Tornado Red Gti, K04, TTRS Brakes +lots, lots more.
« on: July 03, 2011, 09:09:15 pm »
Hi Guys,

This is my Gti:



Came with the following from the factory:

DSG
MFSW
Sunroof
Heated Leather

Stayed standard up until a year ago then I went a bit nuts  :signLOL:

The mods:

Forge Twintake
Forge Twintercooler
Forge DV
BSH PCV Fix
ATP Downpipe/Decat
Cat-Back Miltek
KMD Pump Internals
Custom Map



H&R Twintube Coilovers
Mtech Disks
EBC Yellow Stuff pads

Edition 30 Front Lip/Black centre
Open fog light grills

Alcantara wheel/Red stitching:



3-Piece RH AL Cup Wheels 18x8.5



I'm sure I'm forgetting lots!!.

All opinions welcome.

Engine is currently blown, wondering if its much hassle to stick an S3/Edition 30 one in??.

Looking very tidy mate,
Think you should get something done to the air bag now to really complement that steering wheel trim. :happy2:

Thanks man.

Thinking of doing it in carbon fibre along with the DSG paddles, I have a bit of a carbon fetish.  :grin:

Rolling shot:



Something I've been working on, polished Monza II's:

Only crappy phone photos. It was only a quick effort to see what worked and what didnt. Going to be re-done.



And the difference:
