Jonny's Golf GTI

[Jonny]

Thought I'd transfer the stuff from the welcome thread over to here as hopefully I'll be having mods done ;) I've had the car since the end of January and I'm loving it especially as I came from a 05 plate polo

Already had the rear valance sprayed in the first week after i got it and changed the sidelights and dipped lamps, just saving up some more money to spray the side skirts and front spoiler, I'm only 22 so hard to get a lot of cash haha

Also fitted some Ed30 rear lights today thanks to Andrew aka ni-coilovers.co.uk, definitely look 100% better, can't believe standard GTI are so crappy :D

I'd like to get some bi-xenon headlights but they are waay out of my price range for now especially after I'll have to get washers n all, so I think I'll go for the hella "look-a-like" xenons.

Pics below :)

Looks Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles better Jonny 

[Jonny]

Cheers monte :D

Just ordered some Hella Xenon "Look" headlights for £280 new which looking on ebay seems a good price :D They're going to be dispatched next Wednesday sooo I'm hoping they will be there for the week after


That's means as long as they arrive unmarked, I'll have a set of GTI headlights and rear lights up for sale, so give me a pm if you're interested ;)

Got home from work today and I found a little surprise in the living room :D

Can't wait to get these fitted on the weekend, just hope the weather is ok, ordered new bulbs last week as well so it should look

Great looking Reflex Silver example! Definitely better now with rear valence and ED30 lights added. Not realised how red the original GTi rear lights are! £280 for headlights is a great price! Get some pictures uploaded once fitted, interested in getting a set myself!

Cheers KC, yeah the ED30 rear lights make a huge difference :D


Finished work early and the weather was great so it was my opportunity to get these headlights on.... All went smoothly apart from refitting the bloody bumper, arms are ripped to shreds lol but the end result is worth it 

Just need to go to my mates garage to get these baby's aligned

Fantastic stuff  Now get some pictures of the lights on at night! 

Are the lights just plug and play? or do any of the cables need modifying etc?

[Jonny]

I'll get some pics later tonight ;)

The lights are plug and play, all I had to do is change the bulbs in them to the new ones i bought which takes all of 2 minutes, definitely worth buying :D

[Jonny]

As promised here's some quick night pics ;)

These are just with side & dipped on ;)

Looking good, looks a nice crisp white

Quick update, nothing visual yet... Just bought a new Rcd-510 which will be a definite improvement over the bog standard rcd-300 Sooo I have to buy the adaptor and I'm crossing my fingers I won't have an issue with the battery drain. Do you guys know if I can only tell by using vag-com or is the a visual sign on the gateway?

Cheers

[Gtiain]

Looks great. Best colour 

[Jonny]

Just a quick update no pics though, Just fitted my new rcd-510 and I have to say what a difference 

Fingers crossed now that I won't have the battery drain

  Nice one Jonny…..why no RNS510 though?

Wish I had £500/600 to splash out for one but I don't :( After paying bills etc I just about managed a 510 on very good mates rates
