Lovely car!
What's the build number plaque in the center console? Is it a limited edition model or is it a plaque just made up for it? :)


How do you find the B14s? I've B12s on ours and fine on smooth roads but very harsh on backroads and then rolls and rubs abit on track so thinking of just switching to coilovers

It's a normal gti I just believe the previous owner though it would be a nice touch which I kinda like. I'll be honest the b14s are alright but again can be a little harsh

Good choice on the BC coilovers, that's what i'm running. Great off the shelf budget coilover. I went for the S3 Alloy hubs when doing mine too. I'd like to do the alloy arms but want some with no/sh*t bushes so i can go polybush!

Good progress matey.

I've got R32 rear brakes on mine too. Have standard front hubs still but witj alloy arms with polybushes and adjustable roll centers.

Let us know how you find the BCs on the GTI in comparison to what you've had. I've got them on my E46 M3 and they're a brilliant all-rounder to be fair!

Do you still have the BBS wheels? If so are they for sale?

Unfortunately oil pump failure has killed the mk5 I weighed up the cost of fixing vs breaking and moving on and it just wasn't feasible to get her running again so unfortunately she's being broken. However I have put a deposit on this and I'm hoping to collect Sunday

That has some great mods on it. I bet that exhaust sounds gorgeous.

Are you selling any interesting parts off the mk5?
