Golf GTI 2005 build

Hi all
Thought I would start a little build thread, it's not going to be a massive spec list as the budget won't stretch very far. Here are a few pics of the car at the minute:-







Sorry about the pictures taken with my iPhone. Brought it back in may and Have already fitted a forge dump valve and be it a little service last month.

I've got these little babies to go in which will hopefully be the end of this year :)

Looks a good base to start off with. Where were the seats from?

[raptor_tom22]

Thanks, the seats are direct from RECARO and we custom trimmed in grey leather by RECARO, only down side is there not heated :(

[JoeDarKa]

I saw some on ebay so thought it was those! Bet they set you back a pretty penny!

[raptor_tom22]

There defernately not a cheap option but there really comfy and very supportive. Worth the investment as they will last for years

Just had this delivered :)
Need to find a bit of time to fit it now.

They do look great. Iv just got some r32 buckets and i think il get them re-trimmed at some point!

[raptor_tom22]

The R32 seats are stunning, what trim you going for?

[JoeDarKa]

They are currently the vienna leather ones but not sure what to go for! Maybe just black!

[raptor_tom22]

Black is the safe option but to throw a bit of colour in you could always have coloured stitching :)

Had a busy day today and treated the car to a few new parts :)





And also this little goodie


Not really had chance to give a good run yet but hopefully the drive to work tomorrow mite be a bit more spirited ;)
