Hello newbie from Edinburgh

[Ant.W28LKR]

Hello all.  I've only just bought a 2007 Gt Tdi 140. My Previous car was a BMW 330 msport convertible. I just found it too costly to run and when I bought it I was toying with the idea of getting a golf. After nearly a year of ownership and with my good lady driving around in a brand new company car Golf tdi bluemotion i finally gave in once she agreed to let me drive it. So here I am, my first golf I have to say & i'm really enjoying it so far but as always the Mod's aint that far away. So plans for it....well i already had a few ideas in mind

Gti rear valance  (colour coded)

Gti sideskirts

Gti front spoiler/splitter

Spacers for my wheels  (std alloys)

That's what I plan on doing first. Any links/pages to the parts I need to get me started would be most appreciated.  


Thanks  

Ant.

Picture of my car. Taken from IPhone so not the best.




The car is going into paint shop tomorrow. There's a few parking dents on either side, the back bumper is being painted & a full machine polish. 

Not sure what the alloys are but I think they're standard.

Cheers,  Not planning on going mad with it, few subtle changes on outside.  I might consider a remap at some point. Would need to do a bit reading up on it though before I make any decisions

Picking up gti  rear bumper & sideskirts tomorrow. Brand new in box, cost me £100 thought that was not a bad deal.  Now need to get a front splitter.

Welcome Ant, from a fellow Edinburgh member. I just picked up a 170 GT TDi after being out of Golf's for 6 months. 

My last car was a 2004 GT TDi 140 with plenty mods done to it (I had a full GTI/Votex bodykit, Milltek exhaust, mapped to 180+ bhp and a few toys on the inside).

I've been on a shopping spree over the weekend so now have VCDS (subject to the postman arriving soon) and a stockpile of mods to fit.

Let me know if you ever want to meet up, I've had a VCDS before so any code reading, programming you want done gimme a shout!

What's your thoughts on mapping a 140?  Can all the stardard parts cope with the extra ponys?  Ie turbo, injectors  

Aye cheers, that would be good. Interested in seeing how much different the 170 version is.
