Just placed a deposit on a GTI! Couple of questions on mods

[smoftah]

Hi Everyone,

I have just bought myself a 2006 56' reg 3 Door Black GTi 25k miles with the following options:

18" Monza Wheels
Factory Xenon Headlamps
Factory Sat Nav
Factory Sunroof
Winter Pack
Highline Computer
I-pod connectivity
Multifunction steering wheel

I collect the car on Thursday and can not wait! 

I have ordered the R32 style rear lower valance with the exhaust cut out to one side to keep the original exhaust, from The Bay, but the bumper does not come with the reflectors. Does anybody know where I can source these from or the part numbers to order from VW please?

Also I want to retro-fit cruise control too. Can anybody enlighten me on how to go about getting this done?

I have booked the car in Essex to have a full custom leather retrim in Truffle leather! 

I am planning to take the car to the ring in May also  but will be sad to see my Abarth 500 go.

Also just to a big Hello to you all!

Hi and welcome. That's a bloody good spec! How much you paying for it?

Have a search for cruise control in the search bit - quite a few people have done this. You need the stalk, may need repair wires and a few other bits'n'bobs.

Remember to post some pics up when you get the car. Or better still create a Member's Ride thread and updTe us on your mods there.

Thank you for the welcome.

I paid £12,450 for the car.

Just counting down the days till I get it now!

Also planning to get ED30 rear lights or try tinting the originals as I have just found on the forum.

That  seems like a very good price for the spec, good find. Will be good to see some pics.

[smoftah]

Thanks.

I will get pics up asap! After going through this forum more I can see the mods list increasing 

Adding metal seat inserts as well now!

[smoftah]

Thanks for the welcome. I can see already this forum is getting addictive!

Do you know if anyone else has had a truffle / tan coloured interior put a GTi before?

[smoftah]

I didnt realise you need to reach 10 posts to email someone so please excuse the pics of my old cars ( Need to email them to get some metal seat inserts! ) 

[smoftah]

My Toyota Corolla 2.0 D-4D ( Needed lowering badly! )

[smoftah]

Then I bought this Focus ST-3

[smoftah]

After 8 months got rid of the ST and bought a bit of summer fun a BMW 330Ci M Sport Convertible

[smoftah]

After 6 months in the BMW and one big leak in the boot that ruined the sat nav & TV unit I bought my little babino - Abarth 500



Sad to see it go tomorrow but need to make way for the GTi!  

And that is 10 posts and I will stop posting rubbish
