The alternative mk5 golf .....

[torque777]

So I've been on here for a while now so decided to throw mine into a members build ...bought this golf wagon a year ago after letting this go

And here it is in August 2012

Standard 2007 mk5 tdi wagon in poverty spec but with one owner plus vw with only 28000 on her and full vag history ..belonged to the father in law and was only used at weekends and never left out in winter lol ...another reason to have it is I got it at trade price instead of vw having it ...so first mod

Mk6 biolines in great condition

2011 polo ariel

Tax disc

Calipers painted

Pressed plates

De badged rear

Took it to s couple of shows ..but felt there was something missing ..so bought a votex front spoiler and had the rear smoothed and colour coded




Decided to fit dual horns instead of just one fitted as standard



Made up loom with vw repair wires and connectors

Decided to give her a detail




Also fitted a sunglasses holder

Next up I decided that I needed a change of wheels ..I really liked what I allready had but thought it needed something else

So this is how it was looking ...

Found these on ebay cheap ..but needed new tyres ..audi tt mk2  8x17" with 47et ..so bought some new falkens in 225 / 45 / 17"


So fitted some 16" spare steels while I sold my other alloys ..sprayed them anthracite while I had them on the car

So spent a few hours de tarring and t cutting new wheels



So got them on

Next up I detailed the engine bay


And that's as far as I've got ...I've took more photos in the last 12 months but tried to condense it a bit to save boring you ...yes its not a gti or gtd but its a mk5 so hope some of you like
