Oxygen's lil Reflex Silver number
« on: September 24, 2011, 10:14:01 am »
Hi, my names Andy, not so new to the forum but i've been a silent observer for a while. Thought it was time i changed that!
 
A couple of years ago i built a MK4 GTI,


loved it to pieces and enjoyed owning it, but i decided it was time for a new project and after falling in love with a few smartly modded Mk5's i decided i had to have one.

So after hunting for a while (and wasting money on silly toy cars like Renault sport Clios as stop gaps!) i finally found my Reflex Silver GTI last year, Clean tidy example with low Miles. I was amazed at just how clean it was, def worth the Long journey from London up to Preston!





So she stayed standard for the winter whilst i collected the first batch of goodies!!

Picked up Some BBS CH's 19X8. Needed a bit of a clean up, but i already has plans for them.....


Popped them in for a refurb in gunmetal


and tyres fitted......


Mr H&R made a special delivery.....Ultra lows


Then all fitted on the car



cars come on a bit since these pics though but will post those pics a little later.......... :wink:

Actually, its not that different to standard which obviously is reasonably firm. For sure its a lil firmer on the bumpy roads, but generally its not much different. Comes with buying decent coilovers imo.
