NOW SOLD - AjayB's Build Thread- GT TDI

[AjayB]

Thought i'd start a little thread as i'm going to be doing quite a bit to the car and would like opinions and suggestions from you guys  

The cars a 2004 2.0 GT TDI [140]
Reflex Silver
Remapped by Awesome GTi - 180bhp // 290lbft
Lowered on H&R 35mm soon to be changed
20% tints - Probably change these to a little lighter shade
Front GT facelift conversion with a straight fit GT/GTI bumper from Vagen.vg

Mods i am planning to do are listed in my Sig.

The car looked like this when i got it-




I then got the tints, springs and some spare alloys that were floating around put on-







Then came the remap done at Awesome and full service with engine flush-



I got bored over Xmas so decided to wrap some interior trim-



After buying the car i realised that it had been subject to some previous body work and been covered up by the garage i bought it off, the paint was peeling after a few washes, rear arch has lost its line a bit (only noticeable upon close inspection) so i decided to get a full side respray done to rectify the problems. Just got the car back today-

From this when i dropped it off-


To this-



And finally-



I will get some proper pictures taken in the daylight and post them, but for now i am really pleased with how its turned out. Lots more to come.. (NEW PICTURES BELOW A FEW REPLIES)

Any suggestions on new wheels would be a great help.. really struggling with what to get.

What about the new ed35 wheels they would look nice on yours   Or the new GTI/RS3 wheels?? My local wheel/tyres place has just got them in stock and could do them cheapish...or you could get them from the bay a bit cheaper.

Ed35 optional wheels


Ed35 standard wheels

Oh i like the look of the 2nd set of Eddy wheels! Which wheel place is this Darren? i might go check them out.. definitely want something in Anthracite or Black.

[JoeDarKa]

Im liking the second set of eddy wheels too!

[AjayB]

So heres how the car looks now with some better pictures  

[AjayB]

Fitted some new LED number plate lights last night, the looks great although are quite bright. I'm looking for some Projector headlights.. anyone know anywhere to get them cheapish?

[Jogon]

Hi , car looks great , roughly how much for a full re-spray ???

[AjayB]

Cheers fella, i paid £600 for this respray on the side.. a full respray would be considerably more.. Probably around £1500 or so i reckon. The work thats been done is very good and has totally sorted any issues the car had previously.

Thanks 
Derv is the future....

[mortygttdi]

Yes mate CH's came from there, they are a distribution company so supply to he likes of Lark Speed and other performance companies.
