My Mkv Golf, Reflex Silver 2.0 tdi
« on: December 02, 2011, 06:39:10 pm »
Intoduced myself months ago, so I suppose I better stick up a bit of a thread.  Have the car two years now, hasn't put a foot wrong, long may it continue.  It's the 140bph version, only performance mods so far are a remap to 170ish and an ITG panel filter (though technically not a performance upgrade)

Bought the car in Belfast from Issac Agnew (9 month old demo, 9k on the clock) Live in the south, near Dublin

when I bought it




Colour code front/rear valance, R-Line Fog grills and german style number plates






Milltek cat back




Debadged rear, Edition 30 rear bumper, Gti side skirts and Votex roof spolier all colour coded









Number plate LED's (not a great pic)


Osram nightbreaker plus 90% mains and dips, blue vision side lights


Lamin-X fogs, Gti lower grill




H&R spacers: 10mm each side at front and 15mm at rear (again crap pic)


Black VW emblem




Golf ball gear gator, 3m carbon wrapped trims







US spec tinted tail lights



LED side marker (hard to see with the phone pic)





Currently have these on my classix at the moment (which will become my winter wheels) Nankang SV2, very impressed with them in the wet so far, had Michelin HP Primacys on which weren't a bad tyre at all, but once the temp has dropped there is a noticeable improvement with the Nankangs


My new summer wheels
BBS VZ033's 18x8J, ET44.  Was thinking of a set of Pescara's but the lower offset on the VZ's made my mind up.  Gorgeous finish on them.  Got the BBS valve caps as well to finish them off


Briefly fitted two of them, had to see them on a for a quick peek and of course it started lashing rain straight away (gave them 6 coats of poor boys wheel sealant over a couple of days, brilliant finish on them now) classix are back on again for the winter




So thats as far as I am.  With the VZ's on it just highlights the need for a bit of lowering all the more, probably go H&R springs or a H&R cup kit if I can stretch.  Also replace the interior bulbs with LED's, really nice difference, I stick up pics soon.

Thanks very much for the replies lads.  There are some serious examples on this forum, plenty of inspiration!
Too much inspiration at times!!! Suspension will be looked at next. Getting married in June and heading to oz for the honeymoon so the car fund will be seriously restricted.........for a while! :signLOL:

Mr jass, love the user name by the way!  :signLOL:

I know Scott, that's the problem, there is always something else I'd like to fit and looking through the likes of yours and mortys build threads certainly doesn't help  :signLOL: merely feeds the addiction!

You've car is in great shape, fantastic amount of mods done and all oem+, just the way I like it!

Well I stuck on the BBS VZ's (18x8, et44) yesterday. Really happy with them, fantastic finish, iphone doesn't really do them justice.
Forgot to match up the angles of the BBS badges, job for another day! Need to find somewhere new to take pics  :smiley:  Also changed the interior bulbs for LED's but cant get decent pics on the phone, light is nice and crisp.

Not a significant difference in ride comfort compared to 17's.


BBS valve caps I thought are a nice touch


 VW bolt covers, cheap as chips from ebay but finish it off
