D3hnt steel grey GTI
« on: May 05, 2014, 07:55:22 pm »
Hi all
Should of really done this as I went along. I got the car last July and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Previous car - sad to see it go



Current car when first bought






How I went about it

Firstly I had it remapped and a panel filter. Changed the PCV valve, cam follower, diverter valve. Full service. Brake fluid. Air con etc

Then the modding started and I've become addicted

Wheel refurb one of the first things I did due to corrosion




VWR Springs



Colour coded front spoiler, plasti dipped front grilles gloss black



Colour coded rear spoiler and retro parking sensors



Retro armrest with sliding cup holder and vent tube



Retro Kenwood activated wheels in motion



Retro door puddle lights and rear footwell lights





Retro cruise control - kenwood microphone now rerouted



Retro projector headlights with HID kit and led bulbs



LED interior throughout



Led number plate lights and pressed plates



Solid console bushes - bought the bushes 8Z0407183 and pressed them in



Valeo's with inner mod



Fogs as DRL's LED bulbs



May of missed a few things

As of today

Puddle lights - 2 wires into door control unit if yours support them then code

Footwell - if you have them already just tap into them and feed the wire to the rear

Those springs give it the perfect drop. How low are they?
