next up managed to find a genuine mk6 golf gti down pipe +cat on ebay which i brought for a steal. It was in better condition than my original one and carried out a pre-cat delete on it ...i brought a new gasket and bolts from vw and then got that fitted ...The exhaust now has a slightly deeper Tone and the turbo seems to spool up quicker .... overall a great free mod..plus car feels quicker big grin...

OK time for another little update...so ever since i got my R32 rear. The side skirts and front valance have not quite fitted in so i thought it was time to get that sorted. So the plan was to remove the old ones and get them sent for painting but found out that mine have had a hard previous life with broken brackets and cracks underneath the skirt  so to that end the bin was the only place they were going. So set about looking for some replacements came across some R32 side skirts from the company i got my R32 rear valance from.

Started to remove the old side skirts why i was doing that thought it was a good idea to clean behind the wheel arch and this lot came out.......

Anyway test fitted the skirts and then dropped off at the body-shop for painting the guys did an awesome job with a 24 hour turn around here they are all painted and fitted i must say looks so much better than that dull plastic .....

Good as ever mate. Where did you get the skirts and are they the smoothed kind and do they come primed? Desperate to get my skirts painted next month.

[Deano45]

Hi MartK

                 The good new the skirts come ready to go to paint nice and easy. The body shop even commented on the lack of work needed on their part. The skirts are R32 smooth not textured like gti.

I got them from this company HZ PERFORMANCE.COM

Hope this helps ya.......

By the way them tyres look great ...i need some of them...lol

Another new set of 10mm front spacers due to the first pair not being hub-centric ...I'm now thinking do I get a pair of 10mm spacers for the rear. At the moment I'm running 3mm spacers.

As I have a new head-unit I decided to get rid of the old CD changer. So replaced it with the iPod dock instead I't looks cleaner I think much better.

MK6 Badge on the rear with my mk5 slow close handle....




IMG_0451 by DEAN JONES, on Flickr


 

I know the badge thing's been discussed to death but just for a definite answer, is this just a Mk6 110mm badge on the Mk5 handle?

I want to keep the soft close so was thinking of flatting the Mk5 handle down and painting it then sticking the Mk6 badge to it, did it need any trimming or anything?

Cheers

Hi ,ollieeee

Yes mine is a mk6 badge on a mk5 slow close handle ...colour coding is a great little mod..As for the badge itself it will require you to remove some of the tabs on the back of the badge ...it's really easy ..when finished you should be left with a large tab and small tab in the centre of the badge the rest can be removed with a Stanley knife use the badge backing plate as a guide...

Yeah it bugs me every time I look at the handle now so want to get it sorted. Ok, so presuming you have to take the front off the Mk5 slow close handle to see which of the Mk6 tabs to keep?

[Deano45]

ok buddy...i will get you a picture as soon as.......

[BezzaB]

Car looks great mate. I've just bought a 56 plate with the same mileage as when you purchased yours so will be pinching a few ideas to get her running sweet.

[Deano45]

Cheers for the comments buddy... you will find loads of inspiration on here...
