2007 MKV GTI US Spec in the UK

[KAN1NE]

Just came over beginning of this year and brought my 2007 US Spec MKV GTI with me.  Im in the Suffolk area and this is the beauty I brought with me.





As far as mods done so far:

APR Stage 2+ Tuned w/ Mobile Dongle (using my iPhone or iPad to have real time diagnostics, clearing codes and changing programs is great!)
APR Turbo Back - minus the CAT
APR Front & Rear Sway Bars
Milltek Exhaust
Forge FMIC
Vibratech Motor Mounts
Nuespeed CAI
42 Designs Oil Catch Can
Koni Yellows w/ H&R Springs

3SDM 18x8.5 White w/Chrome Trim
Hankook Ventus V12 tires (or tyres over here  )
Shaved/Notch hood err.. bonnet? right? 
Shave front grill
US Millworks Plate Frame tow hook mount
Thunderbunney rear bumper
A bunch of Carbon goodies under the hood - Reservoir Cover, Engine Cover, Battery Cover, Fuse Box Cover, Radiator Cover
Forge Caps and Covers for Oil, Windshield Fluid and Reservoir (not in the pic though)




Uber Stealth Audio trunk subwoofer box w/tool tray - I will have to get pictures of this for ya.
Removed the center vent for the Euro dash cubby
Boost Gauge molded into the Drivers Side vent


I'm sure there is more im not thinking of at the moment.

Plans for the near future:
- Just ordered a set of Folding mirrors w/puddle light and modules - so hoping I can mount these and get them working on my US Spec
- VCDS ordered just waiting on delivery (should be any day now)
- APR Stage 3 w/K04 this fall just waiting for the rainy season before I give up my GTI for a week or so.
- Try and find a RNS 510 and get it working in my car - I have a crap aftermarket Kenwood now, would like to have a nice clean stock looking interior.

Would like to hook up with some fellow GTI owners out here in the UK.

Very nice gti. How you finding the uk roads?

Thanks, and the roads, well some aren't too bad at all actually.  It's those speed cameras EVERYWHERE that I'm more worried about haha!

this is the bollocks, I like this car a lot mate and I have finally found my Koni suspension twin   rides good doesnt it.

if it was mine I would buy a set of BBS Pascaras or TD Pro race 1.2 then paint them black.

where did you buy all the carbon bay goodies from mate, I quite like the rocker cover and slam panel trim peice  

If you have the time and tonnes of pictures you should start a members ride thread and show everyone your full build.

welcome to England too, weathers sh*t isnt it

Thanks, yea the Koni ride is pretty comfy.  As far as the carbon bits, I collected those from other GTI owners in the States over the years.  The rocker cover was the hardest to find, and I haven't seem once since.

Thanks,  for the front bumper I still have my lights in there, I just had them painted candy white.  So it looks clean and when I turn my lights on they still light up.  I'll get a proper build thread going later to show ya.

Like surrey said i would change the wheels and paint them a different colour. Maybe a set of bbs rs with red or blue painted centers and polished lip 

Car is pure sex though man, love the carbon bits 

[SurreyED30]

Ah okay mate no worries there lol

[arris]

[Wooosh]

Welcome mate, loving the carbon engine bay goodies.
