Cooper's GTI
« on: June 15, 2009, 11:00:05 pm »
Owned my GTI for just over a year now, covered 27k in it and loved it  :driver:

When I got it there was still a years warranty so I didn't want to do any major mods that may have compromised it, as I need my car for work.

First little mods were red GTI badges and open fog grills




Next was some R32 rear lights and some cool blue interior bulbs, aswell as having all four Monza II's replaced under warranty,


The car stayed like this for quite a while, until recently I lamin-x'd my front fogs yellow and bought some FK Koenigsport Silverline X coilovers from jonnyc, and an EVOMS intake from a member over on golfgti.co.uk, who thought it was too loud, I managed to get the coilovers, and intake fitted over the last week and then got my OEM bonnet bra today so I gave my car a clean and took some pics







New wheels are getting fitted on Friday just in time for Big Fat Tour, they currently being refurbished by Wheel Repair Centre (taking advantage of the forum discount) so I will post pics up on the weekend, really looking forward to getting them on, here's a pic of them when they were last refurbished on my friends TT at Ultimate Dubs




Since then my friend has just let them rot so they needed a refurb before they went on my car, pics to follow

They are RH ZW4's fronts 8.5J and the rears have a deeper dish and are 9.5J, they are 5x112, but not entirely sure on the offset, I did a test fit before I lowered it to get an idea of what they'd look like




They should be fine,

Think I will be lowering it a little more when they are on, just waiting till I get them on to set the ride height properly  :happy2:

They are the OEM ones from oempl.us, the part numbers on the packing list are
Front - 1K6853679RED
Rear - 1J0853675AK

I think oempl.us make the front ones themselves though so get two of the rear ones and just pull the letters off the plinth on the front grill a stick the red ones on  :happy2:

The coilovers are good they have given me a nice drop and there's still loads of thread left on the adjusters to go lower, I think that they are on the firmest setting but they're not crashy, haven't played with the damping though as they are fine as they are
