GOLF MK5 BLACKOUT BUILD THREAD
« on: March 19, 2015, 01:11:26 am »
so hey guys, bought thr golf Fsi 1.4 back in july 2014 with 100,000 on the clock. runs like a dream after a few minor setbacks. not really into the performance mods but more visual...

this is how i recieved the car...



really wasnt that bad at all for an 04 plate... the previous owner has put in some 17" A3 alloys but tbh they were pretty battered and the paintwork was a littlr ropey...



after a two bucket wash system and a quick coat of auto glym deep shine it was already looking better


and then the wheels... they were horrendous condition but soon put that right with a little prep and paint...
major improvement in gloss black and of course the treasured vw emblem

it was then time to start the blackout procedure
firstly the front lights and front emblem

and then onto the back end of the car... i also went and added abit of red carbon wrap on the interior of the car just for a suble touch and replaced the ac controller switches for just £10 along with adding my own AUX connection into the back of my existing unit..





not to mention the addition of German plates with VW surrounds...



day one of Kleemfreaks Snowfoam and Detailer spray ended up pretty well


added the Wind deflectors around this time too


so basically i got very bored with the Audi wheels as i feel they were letting the car down so popped on this very forum and got hold of a set of Lamborgini Gallardo replica wheels 19". they truly set the car off..


gladly said goodbye to thr audi wheels with one last clean and they were gone

went on to purchase some VW sew of badges for my headrest and came out so well
along with a new Gearstick gaitor but didnt take a photo haha

thanks for checking out and will keep updated thanks again
