Bagged - Caged - Ruined Mk5
« on: May 06, 2013, 07:56:01 pm »
Well after a random day of ended up putting a deposit down on this, and picked it up tuesday, got my bro to snap some photo's the other night..







Only thing i done so far is clean it and fit a VW bottle opener.

Got some pressed plates and surrounds on order plus some internal led lights.

Plans are to fit a rcd510/rns510 and get a re-map then go from there

Quick question regarding the trip computer, i guess there is 2 different recordings a 1 and a 2, but does one re-set every time you leave the vehicle?

Well thought I should update this.

Got paper work back from DVLA so got my reg transferred onto the golf, also had my plate surrounds and pressed plates turn up..


Also bought a RCD510 DAB although no DAB aerial fitted currently..

Probably one of best things I done since then I replaced the SD card with a 16GB in black  :smiley:

Changed most of the interior lights to LED ones, but no picture also got a VAGCOM cable and enabled anti hi-jack and the indicators as DRL's
Also LaminX'd my fog lights

Then enjoyed just driving it for abit, gave it a few washes this was pre DC13


Then at weekend I got fed up and removed the front grill..

Covered the back of all the holes with plastic and filled them in...




It's just had a top coat and lacquer so hopefully re-fit it tonight..


Also have more plates ordered, in the disguise of 6 digit shortened pressed plates that are all legal.
Also should have a twin take waiting for me at home I bought :)

Yeah not 100% happy with the paint. Guess I'm
Just being fussy! Will probably run it for now and either get it professionally done or buy a US Spec.

Yeah have a bunch of magnets en-route. Just need some foam or something to back plate with.

May just run it in window till they arrive.

Next is to save for a revo stage 1  :laugh:

Thanks for all comments.

Regards to magnets have these coming..
http://bit.ly/1asXlEh

Got 20 of them. Think going to use 6 on plate 6 on bumper. And I'm sure unread the pull on them is fair amount!

My biggest worry is glueing magnets to my plate but have some aralidite to try help with that.

No worries will update once they arrive.

Fitted the grill last night and went to a local meet, although being typical me didn't get a picture of it parked up, not sure if anybody else did tho...

Quick pic when I got home how I'm currently running...
