Lone_Par's diamond black MK5 Golf GTI
« on: May 03, 2012, 10:08:17 pm »
Had a my MK5 07 plate golf gti for a month now, so thought I'd start posting here now. Nothing major done at the moment other than a minor detail using Auto Finesse products, I've added GTI decals to the front seat handles, fitted a pioneer avh-2400BT head unit and had the rear windows tinted in light smoke.

The next thing on the to do list is getting the Monza's refurbished by The Wheel Specialist in Aberdeen. Going for Satin Matt Black. Then it's eibach sport lines and rear calipers repainted. Also got a black VW for the front grill and going to replace the interior lights with LEDs.  

Just after I bought it...

Then after my mini detail - wash, clay, polish and sealant.

Got the wheels refurbished in matt black today at the wheel specialists - very happy with the end result. I know they won't be everyone's cup of tea but I like em!!!





Also fitted my black badge eventually!


Next up led conversion internally and I've got Westons osir instrument surround on order!

Sportlines are being fitted next month and rear calipers are being powder coated at the same time.

How easy was the surround to fit, was it a dash out job??

It's just a cover mate so it sticks over the top of the instruments. 5 minute job.

Looks like satin black mate, same finish as a spare I've got going for sale now for peanuts - it's completely as new/not used since refurb'. If you need one, shout!   :happy2:
