My Mk5 Golf GTI

Wheels look lost on it, but loving the touches with the interior, with the new trims etc

Paintwork looks brilliant!

Car is looking very nice indeed. The interior is HOT!  And I can see this is going to be a build to watch - The boot pop is brilliant

Love the work you have done already but the wheels aren't to my liking..... Awesome job though buddyy

[Greigzy]

Cheers for the comments folks. The wheels are slightly hit or miss, and even I am unsure on them. I am tempted to sell them as I have my eye on something else.

Have you got the part numbers for the door grab handles? 

[TaraLewe]

Afraid I dont - but got them off Ebay (genuine of course) for cheaper than what the dealer could do for me!

Bought some folding mirrors and puddle lights.

Fitted some folding mirrors and puddle lights (with smoked inpro indicators).



Made a video of some folding mirrors and puddle lights.

Happy days.

Next on the list is to fit my highline clocks

[chrisr763]

Where are you based? Tying to get Eddie NL down south to fit highlines ect 

[Greigzy]

Based in Aberdeen, so a little far away haha. I have a friend that did a lot of coding on my R32 that is going to do it this week, but thanks for the suggestion

What clocks are you fitting? ( Part number ) Are they using Vag Com?

[Greigzy]

970E clocks (got them for £60!)- he is using VCDS and Vag Commander I believe

So some more updates.

Car went in for it's MOT yesterday. Failed on a CV boot, which was fitted by Lovett tonight and it gets retested tomorrow, so happy days.

The air bag light has been intermittent, which ended up being the plug that connects the airbag from the seat back to the seat base, before it runs into the plug on the floor. I ended up cutting out the plug and soldering the cables together, heatshrinked each one and then wrapped it in loom tape.

Also played on Vagcom and got the US lights on the headlights:



And also got a set of Audi TT 10 spokes. Stats are 18x9 et50ish. I think they would look great with a set of big orange Porsche brakes underneath. Trial fitted them tonight (its great having an airgun) and the rears are perfect, fronts need 5mm spacers to clear the strut.









As always, share your thoughts :)
