its in desperate need of loweringing springs and rear valance
-
Was going to say it needs lowering, so does mine :sad1:
Rear lights look good, I need to re-do mine as there not dark enough, especially the inners
Love the colour though! What plans have you got?
-
Im guessing you have changed the wheel colour too. Looks good with Sahdow blue. :smiley:

I actualy bought it like that, the dealer in birmingham had them refurbed that colour instead of the two colours they are originaly, apparently its cheaper.

lots of plans : lowering springs, rear valance including colour code and exhaust, revo remap, cruise control, multi function steering wheel, gti spoiler, r32 skirts and maybe ed 30 front splitter
any suggestions?
-
What type of rear bumper are you going for? Can i have your alloys?! Different head unit?

I guess you are looking at R32 skirts as they are primed and ready for colour. If you hang on I am fitting GTi skirts to mine (well over 100 quid cheaper) and I will be prepping and colour coding them myself, so I will post a how to guide. :happy2:
Yours does seem to sit high, I thought the GT had GTi springs fitted, mine sits just nice. On the rear lights, I plan on tinting mine, I have the spray on order, I notice you masked along the bottom, as well as the indicator etc, is this what the R32/ED30 lights look like? Not seen a set close up properly.....

i might go for the gti sideskirts, ill wait and see what yours looks like , as for the lights i just got some tinting spray for £6 and i masked the bottom bit of as its the reflective strip and theres alot of idiots on the road. although i dont think the r32 ones are liike this tbh

Asking for suggestions can be dangerous on this forum...
18months down the line you may end up with a stage 2 with every concievable OEM retro fit :signLOL:
-

im thinking just a gti rear valance colour coded up from the crease, maybe r32 rear but i doubt it, i dont want to make it look faster than it is
-
Cosmetically, I have done my rear valance, I've also fitted and coded a GTi lower spoiler. I am getting the insert for this and before fitting I may spray that and the lower part of the rear valance gloss black. After fitting the skirts I will leave the exterior at that as I agree with you, although its running stage 1 software it's not exactly fast!
-
Iv gone for an ed30 rear bumper, ed30 front splitter, votex spoiler and side skirts! The splitter insert will be black, black side skirts and the rear bumper insert will be black also!

Top work! Where were the inserts from?

The rear is looking top trumps now Shaun :happy2:
Good effort there.
I think a small drop would suit this so much :party:

theres alot more to come yet, im not happy with the colour of the rear valance so its getting re-done for free next week hopefuly, a small drop? hmm it needs a big drop i think.
