I'm loving that grey one - Especially the first pic - Absolutely stunning! :notworthy:

Carbon bonnet?
Title: Re: took some new pics
Post by: WhiteGTI on January 18, 2010, 08:39:42 am: Love the grey one!!!!! Talk to me about your stance? What have you used to lower it, and are you using spacers?

Think the plate doesn't look completely right on the bluey/greeny one, makes it look like a rabbit with its teeth out (or was that the desired effect due to the connection between the Golf and the Rabbit?). Then again, on the subject of front numberplates who am I to talk! :grin:

no carbon bonnet yet but it is on my wish list :party:
its just lowered on fk coilovers and the huffs are actually reps so wider ( 8x18 ), did have originals but wasnt happy as i thought they looked too skinny imo
huffs are only winter wheels , got a couple of wheels on my wish list so i'll see how it pans out
again thanks for the positive comments :drinking:

Also did you notice a differance in handling or acceleration with the lighter wheels?

....You'll always notice a marked difference with significantly lighter weight wheels. It's because the mass rolling weight is reduced. You will feel much more steering feedback - It's a great mod if you're into achieving good handling (missed by too many folks imo). Slippery slope of modding............... :evilgrin:

excuse the crappy iphone pics
not 100% on the exhaust fitment as i might still adjust it back a bit (altho the pics are after some "spirited driving") and still got a bit of tidying up to do on the back end.
Overall happy with the way its turned out :jumpmove:

thanks bud , seen there was some adjustment if needed in they areas you mentioned when i was fitting :happy2:
ran out of time today so ill need to do some adjustments next week.

I am a big fan of carbon, but don't like the thought of having large panels that don't match, Or if you left a centre strip in carbon?

Did you get the R32 US style bumper from VW? if so how much did you pay for it as I have toyed with getting one sorted.
Also had the Milltek R32 style exhaust, and hated the fact the backbox hung so low, so much so that when I had the FK coilovers on I was scooping up empty beer cans on the way to work one day by accident! :laugh:

That's the moneyshot right there, that's a rear end to die for, really good looking :congrats:
Are you planning to leave it in carbon?
Also i'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on fitment, and day to day use of it. Have you fitted shocks that are weaker than stock? Have you sounddampened it??
Again a great looking rear end :love:

The plan is to get the grill, bonnet, exhaust surround and wing mirrors carbon too and a darker or carbon roof, but right now my bank says no :sad1: :grin:
Pretty sure the exhaust was originally yours too Al ,Think you sold it to tonygti
there's a can shaped dent on the back box aswell :laugh:

Danishmkvgti - the fitment isn't a 100% but I can easily live with it as I'm not overly picky , was disappointed tho as the high level brake light doesn't fit at all !!! I wasn't planning on getting a carbon spoiler but it is now a must :chicken:
I haven't fitted any sound Damping or the interior boot panel and I personally don't think the cabin noise has increased that much , no change to the shocks either altho when you push the handle you have to step back quick or you'll get a face full of bootlid :rolleye: don't actually use my boot that much so right now it works for me :wink:

I was looking at these just for weight saving but I think I'd be better off saving weight at the front as the backs empty anyway. Carbon roof saves 10kg from Performance Trim but not sure what it looks like on the inside (no roof linning!), and carbon wings which are 10mm wider.

Not to sure on the weight saving on the boot but I do know from lifting both without rear screen it was considerably lighter.
Yeah seen performance trim have the roof for sale , pretty sure they made the original for a guy called lomax whose White gti was featured in pvw and also had all the roof lining etc still in place :smiley:

there's a can shaped dent on the back box aswell :laugh:

Danishmkvgti - the fitment isn't a 100% but I can easily live with it as I'm not overly picky , was disappointed tho as the high level brake light doesn't fit at all !!! I wasn't planning on getting a carbon spoiler but it is now a must :chicken:
I haven't fitted any sound Damping or the interior boot panel and I personally don't think the cabin noise has increased that much , no change to the shocks either altho when you push the handle you have to step back quick or you'll get a face full of bootlid :rolleye: don't actually use my boot that much so right now it works for me :wink:

Could we get an update on the day to day use of the CF bootlid, and maybe some pictures of any fitment issues that you might have :happy2:
