Newbie-Candy white GTI- first post
« on: March 27, 2014, 12:52:41 am »
Got my GTI a few months back and been on here a wee while so heres me finally introducing my GTI.

So far its got a neuspeed induction kit,stage 1 remap,uprated DV, and getting a catback fitted on monday(eurojet  v-banded)

wouldnt mind doing some stuff to car in terms of looks, anyone out there have any ideas? Black alloys maybe?  :scared: i just dont know where to start haha (as is obvious the previous owner did a fair bit,alloys,ed30 splitter etc)

Sorry in advance for the crap number plate editing/covering. Could be neater ill admit haha.

cheers anyway, thoughts welcome.

Cheers folks! Aye side skirts are something I definitely  want done! Xenons yes....if they were cheaper haha, can afford it, just grudge it for lights.

Not sure about gettin the alloys powder coated black or not, I like them as they are but everyone else seems to think black is the way forward...

Nice looking car there.. I personally like the silver... I think you lose a lot of the wheels 'detail' when they're painted black... But that's just me..

You read my mind Marc! I thought the same, some alloys do look good black but I think in this case...silver is actually better!
I think they'll be stayin standard!

I would get Xenons but they cost a small fortune...and just for lights I don't know if I can justify it haha
Had I been the original owner I would have chose them to start with tho, but I'll just have to deal with them!

Unless anyone knows any websites that have them for sale and it's not ridiculous priced??   :confused:
