I re-read this thread from start to finish again. Love the mods and the effort gone into it.
The Rousch alloys - would they have fit had you not slammed the car? Would love to see a pic of a MK5 with them on. The Helios don't look as good as the rims before them IMO. What were they?
Was the paintwork just plain black (and not the diamond pearl stuff)? Looks beautifully slick. What did you use?
Still torn on the front grilles. Most people go for the GTI honeycomb grilles and you went the other way. Think it's slowly growing on me though.
EDIT: I just spotted the rim in the boot! No idea how I missed that!
Hi Mr Wolf, the rousch alloys would have looked excellet mate, i got the rears to fit 10" but the fronts at 10" wide were having none of it!! glad they are gone now and i have moved onto the hellios, the rims before were Audi A8 Monoblocks, i liked them but not enough to keep them! we'll see how long these last?
The paint is the "black magic" colour original just cleaned, it had been sitting for 5 weeks at Lukes so it was pretty dirty, just a quick bath and Chemical Guys CG Detailer and bobs your uncle.
I still like my grills, if i fancy a change i can always put the old ones back on
Craig you know I love your car, its the interior man, its the sickest by far, you should get some R32 buckets, but then you probably would have done that already
thanks nath, i thought about them and RS4 seats but then it was at lot of money for not a lot of gain IMO, i like my deatiled GTi seats tbh..
Mr T what can I say it looks the dogs
How big do those bloody Helios wheels look
Thanks Ben, yh man the wheels look way big in the flesh to
looks excellent..has stealth says its good to see you went the other way with the front end as every body is putting the gti front bumper on,I was saying to Daz(mortygttdi) am leaving mine as it is..Hopefully next year get Luke to get my boot build sorted out
thanks, like i said before i like the grills it's just a little change but there isn't that much to do to a GTi exterior wise without going a bit OTT. i dont want to alter too much.
i will get pics sorted as soon as it stops raining it hasn't stopped up here for a week
