MK5 conversion to GTI Replica help

[juicehead]

Hi everybody,

I recently went to see a 2004 MK5 GTI replica and it was beautiful,

Now I don't own a MK5 yet but I will purchase one as close to the couler I want or with the alloys I want,
My plan is to fit these
GTI body kit,
Side skirts,
Centre ex conversion
Lowered springs
Wheel spacers
Monza alloys

Now what does everybody think of these items fitted to MK5?
Do you think it will look close to a GTI???

Also I want to know If anybody has purchased from this German company who are selling bod kit,
Its not OEM but here's link.

If you get an oem front bumper you can trim down some parts and make it fit.  It will look better than the replica gti bumpers.

Thanks, but what about rear and sides?
Do you not think ABS plastic is worth buying from this company?

Side skirts from VW are about £80 for 2.

People have been happy with rears from pgcb or something, maybe take a look there

You can get a GTI rear valance for around £50 quid second hand. Fits straight onto the standard rear bumper. or if you want an R32 style rear valance then as Joe has mentioned, go for the one from ppcgb.

You will just need the bottom valance off the rear bumper.

[juicehead]

Actually I will need the whole rear number then thinking about my last post, so back to my first post,
Has anybody any idea on quality of company and body kit I linked? Thanks

the gti rear lower section is £50 isn new from VW

Whatever you buy will need working to ensure it fits properly. Get an OEM front bumper with aftermarket grilles all bought seperately. Then for the rear, get it from PPCGB

Job done!
