had any problems as yet :happy2:
-
dan, 300 miles is bugger all, id swap the over so you have the chunky ones on the back :smiley:
-
i will be taking them off again to fit spiggot rings and wax the wheels as the pick up dirt soo easily, will swap them around and see how it goes for VAG :happy2:
-
havent updated this thread in a while so thort id get some pics up :smiley:
done quite a bit since the last update....
bought and fitted AP coilovers lowered "80" mm at the back and not sure on the fronts.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fpp210%2Fdubwaydan%2FIMG_0311.jpg&hash=6a7710d19a68f478f13d83b2c6dd7961c9819256)
DUBWAY can i ask you how are you finding the AP coilovers and how is the ride with them and have u had to do anything to them mantinance wise...
thinking about getting them and if so would you reccomend them or not..... :happy2:
or if anyone else reading this any reccomendations.... :drinking:
-
ive got weitek coilovers, they are part of the KW group, they are basically KW V1's but a different name and cheaper. :smiley:
-
how would u describe the ride with the weitek espcially on rough roads and humps and do u have to do anything to them matanince wise like keep them lubricated.
also once there on can i adjust the height myself or do i have to take it to a garage an have them adjust height
-
POORMANS UPDATE:
skint at them moment :sad: so i have done a few poorman's mods...
swapped 215/40/18 from back to front to stop scrubbing..
lowered coilovers as far as they will go on the front..
removed supercharger cover and insulation which has given me quite a lot more whine upto 3000rpm :innocent:..
and done a little modification to the rear lights as you can see in one of the pics below :wink: i think it totally transforms the look of the car at night and only cost me £10 for materials !!!....
some recent pics..........

Looks good :happy2: , just wondering though , how did you wire the inners up , i have a spare set ready for that mod to be done for about 2 months now :signLOL:
-
its quite a time consuming job but thats just getting all the interior panels off to route the wires.
firstly drilled and sealed the inners with the new bulbs in.
then ran 2 wires each side to the 12v socket in the boot.
i then just found a plug for the 12v socket and wired the lights upto that,
it means they are always on when ignition is on but they go off once the car is turned off :happy2:
i didnt have to use any resistors or anything like that btw its very simple.
-
looking fantastic mate.
well done. try and get a few more pics of those lights in some different lights. in sun and at night etc! ;)

Yeah, he has wired them so that they come on and off with the other exterior lights whereas yours will come on and off with the ignition won't they?

For the exhaust tip i have gone for a single 4" carbon slashcut which has the look of the ceramic miltek pipes which i was after :wink: and the sound is just what i wanted, you can really hear the turbo through the exhaust and it still pops and coughs like a mofo :happy2:

only adjustment i am going to make is so that the exhaust tip sticks out about half an inch more so you can see the carbonness a little better, would love to hear your comments as always good and bad !!
-
looks good dan!! :happy2:
You not thought about putting one on the other side? ala mk6 gti??
-
Looks kind of funny but i like it. :happy2: I love seeing people pushing the boundaries with a Mk 5. :happy2:
Have you had a look how much the zorst is growing when it gets hot, i agree it needs to be a tad further out, but not by much. They can grow about 3 or 4 inches when hot. :smiley:
-
joe: thought about doing the mk6 style with one of these at each side but wanted to get away from the twin exhaust design and have something different.
since i have owned my car for a year there have been another 3 white r32 reps pop up near me !!, so im trying to make it look a little different now :wink:
tc: nope didnt realize it grew that much ! i had noticed some of the laquer starting to crack though so i will be sanding it down for a matt finish but ill be sure to have a check next time im out for an enthusiastic drive :happy2:

Very stealth and unique :congrats:

30/11/09 Pretty bag one :laugh:
well... the car has been in at plush for the last 10 days getting an air lift products MKV slam kit supplied and fitted.
i had previously bought a full "plug n play" :scared: kit from airbagit.com and tbh the quality of the set up was not the best ( looked like universal stuff modified for a non gti mk5 when i clearly stated the strut was gti size.
anyway i had fitted the compressor, run the lines and made a false floor etc. all the little bits and decided to let luke rip on the actual bags and for a notch on the chassis, at the moment it is around 1" off laying frame, soon to be changed once i get her back :wink:
enjoy...
front bags.

tried the new wheels at the back, if anything im going to need a 10mm spacer as they stick out about 15mm with about 50psi in the bags. once lowered they will lean/camber in and looks like they are goin to be very close to the inner arch.

You still go the LM's on? Think I remember you saying that you had changed the colour of them.
How long have you owned the motor? Any idea of how much you spent on it, or does it hurt to think about that sort of thing? :laugh:

Just read this thread from start to finish, WOW awsome work. :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
Where did you get the front splitter? Have you got a link? :happy2:

New pics needed! :signLOL:

that number plate can't be doing much good for cooling... but thats not really the point is it lol.
car does look good and i can appreciate the engineering in there... but im not a huge fan of silly low cars.
well done though mate :) any further plans?
-
updatesssss.
had the interior done in neptune green ad im loving it :grin:
luke @plush has trimed the dash, seats, door cards, centre console, custom mats and armrest.

i have added an r32 rear spoiler painted by myself in plastic effect and im currently ftting my new billet images, heres a taster :innocent:
