Matthew's TR 2005 GTI Thread.
« on: September 21, 2010, 05:47:23 pm »
Hi guys, picked the car up a few days ago, and I am hugely impressed with it. Completely different to the Clio Sport 182 I had previously.

Thought I would start this thread so I can post a few pictures as and when the mods happen  :happy2:

Current plans are, (when funds allow) upgrade the wheels to 18" Monza's and to half colour-code the rear valance.

Thanks for looking, Matt.

Love the car mate. Did you know it was pink when you bought it?  :grin:
 Just kidding. TR doesn't photo that well.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yeah I'm sure it will really transform the car. Saving for the cambelt/waterpumb and a major service at the moment, so the mods will have to wait lol

Well small update guys, had a full service, cambelt/waterpump and DV done at Awesome last week, also have just fitted some
18" Monza II's which I'm very pleased with.

I will try get some photos asap.

For now, a quick picture I took last week which I kinda like. :happy2:

Nice looking motor, when I was looking for mine I was favouring Red I think it is definitely one of the best colours.. I really wish I could have gone for a 3 door as well but with babies to get in and out it was just soo not practical... give it a few years and I'll be on the hunt for a 3 door for sure.

Did you notice much difference with the new DV ?

Looks like you got a very tidy car, looking forward to seeing it with the Monza II's, did you keep the old DV would be good to see a pic of the diaphragm.

Howdy mate.

Car looking good and it'll look a thousand times better with the 18's and the rear bumper colour coded. By far the best colour too  :grin:

Car looks so much better on the 18's, getting the rear bumper colour coded in a few weeks too
