In the mean time some small changes have been made :party:

Side skirts and front spoiler painted
KW var 1 mounted
Deleted GTI badges
Mounted R32 rear lights
New wheels :laugh: BBS CK 19"
US lights :innocent:
partial black front VW badge

Upcoming changes:
UK reverselens
Wiper delete

Still want:
Brakes upgrade
Exhaust - Miltek?
Carbon mirrors :party:

I also want to lower the car a bit (especially in de back) but I am already on the lowest position possible and I think it is beter not to remove the adjusters in the back - any ideas / suggestions :happy2:

Post by: GLIDN on August 22, 2011, 11:38:26 pm: welcome along,

your car has made a great transformation. :drinking:

are you on GolfmkV by any chance?

I have seen pics of your car before just trying to rack my brain where I did see them thou.

Post by: rdfcpete on August 23, 2011, 12:00:39 am: That's a stunning result you have there Patrick :happy2:

Some mods after my own heart there :drinking:
I wanted to go for the 19"s too and also considered CK's but decided for a slightly different style of rim.

I'm always extremely proud to wear the iconic GTI badge front and rear on mine, but I think somehow it suits yours very well. Usually I wouldn't encourage it.

I don't recall seeing the darker CK rims on red MK5s too often but it works very well.

BTW, fogs as DRL's in the last pic?

Post by: PatrickA on August 23, 2011, 06:50:40 am: Thank you for all the compliments, I like the car very much how it is right now but somehow I still want to find some extra changes :laugh:

I cannot recall putting any pictures on GolfmkV but maybe they just look the same :signLOL:

On the last photo you can see the fogs as DRL's :pomppomp: some guys told me that is was not possible but here they are :innocent:

I joined a german forum but it's too much like hard work translating as my german is a bit rusty lol.

I might find out about some meets as Ive come across a local tuner that's meant to be really good, they've done my mates Mk3 Vr6 supercharged.
