Golf GT Sport 140 (sold) now Black GTI
« on: August 08, 2015, 06:55:43 pm »
So i was set on getting a mk5 gt sport,

took me a while to find one that fitted what i wanted, knew i wanted a 3 door united grey gt tdi, and that it had to have the later front on as i felt it looks alot better,

I finally found this on in south wales which was about 3 hours from me but was worth the trip, the mileage although high to some 105k was right for my budget, it had the black grill and head lights that i wanted and full heated leather








First thing i order was a set of coilovers, nothing to fancy just jom's for now when my wallets a bit fuller i ll change to something a bit better,



although i said i wanted the black grill it was more the head lights i wanted due to planning to change to the gti style honeycomb front




the next thing was probably the hardest as with any car project is wheels,

spent ages looking for what i wanted,

ended up choosing Dare dr-X2 in 8x18 in matt gun metal finish and i really like them









i ve got more planned but that ll have to wait, hope u guys like my car so far.

Dan

Congrats on the purchase! Great upgrades so far.

Aesthetically might just need a GTI rear spoiler and a roof spoiler.

For the front brakes you just need to upgrade to GTI carriers, pads and discs.

A remap will make that engine work much better and a bit more economical with a sensible throttle use. :smiley:

Thanks for positive comment :)

I plan to go for gti style exhaust and rear bumper spoiler and roof spoiler very soon :)

As for remap I'd like do I ve plugged a psi running box in and it went very well on it but took off after a day's not sure I trust them as just sits in line if the injector loom :/

Still not 100% convinced which front end looks better, thoughts?
