Jedi-Knight's Tornado Red 'fully loaded' OEM+ GTI - FOR SALE

[jedi-knight83]

New mk6 clocks and climate panel in.



£240 fitted for the clocks and £140 for the climate / loom / facia. More than I wanted to spend on this but it looks nice now.

I'm still not happy with how the mk6 clocks look in the scirocco surround but thats the only way they will fit ... for now 

Plan is to modify the mk6 ones to fit the mk5 dash

MK6 for reference.

Then after all that work... I thought it was about time I actually drove it... Filthy already on the A4069 in south wales



That's a nice back drop there Nathan.


MK6 rad halo clocks ready for Eddie_NL to fit. I think these will look pretty sexy!


Just out of intrest, how did you light the clocks up without plugging them into the car, just want to test mine before I put them in.

They are definitely different mate, hopefully I'll get a sneak preview on Saturday if your still about when I arrive.

Any update if you found a way round the clock surround issue?  I too am not keen on the scirocco surround.

Just read through your full thread there and what a stunning car you've built mate

not yet. I've got the mk6 surround and just need to find time to test fit it. I've got a friend at a model making company who can then try to modify it to look OEM.

Lovely car mate! Has anybody answered your questions about suspension and bushes as I will be asking all the same questions very soon!

Nope. no answer yet.

nice car, the detailed red looks great, but the mk6 dials are pretty cool!

She's getting old now. 89400 miles. Little things starting to break.

Replaced the passenger side door lock today. Bit of a mission removing the door skin but it ended up looking scarier than it was in reality.



Wiper mechanism seized and snapped as well. Apparently common on quite a few VW. Another £100 down the drain.

Still loving the car though and not planning to sell her yet

An epic car you've built mate! So clean only thing similar I have is the bbs in black with a silver lip but they're 18"s!
Wondering where you got your bbs centre caps from as I've struggled to find them!
