Harz's GTI R-Tech stage 2, Recaros and Audi FB steering wheel.
« on: December 23, 2013, 08:13:50 pm »
So had my GTI for about a week now and absolutely loving it. It's a 2008, 3 door, manual, it came with 19" calibre wheels already on it (which has 235s and I think I need to change for 225s maybe coz they scrub a bit over dips/rough roads) not sure what j or et yet, haven't had time to get one of them off to have a look.
I managed to give it a quick wash and a coat of Collinite 845 yesterday so I thought I'd take a couple pics. It needs a proper detail, but as I don't have a garage that will have to wait until after winter. Anyway here's the pics  :smiley:

Thanks  :happy2:

My brother has got me some team Heko wind deflectors for Xmas.
Need to do a bit more research as I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to performance mods, but I'm thinking along the lines of air filter/exhaust and a linear remap.
Eibach's sportlines.
I'm thinking of changing the head unit, maybe an Alpine with built in sat Nav and Bluetooth/iPod connectivity and amp and sub.

Car looks nice! Not a massive fan of the wheels - If you like them that's all that matters!  :happy2:

There are so many mods you can do performance and looks wise - Search the forum  :happy2:

Cheers... I hear what you're saying about the wheels. They were left on by the previous owner. When I first saw the autotrader photos I was nearly put off because of the wheels, but when I saw the car in flesh they didn't look too bad, the pics don't do them justice. I personally think they're a little too big and would prefer 18"s, but they will do for now. I may spray the spokes a different colour for now.

Made a start on fitting my head unit today. Not overly impressed with the facia. Also didn't do my research so didn't realise the aftermarket stereo will stay on even with no keys in the ignition  :ashamed: ordered the CTSVW002 adaptor off fleabay. Just hope I'll be ok just detaching the face off the stereo for now.
Will get some pics up at some point. Ran out of daylight so didn't take any yet...
