Patrick's MK5 GTI - added some pictures
« on: August 16, 2011, 08:42:00 am »
I have bought my first Golf MK5 GTI november last year. This is how it started  :grin:



Some spec as it was:
Tornado red
3 Door
Manual
Arm rest
Bluetooth
Xenon
NAV
Climate Control
CD exchenger
Parking sensors

And this how it is now:





In the mean time some small changes have been made  :party:

Side skirts and front spoiler painted
KW var 1 mounted
Deleted GTI badges
Mounted R32 rear lights
New wheels  :laugh: BBS CK 19"
US lights  :innocent:
partial black front VW badge

Upcoming changes:
UK reverselens
Wiper delete


Still want:
Brakes upgrade
Exhaust - Miltek?
Carbon mirrors  :party:


I also want to lower the car a bit (especially in de back) but I am already on the lowest position possible and I think it is beter not to remove the adjusters in the back - any ideas / suggestions  :happy2:

That's a stunning result you have there Patrick  :happy2:

Some mods after my own heart there  :drinking:
I wanted to go for the 19"s too and also considered CK's but decided for a slightly different style of rim.

I'm always extremely proud to wear the iconic GTI badge front and rear on mine, but I think somehow it suits yours very well. Usually I wouldn't encourage it.

I don't recall seeing the darker CK rims on red MK5s too often but it works very well.

BTW, fogs as DRL's in the last pic?

Thank you for all the compliments, I like the car very much how it is right now but somehow I still want to find some extra changes  :laugh:

I cannot recall putting any pictures on GolfmkV but maybe they just look the same  :signLOL:

On the last photo you can see the fogs as DRL's  :pomppomp: some guys told me that is was not possible but here they are  :innocent:
