Bryans Black GTI -

[gobbleplease]

I notice you have put aside the whole of next Saturday to do the R32 lights. Its only a 2 minute job with a 10 mil spanner.  

Are you a builder.  

Oh right cheers mate, so thats a 10 minute job with a 2mm spanner  

Nothing ever takes me two minutes..................................................... Well one thing does, but its best we dont talk about that  

[gobbleplease]

I'm unsure about the InPros... are they worth the effort/cost?  Is the effect good? Somebody help!!! 

Have a look at my pics mate and decide, I think they are a must on a black car, not sure if id bother on silver or white, i would on red and grey though, The first one is a bit of a pain as you are not sure if you are pulling in the correct places but once the first one is done the next is only a 10 minute job unless you are cleaning, lubing ect. Id say worth it though

If I could get ahold of bright enough indicator bulbs, I think I'd rather get the indicators laminxed. From what I understand, the inpro ones apparently just have a black base so looks darker but isn't very dark. I want stealthed indicators.

Got a link for the inpro's? Can't seem to find them?  

They have went up in price mate, its back to (£35.14) Delivery is free though !
The link has not went right to it for some reason, just click side repeaters and VW

you are correct just a black base, with the normal clear lense. The quality of the inpros are very good and well up to OEM levels.
Stealth wolf have you used laminx before ? After applying it to the fogs im not that convinced by the material, it is pretty thick and not that easy to work with on curves. I will say though that even the smoked covering lets light though pretty well (my mate has it on his indicators), like you said though the small vw repeaters arnt the best so this might cause problems.

I had the inpro side lenses on my mk5 - great subtle mod.....and worth the £45 I paid on ebay

Well at the start of golf ownership, i hated the big red blob lights at the rear of the car, but over time i have actually started to like them, thus delaying the addition of the R32 rears.
Today i decided to go for it and fit the r32s rears, they are deffo a big improvement over standard on black cars and i love them !  



The only thing now is im not sure about the rear end with these fitted . I think it doesnt look right and im thinking its the VW badge. I liked the silver VW badge with the silver GTI badge but now the addition of the r32 lights and red gti badge makes it look out of place.

My options were go back to standard silver badges or try and remove and paint the rear badge. I decided the later so i removed the rear badge today (without breaking any clips  ) to give me an idea of how it would look.



From this i think it would look better in black, so im going to rub it down and paint it satin black tonight !

Another modification i done today was fill up the tyres with air which has been my best mod yet !

I might even wash it soon

I think you've got the theme spot on Bryan, really like the concept and results 

I've got a red rear Anni GTI badge and I think they should've come out of the factory with them red 
Keep up the tidy work.

Cheers Pete 

It will be finished in April bar a remap and IC, i wanted OEM +, i dont like cars that stand out too much

Cheers !

Anyway today was a really nice day and i should off really done some of my exterior mods, but i didnt have much time on my hands so i decided to finish the interior off.

I always liked the interior and thought it was a nice place to be so i didnt want to go overboard, so i decided to just fit a couple of things.

1) Aluminium climatronic surrounds
2) Trim mounted 106 gti red badge
3) Dimpled aluminium mirror adjuster
4) Poppy coral
5) Aluminium GTi seat inlays
6) Carbon Fibre Tax disk Holder

When i was in the middle of doing this i left the car door open and went in the house to get a cloth to clean the window, when i came back there was a cat doing a piss on my seat the bugger managed to jump out the car and just past my foot before i could made contact with it, lucky little ba5tard, anyway this added an extra 2 hours on to my fitting time to clean up its piss and footprints that were all over the seats.

got to say my Fav mods today have to be the climatronic surrounds, and Red GTI badge they really draw the eye and set off the interior. Im really happy with the inside now and i think all parts work well together to brighten up the cabin even the poppy coral makes a big differance IMO  

Where did the Gti seat  inlays come from buddy?

Bryan. lovely looking car, but please for the love of god take off the GTI badge you put on the dash by the passenger seat, or at least get on Awesome or E bay and get a VW one.
