05 GTi - Graphite Blue

As modifications are starting to gather, i thought i'd start a build thread. Nothing has actually been done to the car as yet apart from Parrot bluetooth and full magnex but suspension, wheels and new (private) plates are on their way in the coming few weeks.

here is my TT



which i sold to make way for...



full leather  :)

currently trying decide between 17's or 18's. would love to have some 17's and subtle drop but not sure if that'll work 

[Greeners]

Very nice pal 

BTW, gotta be 18's to fill those arches a bit better

i know mate, i'm more of a 'euro' guy though. i'm an Edition 38 regular ya see. i love mk5's like....




i dunno what guys over on this forum think of these 

[tonyh]

[Top Cat]

I say go for it, you already have a unique colour, its no good for the scene if we all do the same thing.

IMO If you go 17's then you would need to slam it to pull it off..

not going for tuck though jonnyc, i'll be going for just the right amount of poke for me. 17's and slammed would mean either air or scraping, and i want neither of those things

Poke and high?? Brave move mate..

Still looking forward to seeing it, love the Rs's on the MK5 :)

no no no, not high. just not uber low and tucked.
arch sitting about 5mm above the tyre with some subtle poke. won't be to erevyone's taste, but what is.
not going for RS's, wish i could afford em but the wheels i'm hopefully collecting next week will be a first on a mk5 i'm told...

[jonnyc]

Ah sweet, sorry, thought you were thinking of only about 30mm lower or something like that.. 4x4 spec 

Cool mate, cant wait to see it 

[JPC]

looking great mate. the magnex is looking nice too

[broke.]

you see, this is my problem. my car is on the 17" monza's, but the arches are only 20mm MAX distance from to the top of the tyre. I've only had the car just over a week but i'm told its on original suspension...? -30mm would be scraping to high hell if i'm on standard GTi springs now. this is why i'm unsure what to do.

[jonnyc]

I doubt very much that its on standard springs if its that low..

Cant see from the pics that you have posted up..

Just go with a set of coilovers then you can have it exactly as you like
