Black Mk5 golf gti
« on: December 14, 2013, 09:59:24 pm »
so i finally parted with my mk2 golf gti


and a few week ago i went and bought myself a mk5 golf gti




so it wasn't long till i started work on modifying the car, first i started with the suspension.
i opted to go for the jom coilovers, i had these on my mk2 and was quite pleased with the performance off them seeing as they are budget coilovers. so i bought a set for the mk5 and i am planning on changing to bags next year some time so didn't want to go too mad on spending a load of money on coilovers.
this is how the car sits at the moment, there are a couple of threads still to go at on the front.


a induction kit was next on my list and after hearing good reviews i went for the ITG maxogen intake.


next i picked up a milltek exhaust from awesome gti at a good deal, full turbo back non resonated milltek and sounds absolutely brilliant definitely worth every penny spent.



its all about the little things so i have purchased some genuine gti red logo mats and a little stubby bee sting aerial

coilovers are wound all way down on the front, which is weird as my mate is running same coilovers as me on a mk5 and is a lot lower on the front with threads to still go at, where as mine are wound all way down.

Gold wheels looks good on a black car. Maybe a splash of gold somewhere else to tie it in with the wheels? I was thinking of Jom Coilovers too, how's the ride compared to stock?
