New Plans
« on: November 20, 2008, 12:35:55 pm »
Right guys just want you thoughts on this one. Subject to me selling my ED30 I will be getting a GT170 Diesel in Black 3dr, hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. I want to break away from the norm on this one and go for a euro look. I have found a few photos of what I want the car to look like. Please look at the link below (it is the black golf a quarter of the way down the page with deep dish wheels on and a belgium plate)  :laugh: :jumpmove:

http://www.golfmk5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66&page=8

My new car will have the exact same rear bumper as the one pictured (votex) and I would like the bottom half of the bumper smoothed into the top half (no gaps) exactly as the owner of this car has done. I also want the number plate recess made smaller to fit a smaller style plate  :jumpmove: I am also not going to have 4 hideous exhaust pipes, I dont want mine to be visible at all, oh an also smoked R32 rear lights. Now onto the wheels, I have got a price on the exact ones pictured and they aint too pricey so I am either going to go for these or BBS LM replicas in a 19' fitment. I would like your guys thoughts on my plans and also any recommendations on wheels type or any cosmetic modifications that could be improved upon  :happy2:

I had a 170 TDi Leon.  Are you aware that the 170 engine has a DPF fitted, and this has effect on the remap potential.  Also i found the economy to be quite poor.  About 42 max.

Yeah I know about the DPF. Milltek have know developed a DPF removal pipe and this adds to the mapping potential. You can expect around 220-230 bhp with a good map and the DPF removed  :happy2: If I get 42 mpg I will be over the moon, it has got to be better than the 23-24 I am currently averaging  :smiley:

That car could not be more OEM plus!! That is the style I am trying to achieve. There has been no big bumpers and hood scoops put on there has just been a few bits smoothed! The car in the link has those 4 exhausts which I would stay well away from! The only thing on mine that would not be OEM is the wheels and suspension  :happy2:

Yeah I thought that  :surprised: Getting the arches rolled aint too much of a problem though and as long as I get the right fitment the wheels it shouldn't be necessary  :happy2:

I'll be sorry to see the only other custom-code phase 2  car go, but can understand your personal reasoning.

The Euro look you are after looks like you are going for the smoothed look too, maybe remove the side door mouldings too. An easy mod which looks very subtle too. :happy2:

Damn those diesels for being frugal :fighting:

Why not get a 140 GT TDI and map it?

I think most 170 GT TDI's have the GTi front? i may be wrong, i had Revos demo Passatt (170 model Mapped) while
they had my car for MPH last year.

To be honest it was alittle undrivable low down with all the torque, quick midrange though.

Just picked up a facelift A3 2.0 TDI 140 Sport for my otherhalf on Wednesday, will be mapped tomorrow and full s-line kit before
xmas, no mods for the Golf for abit.
