My Black GTI with one or two mods....
« on: March 07, 2009, 04:49:50 pm »
Hi just thought i would post up some pics of my GTI. Just done a "amateur" detail on it (Or ANAL as my missus says).

Washed, clay barred and waxed.

Mods:

Forge Valve
Millteck Non Res Catback
REVO Stage 1
Dibilas Induction kit

Black VW Emblems and Red GTI Badges
Colour coded front and rear spoilers and side skirts
Smoked indicator lenses on mirrors

Chrome switchs
Pioneer F900BT Head unit

Standard the car had every option from the factory bar the bucket seats so a nicely specced car.

Only other things i would like to possibly do are:

New speakers and a sub
Upgrade brakes

Enjoy

Matt

Heres the pics:

Welcome to the forum Matt 8)

Yeah, I agree with CT. The Milltek sticks out about 2" too far and isn't level.

Nicely specced car and looking good :happy2:
Golf R gone.

we've got the same head unit  :happy2:

car looks good, the milly does need re-seating fella cos that's definately not right, they do require a good wriggle to get them in properly then hung correctly

Thanks Cherry,

Have you upgraded your speakers at all? If so what did you go for?

Thanks

ive got hertz in the front and focal polyglass V1's in the rear, SO much better than the stock rubbish  :happy2:

soon to be complimented with a 12" sub and amp in the boot  :party:

Hi Cherry,

Been a bit slack to be honest so not tried. Will let you know if i get anywhere!

Was it hard changing the speakers? or did you get a shop to do it?

You can get it on-line for about £700, its well worth it.
