Maxitrols build thread-updated 5th aug
« on: June 22, 2010, 09:29:04 pm »
 
  My g/f said she had bought me a xmas present in 2004 a 2.0 gttdi-it came at the time with every mod possible ie full leather,6 disc and 8 speakers-the winter pack and the 17" estoril alloys..



this is the only picture i have in standard spec

The first mod



The car was only 2 months old and i changed the audio



changed the speakers to these all round



then put in a header unit.After 9 different ones i settled on this



by luck i purchased the ipod shelf of e bay for £40

Also put the alpine black bird sat nav in



Last year i purchased some geniune R32 alloys with brand new tyres for £700 of e-bay and some R32 lights

and a private number plate

 i got round to getting these ORIG r32 lights fitted even thou i got them for my birthday 4 weeks ago[:DD]













got a remap done at awesome-which transformed the car-i went back down thier to get the map tweaked but the turbo blow up on thier rollers(no fault of Awesomes)

So i was saving up like mad for some coil overs to get rid of the tractor look and got kw v1 fitted.These pictures where took straight after fitting,the kw have settled now and it is a bit lower..







After the dreaded white worm had attacked the rear badge i purchased the new 3d ones but it sticked out by 2mm which i didn't like



so i got the orig flat badge and got my mate to paint the front and back badges and i debadged it..





Then got these fitted

 



 got high line clocks fitted thanks to Skard-not took any pics of these yet



Rolling shot of my car(thanks Chris_mk4_golf



photo taken  by austin at panelcare in rochdale



 Darren came to my works today and the plan was to go from this

and fit this R32 steering wheel

but then me and Darren swapped and i got this instead



Just like to thank Darren(mortygttdi) for fitting this today

 After 2 long months i would like to thank TurboTrev for saving these for me until i got the cash together 19" bbs ck..my car had orig R32 alloys on..







i had my car detailed last year just before summer as the swirls in the sun light were starting to annoy me every time the sun hit my car and been pearlescent black been one of the worst colours for showing swirls etc...After a few months i stupidly rushed to get my car clean to go to a show and put some swirls in the bonnet and down the sides :stupid:
I contacted Rich after seeing pics of his car perfectly cleaned..i went up to Rich house today and this is the results





 The finish Rich got on the paint work is amazing and his eye for detail is excellent..
   Thank you Rich for today  & it was good to meet you

 i know this is a bit a marmite mod but i like it



before..



during



after





having seen a similiar post i thought i would try this little mod on my car by changing the white reverse lens to a red one out of my old light.....a small little mod but looks a lot better now
 before

after


 



to do list
Porky calipers
exhaust

A new car for a christmas present, can't be bad!!  Some really nice upgrades fitted Andy, although I can't make my mind up about the Mk6 steering wheel.  Stance looks great with the coilovers, maybe needs a really nice set of 19s to complete the look? :evilgrin:

Looks great Andy, you not fancy a GT Sport/GTI front end, cheapish mod that would transform the look  :drool:

Corr, Milltekkkkkkkkkkk  :jumpmove:

That's probably one thing I should do to mine...
Has it added a better response to the rev bands?

Looking very tidy so far on the whole  :happy2:
