GTI Leeds so far - updated
« on: July 07, 2012, 06:47:16 pm »
Well i thought it was time i added some pics of the car. Got the car last november and registered here in december. Few things done so far and plenty more planned for the future.  :smiley: Totally standard when i got it.

First up was the standard 17's off and 18" monza's fully refurbed in black and new Vredestein tyres


Next i had the grill badge done black also new mirror caps and indicator lenses as they were broken when i picked the car up. Currently no GTI badge on the grill as i have a red one to fit.


Rear mudflaps and miltek catback followed very soon after



Forge twintake and R8 oil cap next, just bought a modified engine cover this week to be fitted which is currently been painted


Last week new steering wheel, gear lever, drivers interior grab handle, armrest and cd changer from a trade in at work. just fit the changer in this morning with the lead i recieved on here



Also been serviced, new discs and pads all round since ive had it. LED number plate and sidelights bulbs fitted with brighter headlight bulbs. Mats bought from ebay as they were non in when i got it. Back 3 windows also tinted.

Eibach springs sat in the garage waiting to be fit next  :smiley:

Few others taken today



Oh and one of my previous car for you all to see what i changed from  :happy2:

Thanks mate.. Totally different cars. VW miles better build quality but miss the VXR. That was running 270bhp standard without me even touching it.

How you getting on with the vredesteins? I had them on my ibiza a while back and found them to be quite soft, grippy though.
