My Black Mk5 GT SPORT! ***NEW RIMS***

[wycombeant]

Hi all,

Brought my Golf GT TDI 170 end of January. Thought it was about time to create a project thread  

I had a 1.6 SE FSI before this and the difference is unbelievable! Ive fallen in love  

Perforance + economy = WINNER

SO

Picked the car up on the Friday and here it is after a clean on the Saturday








Oh and a de-badge aswel

The first thing i brought was my Pressed Plates and Plate surrounds - Really like these  

Then got it lowered on Eibach Sportlines











Wanted coilovers BUT.....I live down a VERY LONG and POTHOLEY drive   and the car is a daily for work.

Really happy with the noticeable difference in handling but not suffering with ride quality to much. It actually sits ok....obviously i would love to have it lower but still happy  

Got 15mm spacers from Andy “Banham” on here  

Need to order longer bolts and get these on. Also need to order 12mm for the front!

Need to get some different/better photos up but will do asap
 
This is it so far....comments welcome
