Thanks again for the compliments guys!
So, I dropped the car in to Volks Autos in Sutton yesterday for a DSG service. Thought I may as well get a couple more things done while it was in, so they also did an oil change service, cam follower change, DV change (revision G) and had a look over the mechanicals. There was one split CV gaitor they swapped over for me, otherwise gave it a clean bill of health
I highly recommend them, fantastic service and good prices. The service manager, Chris, also happens to drive a mk5 gti, so knew his stuff. They're also an APR dealer too if you're so inclined.
I've already started thinking about mods to the car, started with an easy couple of changes. Updated the xenon bulbs which were a slightly yellowy-white and slightly dim, to some crisp, bright 6000K morimoto bulbs. i have the same in the RS and they're great. Also updated the sidelights to some LEDs. Sourced the bulbs from Trups (aka EM Tuning) who is a sponsor on the audi-sport and RS246 forums. He tells me he can also do his famous clear projector lens mod to the Golf, which should give lots more light output....might do that in future.
OEM and Trups LED sidelights side by side:
New xenon bulbs:
Thinking about the following fairly soon:
- Bluefin. (The wife reckons the GTi is boring!
This should sort her out. I don't think she's taken it out of auto yet either haha)
- H&R springs
- Tint front windows to match rear
- Light tints to front and rear lights
- New 18's, wifey wants to pick them out. Mesh type design.
