Hey guys. i'm a little rusty with this "built thread" so go easy on me and tell me whats left out and what to do to improve my thread :)
will start with some basic specs the car had when i bought it.
2005
Tornado red best colour

69.000km guess that will be around 40.000 miles?
5d
pretty basic stuff like rcd500
non-mfsw
halogen headlights
17" bbs monza
16" some Taiwan winter wheels
to much talking, so here are some pics when i bought it in 2014




Then i bought a new RCD510 as i needed the aux-in and sd card reader

and changed my old gateway for a new one

fitted and everything was working fine

then a good wash and QD


after a week of online browsing a found what i was after

and in the box was this...yeah you can guess from the pics


sorry for the bad quality pic, found a oem set fo R32 rear lights

found a better pic outside

then i had some fun trying to take some good nightshoots with my camera. One pic actually came out great


time for more rear light. OEm Mk6 led license plate lights

you can compare oem on the left and Led on ther ight here


drove the gti for a cuple of weeks and thought that i went to the local VW and gave it a health check and oil change plus all airfilter + dsg oil change.
After that i decided to remove the black bumpers and send them to be colourcoded.

on the inside of the sideskirts there were pretty much dirt

will continue to upload pics tomorrow :)
