took me a while to find one that fitted what i wanted, knew i wanted a 3 door united grey gt tdi, and that it had to have the later front on as i felt it looks alot better,
I finally found this on in south wales which was about 3 hours from me but was worth the trip, the mileage although high to some 105k was right for my budget, it had the black grill and head lights that i wanted and full heated leather

First thing i order was a set of coilovers, nothing to fancy just jom's for now when my wallets a bit fuller i ll change to something a bit better,

although i said i wanted the black grill it was more the head lights i wanted due to planning to change to the gti style honeycomb front

the next thing was probably the hardest as with any car project is wheels,
spent ages looking for what i wanted,
ended up choosing Dare dr-X2 in 8x18 in matt gun metal finish and i really like them

Aesthetically might just need a GTI rear spoiler and a roof spoiler.
For the front brakes you just need to upgrade to GTI carriers, pads and discs.
A remap will make that engine work much better and a bit more economical with a sensible throttle use. :smiley:
Post by: Danno84 on August 09, 2015, 05:14:08 pm
I plan to go for gti style exhaust and rear bumper spoiler and roof spoiler very soon :)
As for remap I'd like do I ve plugged a psi running box in and it went very well on it but took off after a day's not sure I trust them as just sits in line if the injector loom :/

I like them both so its a tough decision but if it was me I would probably paint the gti grill matt black and lose the red stripe

Thanks for the input so far, main plan with the car was to build a gti spec diesel hence the gti grill and red brakes,
Should probably stick to the plan rather than second guess my self
Post by: Shoduchi on August 19, 2015, 01:04:46 pm
I want the ed30 spoiler might have it textured tho as not sure I want colour coded skirts and rear valance,Ed. 30 replicas sold in ebay are smooth black ABS plastic or smooth black reinforced fibreglass (not textured like the side skirts). Just the GTI spoiler (that has the lower lip compared to yours) has the same textured surface.

Would have to did it out of loft, but got the main centre grill, lower centre grill and the 2 side grills, you would need bumper ang lower spoiler fog lights and badges

Looks better with that grill in for meI think that it's a trim that covers the lower grill surround. In the Jettas and Variants it's chrome, in GT and GT Sports it's black.

I think it comes included with the lower bumper grill, so you don't need to get it separately. :happy2:

Doubt there's any benefit from the induction kit at all, but it was free so I thought I'd give it ago, if there's no gains or even a loss as suggested it will come off, doesn't sound or feel any different so prob won't stay on,Diesel engines air boxes are good, much better than that induction kit. Search online, I'm sure you can find the explanation. :happy2:
The spoiler was an eBay find,

Taken the induction kit off this morning if there no gains or even a loss it's not worth having it on
Cheers for the input,

Also swapped back to my gti front, honestly think I prefer it, although don't like the whole replica image :sad1:That looks very tidy mate. Love the wheels - had a very similar set on my old mk4.

If it was me though I'd lose the GTD badge (we all know there's no such thing as a mk5 GTD) and maybe spray the red strip black/grey. That should move you away from the GTI Replica look..! But that's just me.

Put gtd badges on as didn't want to use gti badges, but if I lose the badges the grill has the mounting point on it and just looks odd with out a badge, would of liked it if my gt sport badge would of fitted the grill,
Nothing wrong with the GTD badge mate :happy2:
Post by: Shoduchi on November 29, 2015, 05:05:02 pm
You can argue about the red stripe in the grill but I personally like it better that way. A chrome strip would look a bit weird, I think.
I made my own mk5 GTD and it has enough power and handling to wear that badge. :smiley:
Post by: Danno84 on November 30, 2015, 07:38:43 am
And fit gti or s3 brakes,
I think the red strip works well don't like them in other colours, it matcha in with the red calipers and contrasts the grey nicely

Loving the work you've done on this fan! I've owned a mk5 tdi 4motion sport for s few months now and want to do a front end conversion to either gti/gt style. How difficult was this for you any mods the existing structure needed? Cheers!
Mine had the same front bumper as the gti from factory just different grills,
On yours you would either need too change the front panel too a gt/gti one or trim the gti bumper too fit,

Ok thanks! I've got the standard tdi pre facelift model so very plain Jane! Would need to put a whole new bumper on as I don't think the front panel would fit. Just wondering where the mods would need to be and I've read you need to support the radiator to the engine...?Loving the work you've done on this fan!

I never liked the colour-coded centre grill. It's the contrast between the body work and the black centre grill that really does it for me in the GT Sport/GTI/Ed. 30.. :smiley:
Totally this!
I have a black car, so will never get that nice contrast that looks so good. Saying that, Dans car looks great!
