Then being as i own an audio interior business it'd be rude not to start playing with the interior
stripped the dash and door parts
Then trimmed them in a charcoal alcantara
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf009.jpg&hash=2666bb1a93379f7a983588b27a8fce8a897f03e9)

Then off with the doors for some hardcore sound proofing and running new chord cable into the doors ready for the speaker upgrade.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf012.jpg&hash=b90c22431b9d9a415c0f7a88c9b718569414c353)

then wave diffused the soundproofing to help stop back waves and deaden the doors some more.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf014.jpg&hash=8738fe6198ee83d0551f6ee6530f7455c1abe644)
My airride arrived Yesterday, it's going to take a few months to install but progress should be constant on the whole car.
Air lift products rock and there service is great.

Then i thought i'd strip the controller down ready for fabricating into the sunglasses holder
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf030.jpg&hash=f13d5da01f474d81d2704acc7afb91acd211ced1)

I didnt like the fact the 3 preset buttons through the controller off being symetrical so i am currently re wirering the circuit board to relocate these switches somewhere trick.

My shark fin aerial arrived today for when i drop the rooflinging tomoz hopefully for trimming
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf044.jpg&hash=a5ade0b333d41295aee698cacca48c48f6ae590f)
Carried on the alcantara theme and started trimming pillars done both the c pillars now.

I've also started the very labour intensive job of building my badgless grill all mocked in ready for some plastic welding and filling
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf045.jpg&hash=0ae36b36ed77495811cecb11ef26908813a04a42)

well thought i'd have another full day on it before the week starts again.
dropped the headlining ready for some cable running and soundproofing.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf047.jpg&hash=815d35bc01aee803890184629c8e4d8c8ccdf659)

Then why the roof lining was down it made it easy to change the roof aerial for the shark fin I had, But its just didn't follow the roof line etc and looked poop in my eyes. Goin to order another shark fin a smaller one with a different style see how that looks if not i'll just rock the standard one until the body gets done ed of the year.

Yes it's not a pretty job taking the door skins off but worth it for the end result. It took me just over a day to do both doors :happy2:

Cheers dude,
My camera skills arnt the best as you can tell lol it didnt look to bad in the flesh matches the handles and the front unit when that gets fitted back i'll see what it looks like when its back in the car,but looking at them pictures i can totally see where your coming from mate does stick out a little.
The audio i'm not totally sure on the front end yet but i rekon pioneer p88 rsII headunit audison bit one processor, then i may run and audison lrx 5.1k and go active 2 way front end (not sure on speakers yet.
-
a healthy budget then :grin:
...bring it on!
-
a healthy budget then :grin:
...bring it on!
It could all change last minute lol but being a bit of a company demo aswel as my ride it needs to be good really, we shall see though take each day as it comes at the minute, dont want to start to many jobs before finishing off some of the others :happy2:
-
Nice work!
I really like it, and I'm a big fan of the Alphards, I got some Merc wheels in a similar style last year and picked up the car in February! :smiley: If I wasn't unemployed at the minute there'd be coilovers on the car and tyres on the beauties!
-
Very nice 8) dont suppose you could send me a quote for doing the headling and the abc pillars in the black alcantara could you.
Ive done them already myself but just not happy at all, I think it was cos the material used was not flexible enough.

Welcome to the forum MR Plush :happy2:
Nice one for signing up and sharing your build.
Your wheels are not the most popular over here, for some reason :confused: but i love them and they look great when on a slammed car. Cant wait for the rest of the build. :driver:
-
are the rims seeing any colour?
TC's right about their popularity but that's mainly people without vision :wink: but it surprises me as the design is reasonably similar to stock gti with it's cut aways
-
Wait until you see his mini VC. It makes your cheese sandwich thread seem dull. :laugh: :wink:
-
he has a mini VC? :chicken:
wow...WANT :party:
:grin: :wink:
-
:grin: :rolleye:
-
wow...looks like you have been busy already!
great read mate and im looking forward to seeing more of it! ;)
-
Looks like a great project cant wait to see the finished article :smiley:
-
looking foprward to this build!! :happy2:
as dan has said.....whered you get air?? website? :smiley:
-
Love the direction this build is taking! :driver:
-
Its great. I think the UK needs a MKV like this at the moment. I don't think that over here we are that adventurous with the MKV, the Americans really take the lead there. OK, so some of their ideas are a little stupid, but I love the individuality!
-
Doesn't look as though you are hanging about!
Great work so far, will watch this thread with interest! :happy2:

Thanks for all the kind comments

Heres my mini, now i know people would hate the colour, design blah blah blah but it was almost built as a tool to showcase my work and get talked about which it has done exactly what i wanted, the reason for the mk 5 is to have a more normal and more practical car.
But i hope you like and can appreciate the work and design.

Thats practically all the soundproofing done now, Hopefuly get the audio cables run tomoz also.

youve not missed a spot :grin: attention to detail, love it
although, captain negative here again.... saying your almost done, guessing you have done the rear tailgate too? alot of sound will bleed from there..... gunna guess you have, if so can i see some pics? i need to do mine and not really sure about the best method

ahh that why i said most of the soundproofing done dude (not all cus if you noticed aswell i havnt done behind the front door cards either yet), I've nearly done the bulk of it so i can build the car back up, then do removable panels as and when i get 5 minutes to carry on with the project.
cheers for the comments though.

with all the sound deadening going in, plus the audio and interior, is the airride setup to compensate for the weight when it comes to handling?
not that i care...dumped cars rule. fact. just wish i had the nerve :laugh:

Your guess is as good as mine but thats why i've gone for a pretty hardcore air system, theres always compromises with modifying but the added weight wouldnt be anywhere near as much as having a full car (5 people and a boot full of stuff) so i'm guessing it should be fine, the interior won't weigh that much different, the audio isn't going to weigh the end of the world 1 amp a set of speakers and a ten inch sub neither is the airride to be fair so should be ok, only time will tell i suppose.
I'm not trying to build a track car and with air i'm guessing the handling isnt going to be as good as a properly set up car on coilovers, but then the majority of coilover cars can't go up and down like air at the push of a button. :grin: :grin:
Dumped cars do rock

Spot on there bud, loving your work :happy2:, am currently nursing a semi over the mini :grin: :chicken:

Got your quote Luke but will have to give it a miss at the moment cos needed a new Rns-510 :wink: but will deff be up for it when Ive got the spare cash.
By the way this project is gonna be some thing special going by some of the stuff you've been involved in i.e that golf with the mini dash board and a few other mk4's,
Well done mate :drool: keep up the good work
Darrn
-
would be keen to see further examples of your handywork if theres links?
-
welcome Mr Plush, exc build thread
can you tell me see the alcantara stuff can that be moulded to fit the door cards on a mk2 golf, reason i ask is the recess for the armrest would that fit ok as in stick down and not crease? I am trying to get something that will look good and fit like OEM.

If you want to email me pictures over of exactly what you mean i can have a look for you but yes you can work alcantara quite well if you check out the orange subaru on my website practically the whole interior is done in it including the dashboard.

Loving this build! 8)

Im off to club charlies i belgium in 3 weeks, It won't be done by then but i'm trying to get the audio and interior done quitequickly to demo to people whats capable, The airride and stance will take a while and after this week the diary is chocca again so work will slow down again, but we will see what happens. :drinking:

Absolutely brilliant thread... I need to sound proof my Ed30 too as its quite loud now with the race-spec engine mounts. I also want to replace the headlining with an original piece as I managed to make a mark on the side of it towards the back and its bugging me like hell :rolleye:

Thanks for the offer. I'll need soundproofing in about a month or two - just waiting for a 'small' issue with the car to be sorted out. :happy2:

Just wondering how hard it is to take off the headlining? Did you know how to do it by experience, or were you following a guide of some sort?

lurrrving it! :happy2:

I did it from experince really no guide but i'd be more than happy guiding you through it to help you out mate its the fitting back up thats the problem the clips in the roof are sh*tE well to fiddly and garanteed it'll be the last one that doesnt go in and you have to start again practically lol.

Few updates,
Not loads today spent most of the day painting the airride controller panel in like a rubber oem paint but it just didnt look right when installed surrounded by all the alcantara so opted for the alcantara option :signLOL: :signLOL:

Here we go I've proper gone hardcore today as thats it now on the car for the weekend time to relax.
Hope you all like
It'l become more clear as the build goes on but the panel should look as factory as possible but with a removable armrest to revael processor one side and hopefully the amp in the other side.
Leaving the boot space for airride and sub. :happy2: :laugh: :laugh:

and finally my rare as fook seats turned up today ready for some love over the next few weeks.
Its hard enough finding a set of b7 rs4 seats but finding a set out of a cabrolet is near on impossibe but i found them and got them so i have the tilt and slide function allowing people in the back still woop woop.

Managed to get on with a bit more over the weekend. stripped the seats down and started retrimming the backs, i've always wanted to do this and with the backs having a couple of marks on through the lame courier it gave me the excuse.

Do those RS4 Recaros have Airbags? (side bags)
I assume probably not and am curious what Deactivation Warnings you are seeing.
Thanks.

Those seats are gonna look awesome when they are all done :drool:

No they don't have airbags well not safety ones ha ha just the ones that inflate with the bolsters and back support.
Not sure about warning lights yet as the cars had the battery disconnected for a week while everything is being trimmed.
I have a mate at VW so i'll take the car up there and get him to sort out the airbags etc with the computer system hopefully.
-
^^^^
You'll find that neither VW UK nor any VW dealership will recode the airbag warnings as programmed for your individual car when built. It's all to do with legal responsibilities etc. Even if you're prepared to sign a document, they won't do it. But I was curious just in case you knew a workaround.
What you can do though is get someone to VCDS it so that the warning info only comes up at initial ignition systems check and then disappears along with the rest unless there is a problem with the other actually existing airbags, in which case the warning will remain and be flashing continuously.

Ahh cool thanks for the info mate, i'll see what happens when they get fitted and tell you the solution that he sorted for me.

Greenouse also needs to know if anything can be done beyond the stage I've got mine to. So it'll be good to know what you find out later.

I thought there was a resistor you could wire in to fool the car thinking airbags were present ?

No it's a great forum and i appreciate peoples comments good or bad, i totally agree i try to build a kind of a showy drivers car the mini was 230-240bhp (never had it on the rollers) so it had a little bit of poke to have some fun, Same with the golf really comfort inside great hifi and then good stoppers and a bit of performance, granted the airbags may hold me back a bit on the performance but after doing a fair bit of research all the american boys rekon there as good as some coilovers if you buy a decent setup which i will.
plus i get some great stance at shows with air (well in theory ha ha its not fitted yet)

I can't belive i'm updating this at this time just got the car back together for the road trip to belgium friday, Went for the kenwood double din satnav blue tooth unit help me get there ha ha.

I know i really want these on so i can put my rims on also, just can't whack them on tho i've got to build my boot build to pland where everything is going to fit, then i think i'm going to need to sort out my brake upgrade so i know where the wheels will sit and how much i need to roll/flare my arches then once that lot is done i can start playing with the stance
The tank and electronics should start going in fairly soon though.
Million and one jobs and one set of hands lol and lots of other ars to build for clients aswell is killing me lol.

-
not sure i'm a fan of hiding the tailpipe but the way its been done does look factory fresh :happy2:
-
Not something that I'd do or even consider, but it looks like you've done it very well indeed. May I ask why you would want to hide the exhaust??

cheers mate i knew people might not agree with it i'm just into the smooth look when i get the aire on and get it laying on the deck i think it'll look alot cleaner from the rear.

As above it's a bit random now but playing the long game when i'm laying on the deck it'll work alot beter from the rear :rolleye: :rolleye:
Still got to smooth the grain out of the bottom half of the rear and colour code it but this will happen when i shorten my number plate recess.
-
Thought about doing that in the past but was nver sure if it would make it look like a GTI replica. Have you removed the back box to put the downswept pipe on?

Its a magnex stainless system the last bit of the tailpipe just un bolted, so i had the exhaust place replicate it but just put a downturn on instead of the twin no back box's have been lost and the system sounds the same as it was.
I'm not overally fussed if it looks like a replica as long as it doesn't go like a replica when i'm finished lol :laugh: :laugh:
-
I love smoothed rears :rolleye: should look very effective when its on the deck. :happy2:

Love it matey :happy2:

I'm not overally fussed if it looks like a replica as long as it doesn't go like a replica when i'm finished lol :laugh: :laugh:
I think it looks pefect mate, Just wish i had had the balls to do it first, Although i do like the exhaust on Jeroen Dik's old GTi, (before the smash) just a shame i cant find any pics other than the ones in PVW.

Cheers Dude,
the kit is airlifted the bags are just finishing development and should be ready next month about perfect timing for me by the time the compressors and tank are installed, I've just become the Uk distrobutor for the kit but as anything i sell i'll install it first on mine and then give a review etc before reccomending people but all there other kits are amazing after seeing and talking to them at the sema show last year in vegas so i can't see this kit being a let down.

Not really an update on the car but i thought it was about time to sort myself out with some decent cleaning products and after being at gti international today i made my way to the AUTO PERFECTION stand and took the plunge and kitted myself out for with some great products.

The front grill strip will be and with the alphards i was just going to polish them and paint my brakes, but a nice set of splits has just come up that i may go for which i was going to do the centres the same colour. I'm not fussed dude if you rock the purple.
I just didn't wat to look like i grinched off your idea as your wheels would be done well before mine lol.

I need to get my head down now and start finishing parts i started ages ago like the rear quarters and boot then i can trim thee up. Then move onto rims and stance, then once this has been done move back onto the front door cards and then trim the inserts on these.
Is the list ever going to finish ha ha.
-
well i've had these on for a few days now, as you have probably picked up interiors and audio etc is my division and tuning i need to be guided a little, but with running alot of forge parts on my mini and never having a problem and acheiving great driving results, i figured there was only one way to go with the golf. The service was great and the products even greater as usual.
I spoke to Pete and advised me which parts to go for, of which i now have them all fitted bar the coolant hoses. They are to shortly follow when i take my car off the road for a weekend.
Twintercooler- amazing bit of equipment easy installation aswel (well when you have a mechanic freind on board lol).
The new twintake - which i'm still smiling from ear to ear after 3 days just thinking how much difference this makes in performance and the wastegate chatter is unreal now lol sounds amazing. A must buy for anyone, honestly.
Forge dv- great bit of kit havn't drove it far with this fitted just round the block and still yet to here any noise over the twintake ha ha :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: I love the twintake as you guessed.
then a bit of a dress up with. battery cover, charcoal cannister cover, washer fluid cover.
I'll update again when the hoses go on, but i'm over the moon with the results and products.
Heres a few pictures if your interested.
the twintake will be available soon HA ha dammmm i got excited aswell i thought there was an update, the mini will be back one day no rush, hopefully won't dissapoint when it does come back but we shall see.
The twintake will be available soon www.forgemotorsport.co.uk

I got as far as snowfoaming it before a coupe of mates come over and wanted me to do some work on there cars, so i left them with the wax etc and went off to do these few small jobs to come back to a clean car wareing my rims i've had ready for months for it lol.
I know it needs lowering it will happen hope you like though.

Cheers mate, I know what your saying i'm not sure if it'd look better with a stock knob (black) or a different coloured vinal at the base (lighter colour to match surrounding plastic) i'm goin to rock it for a few weeks and see how it evolves.

Yes mate i'll use the car at every possible oppurtunity, why am i brave lol pink rocks ha ha?
Cheersfor all the kind comments everyone
-
finally my down pipe is fitted, what a ball ache i hate some exhaust places they just look and talk to you like your a peice of sh*t does my nut in.
ended up fitting it myself with a freind after i was told "nah mate we can't do it you need to take the engine out" i've never heard so much bollocks in my life surely you couldn't take an engine out the car anway without disconnecting the exhaust.
This has been the hardest part of the build so far ha ha.
I' stop ranting now.
But daaaammmmm does it already feel alot more lighter on the accelerator and pulls alot better. the sound is pretty damm cool aswel. I can't wait to have the pump fitted and the remap. It's goung to be so much fun.
I'd like a big thanks to
Ed30 matt on here for sorting out the downpipe and all the random stressed phonecalls while some exhaust guy feeding me sh*te.
And my mate mark for the help of fitting it all.
-
Oh my God, What a PLANK! need to take the engine out? :booty: :booty:
I hate it how most initiative has been completely lost from society! glad you eventually got it sorted mate, any pics/vids of how it sounds now?
-
Glad I could help mate any time :happy2: that guy saying engine out was funny I almost peed my pants when u said that :scared:
-
I thought i'd chuck a couple of pics up of the updates.
Here's a couple of shots of the punto now that it's complete i didnt really want to put them up before collection as the customer had no idea whatwas happening to his car and didn't want him to find some pics on the net before initial collection. But he's well happy with the end result to say the least :laugh:.

what's different to the rear bumper, what's been done and why?

hot hot hot. i love the recess, even better than the usa one. Not as deep, to suit a UK plate. love it luke!
-
what's different to the rear bumper, what's been done and why?
The GTi Exhaust cutout has gone (done a while ago though) then about 2-3 inch has been taken out of the number plate recess to suit my shorter number plate. Attention to detail no point running a shrter plate and leaving the recess big lol.
It makes the rear end look well phat now so so so with the outcome, can't wait for it to be painted.
hot hot hot. i love the recess, even better than the usa one. Not as deep, to suit a UK plate. love it luke!
Cheers mate The original plan was to get the USA one but after measuring up the recess it wouldn't work. But now seeing this in the flesh i'm so much happier with this.
-
that looks great love the plate too :pomppomp:
-
This is incredible! I thought at the start it was just an interior job, soooo glad your doing the whole car!
Can't wait to see the final thing!
-
That rear bumper is class. Truly one off now.
Feeling the plate to in anticipation for air :jumping:
-
like the shortened recess :pomppomp:
thought you's have gone for VW 02 LOW (£785) or PA 02 LOW (£245)... but i'm just being picky :signLOL:

Cheers Yeh my mate is really a true artist when it comes to plaggy welding etc told him what i wanted and this guy just makes it happen. It's how most bodyshops should be instead of some of the moaning cutting corners i've seen in the past.

Cheers dude.
I bought the plate about 3 years ago now and i didn't have a vw then. Plus i have R U 02 LOW if were getting picky lol for my mini So when there together i have RU 02 LOW and UR 02 LOW. Plus i thought people behind the car reading the plate would read it as "your 2 low" hopefully my car being 2 low lol.
But the other plates are pretty cool :happy2:
Cheers for the comments
-
nah dude its a quality plate, especially with you having the RU also.
ps, did you get my pm about the retrim? any idea on price? :happy2:

So very true, Just finding someone who is good at plastic welding is bad enough.

This is weird! I normally detest (yes, really detest!) VeeDubs which have been debadged, slammed down so low, rims off other car brands, upholstered in shocking colours.....BUT!!!
Having just seen these pics posted across the pond I really think it's elegant in the extreme. I've never doubted your high standard of workmanship but just never liked this kind of project.

It's the fact that the colour scheme of black setting off the 'fuschia' interior and that the alloys aren't blingy shiny and that the whole is kinda restrained - That's what I love about it. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Cheers mate, i'm glad you appreciate the car, even though i've not had the car long i have put months of planning colour schemes together i wanted to try and live on the edge getting peoples attention but not for the wrong reasons, it seems to be working so far.
I won't be doing alot more really trimming a few more parts inside brake upgrade finishing ff my audio/rear quarters and end of the year maybe a blow over same colour just to get rid of the few stone chips scuffs it has from the previous owner.
Great thread this one!

Yes the reason for the doors not being done is that i need to move the midbass speaker from the crap position at the back of the door to the better position of the front of the door. Once this is done i'll carry on with the trimming it's just getting time to do this.
I also need to finish off the rear quarters i started ages agao ha ha.
My aim is to get it done for ultimate dubs next march.

loving the laying of the frame :grin: :happy2:
steering wheel doesnt do it for me, and if it did, the rs4 branding would irritate me :laugh:
surprised you didnt go more aftermarket with it
loving your ride to date though fella, still dont like those rims but adore everything else, especially the colour!

ha ha thats cool i trial fitted my other rims the other day so will be a bit of a winter project getting these to fit and tuck hopefully.
Just got a thing for the rs4 wheel really the idea from the begginign was to run brakes seats and wheel, but the brakes things has taken a bit of a change but being as i've had the wheel for a while i thought i may aswel fit it. Hopefully going to start getting the buttons to work the airride etc in the near future.

I love the steering wheel mod Luke, if you could manufacture a VW centre in Alcantara it would be a winner for me. :happy2:
Have you had the wheels re-polished and coloured yet. :party: :party: :party:

No i've got some serious work to do to get the wheels onto the car to be fair, thw wheels fit great if you were on coilovers but i just can't get them to tuck enough the tyres are coming off them today then down to the endgineering shop tomoz to hopefully machine the backs down a couple of mm to get them tucking better. then put the tyres back on get it stancing right then back off with the tyres and plit them down and paint the centres.
Bit of a nightmare but these things are sent to try us lol.

this build is mental
fair play mate
not keen on the sterring wheel but love everything else

Cheers mate thats cool glad you like it, i realise the more i travel along with the project the bigger the divide will come with people not liking parts but like we all do (or at least should do) we build our cars for us and our own personal tastes.
I appreciate everyone's comments good or bad on the project which is cool and help me to learn from others veiws on the vehicle.

Well the bug has bitten hard now and like all my cars i know i'm going to get way carried after going to players yesterday and truely enjoying myself and the show.
Heres a few updates i got bored of seeing the car up on axle stands all day saturday before the show while we messed with the stance to drop the back down a little more so i stripped the centre console and began to play. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
More to come this week i think ha ha.

Ha ha the rims are cool for a starter mod buying them before the car and being mono blocks keeping them clean for winter is all good. My bbs splits are actually at the engineering shop today so preogress is happening but i can't see them going on the car anytime soon lol but it is happening mate.
I decided to got motorsport last night and strip a load of parts of the interior.
Ok i only stripped it to trim them then they'll be going back in end of the week ready for westside show this weekend hopefully.

Awesome :congrats: Saw this at edition, mega impressed. Interiors stunning! :happy2:
Cheers mate need ot get it finished lol but it'll get there.
Finally got my system wired in today so if anyone wishes a demo of a great hifi system at a show or want to pop over anytime fell welcome. I've mounted the midbass in the stock location for now but will relocate it to the front of the door over winter.
I'll chuck some more pics of bits i've trimmed up later in the week for you.
-
The car looks awesome mate had a good look around it at players on sunday really like what you have done with the interior and the stance is sweet!!
Would have had a chat with you mate but had a pretty busy day was on the gate with ash all morning! keep it up mate looking forward to more updates!
-
i envy you the skill of just being able to want something and create it like you do, a true talent mate seriously :congrats:
Completely agree. Not a fan of the pink colour either but the finish looks amazing and the work looks really well done. I think I'd have gone for a red interior but compared to yours its a bit "boring"!

I can quite understand that people wouldnt want to rock the pink/fucia colour. I just feel from a company talking point it seems to be going down well, but yes red and black would of rocked aswell, just a little tame for getting noticed. I'm glad you appreciate the work.
Thanks

Just finished reading this thread....Very nice build :congrats:
I'm no where near that ambitious but want to start with something small like the shark fin (2nd one) you fitted. Is it a VW OEM part and is it straight plug and play (once you drop the headlining of course).
Also roughly how much is it?
Cheers.

Nice to finally meet you Luke! I hope you was happy with the spot you got in the hanger...
Heres some pics i have of your car from Players..

thanks for the kind comments glad you like the build.
The shark fin i'm afraid isn;t VW OEM nor was it a stright plug and play (well it kind of was but you have to run the aerial lead all the way to the front to the stereo not just plug it in at the rear.
If i'm honest the reception isn't that great on the second shark fin i fitted so i now have this dicoonected and an awesome glass mount one buried behind the dash which works alot better.
I'll probably have the aerial completly smoothed over winter anyway.
Good to meet you to ash them pictures rock cheers mate yes inside was fine thanks for sorting that out.

ok after another late night and practically 2days worth of nights the project is starting to turn UBER cool.
I've now intergrated my RS4 steering wheel with the car.
But intergrated into what i hear you say ha ha.
Here's a couple of pictures with the switches illuminated aswell to really take the mick ha ha.

So has some sort of custom wiring had to be done to get them illuminated? Do the buttons work?
Custom wiring isn't the half of it mate honestly anyone thats looked at the steeering column of one of these things will maybe understand, But yes all the buttons are fully functional. we set them up as the following.
the set button- i've wired to turn my set on (headunit) without the key in the igniton so i can deo the system easy enough as it's set up for the driver and i will be in the passeneger seat majority of the time for demo.
the S (sport button) we have set to ride height also working on a timed relay circuit that will pull my bolsters in on the seats like the rs4 (all electronic) which i've wired in to work of the seat buttons but not the steering wheel yet.
The + is airride up
The - is airride down i have also flushed a safety switch into the centre console so that when driving me or anyone else can push the - sign and the car won't go down, for safety reasons obviously. :smiley: :smiley:
Then obviously the lighting in the wheel comes on with illumination like the rest of the dash does.

i,m sooooo jealous, not only of the car..............(.and the wheels VC :P)
but of your ability to just go and do whatever the hell you want to your car :sad1:

Do the RS4 seats fit straight in or do they require any modifications?

I'm working on it i actually tried last night but the battery dies half way through lol i'll get one tonight. I'm guessing you want it of the airride yes.

Cheers mate, glad you like it.
The rs4 has a locating pin on the bottom of the seat which you could either drill the floor of your car or just nib it off the seat rail with a sanding pad in the grinder like i did and line the 4 bolt holes up yourself apart from that yup they go straight in.
Getting them working is the cool bit :laugh: :laugh:

I will try get down to UD but i'm between jobs at the minute and waiting on the new one to start so I need to keep a limit to my spending. Also could do with a nice Dub to drive myself down there. :driver:

Cheers mate, everyones entitled to there opinion and i respect that, no matter what you do in life you can't please them all ha ha. spoilt is a little harsh though lol it does everything better than it did from the day i bought it apart from put luggage in the boot ha ha. :laugh: :laugh:

I would probably agree if I didnt know what you did as I would never want my car looking like that (Colour wise). But to showcase your skill and what can be achieved, you have executed it perfectly. :happy2:

I do totally agree matey the car is built to poke a reaction love it or hate it your talking about it and from a business point of veiw that can only be great.
I just wanted to do something no one has really touched on before red's, browns, tans, blacks work but all the obvious choice and wouldn't work for me to be fair. The amount of people that comment on the colour when seeing the car is unreal (good and bad) but it shows it's making an impression, which is what i set out to do i suppose :happy2:
I'm probably not making much sence or explaining myself very well as i am properly wore down now on the lead up to UD with hitting deadlines for people etc :rolleye: :rolleye:
But after this show i can probably start ebing more active on the forum again. :drinking: :happy2:

WOW huge thread!!!!

I don't know if it's me but every osir mask i have seen it never seemed to fit perfectly and always covered the corners of the red stripe bugged the hell out of me. so i made my own lol that does fit. still needs laquering but hopefully you get the idea.

Stunning as ever mate.. Quality of the finish is what makes the car just come together and work so well.. Very very impressive!! :smiley:
Cheers Mate, means alot, What you building nowadays then?

TTRS.. Kinda getting to the stage where I need to talk to you actually :grin:

Love your dedication and effort BUT that is OTT and spoilt IMHO.
Second that! But love the enthusiasm :smiley:

Just joined this site (I have an Audi not a mk5) but just wanted to say that this car is awesome! Saw some pics on a friends Facebook and then found this build thread.
Love the seats etc.. and the new colour is awesome!
What happened to the plans with the BBS?

Cheers dude appreciate it.
The bbs got sold after i just couldn't lay the car out with the offset etc we tried everything and i didn't want to go down the custom arch route.
I did want to keep them but a freind turned up at mine just at the right time ( i was spitting my dummy out lmao) and said he'd buy them so i just said yeh.We literally did everything to try and get them under the arches and still lay the subframe on the floor.
I'm happier with the new wheels now though mate although that took some working out and mesuring up to get them to sit right.
-
Ah fair enough dude, like the new wheels anyway so no loss from where im sitting!
Wish I had the funds to get on with my car after spending a couple of days on and off reading this :laugh:
-
we just bagged an a3 this week looks so so good :laugh: :laugh: i can't put pics up though at the mo as i think the guy wants to keep it till the weekend.
-
Oh god! :laugh: Could be the end of me lol
How much is an air kit? Would want one with the presets really (like bagyard) but have no knowledge of air at all really :ashamed:
All ive done to date is coilovers and a half assed drop for practicality! (and got a puncture) so I think wheels will be on the cards if I can find something cheap and cheerful for the time being, then in 6 months maybe crack on properly. Driving around 500 miles a week at the moment, so stonechips are a problem, along with service/diesel bills and being 19 im paying ridiculous insurance still! All adds up and doesnt give me much to spend on the car after going out etc.. lol
-
Oooh and when you are able to put pics up, would be awesome to see if possible :happy2:
-
The a3 you bagged is sh*t, and ur car is even worse, dunno who would use you, you cant even tighten up subframe bolts, oh no, thats somebody else :grin: :laugh:

.
I had a good look at your Mk5 at Inters, plush :notworthy:. You know it's not my scene but your workmanship is second to none.
:congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

Saw your car at Inters looked fabulous. Did you speak directly with Joel at Eurojet to get the rocker cover?

Thanks mate it means alot when people can appreciate the level of work that goes into the cars even if it is not what there into. It's crazy but alot of the interior is ovr a year old now.

Yes we have become a eurojet dealer along with a few other companies now but trying to keep on top of it all and promoting everything is taking quite some time to get out there. The rocker cover is gorgous peice of work thats why we wante to leave it in it's raw state and not paint or polish it .

It's not steel grey :sad1: :sad1:
It's a lamborghini XYRALIC paint not metalic and not pearl they only paint high end cars in it.
It was a nightmare getting the paint code the painter had to track one down (he only found 2 in the country) go to lambo and pretend to buy it so he could get the paint code off it or something lol.

car looked great on the move when i let you in at inters, the trim colour sits so well with it

I'd sell one of them if you wanted i have a spare rear as the guy who sold me them had 5 of them.

"Has the car been modified" Yes Or No

:drool: Wow, that's a pice of art! One of the finest cars I've seen :love:
Don't know if it's appropriate to ask but I just can't keep wondering how much money (parts+hours working) have you spent with that car? Or have you lost count? (I know I would have) :laugh:

Lovin the engine bay :happy2:
thanks mate just tried to make an ugly bay look the best it can look really without smoothing parts out and losing the functionalbility of it. The car is how i want it now really when driving to holland with 4 people cruising at half decent speeds with some great tunes is what it's all about for me.
-
Loving the engine bay. :love:
.... x 2 - Exactly what I was going to post. Definitely the best looking 2.0T FSI engine bay I've seen without a cover. Very stylish without being OTT.

Get that cylinder head off, I have some paint left over.... :rolleye:

Read through this whole thread yesterday and this car is AMAZING! Is it wet lay carbon that you are doing? I wish it didnt take so long to do as I would do more of it if that was the case.

yes overlay genuine carbon over the factory parts it sends you crackers with all the hours sanding then resin then sanding then resin :rolleye: :rolleye: :rolleye:
Here are a few more updates anyway it has only taken me a year to finally do the door builds :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
The midbass now is soo strong and puts a massive smile on your face with all the hours that have gone into this.
the speaker placement in a mk 5 is practically the only thing i hated about this car when buying it.
So we decided we needed to move the midbass to the front of the door where VW in the wizdom decided to move it to the bk of the door just for the mk 5 lol. they got it right in the mk 1,2,3,4,6 ha ha.
but rather than it just play flat againt the door we needed to build a sealed chamber that would port it back into the door also throught the factory speaker location.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf466.jpg&hash=d3e008fc053838df10fc4d4159560d58dd35f529)
start of the chamber with door fully soundproofed.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf465.jpg&hash=e7642dd1d9b589e7b3490cd45371d8a1f9ee8f83)
being as it has been working lates etc i've been a bit sketchy with the pictures but here you can see the front of the chamber complelty sealed and bolts solidly to the door. ( the door card mearly acts as a finishing peice).
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf458.jpg&hash=41f64a2c536f1c713e021a9b2186ee0de77ca9f6)

then a little work on the door card :laugh:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf464.jpg&hash=681dee9b4ebdbd4d522a60eed7da1c5985b88846)
then trimmed and on the car only thing left to finish is the door handles which we have relcated the fuel flap switch into the drivers handle.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf462.jpg&hash=a462b61b3a39e2fd395ad20121de74d322edd70d)
and the passeneger door. the other thing that bugged me is the fact the door cards arn't symetrical from the factory so i order an american one(left hand drive) and we fabricated that to fit on the passeneger door. Again we have the handle to plastic eld up with the usual extra controls and just leave the passenger window switch in there.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv653%2FM444SSY%2Fmymk5golf463.jpg&hash=ed06f67bc9c897c6a32df37905b90bd561f39070)
hope you like.

Awesome work as usual luke. Yeah i never got why the decided to put the speakers where the wer in the mk5.
-
Absolutely epic car mate :drool: :drool:
-
Love it mate.
Was there anything behind the doorcard to stop the speaker being placed forwards?
I don't think I've ever paid enough attention to the doorcards. Apart from controls, are there any other visible external differences between them or is it all hidden?

no you obvioulsy have to lose the pocket to put the speaker there but the structual work is there and some of the window motor behind the first skin of metal as we could of remove that and ported it direct into the door making life alot easier ha ha. but hey we all like a challange.
external differences are the actaual fabric insert and handles.
-
:drool:. Stunning progress mate. It's been a while since I've looked through here. The engine bay looks fantastic. Can't believe how much you've achieved in such a relatively short time (considering all the work on your car, along with general business)
Congrats on the 2nd place. Crazy that it was 2nd though.
We've got to talk soon. :wink: You sir have a client if you have the time. :smiley:
Did you figure out a good solution to blending in the BitOne remote into the interior? It stands out like the dogs anywhere you put it in it's current casing.

Being as i am using the bit one as a processor i dont need the drc control but ues i'm sure i could find somewhere suitable for it and blend it in a heater vent would be great but you may lose that vent. The centre ashtray is where we put airrdie controls so that could work or even in the sunglasses holder.
Yes we can squeeze you in lol always room for another mk 5 ha ha although we have 3 here already. :rolleye:
Getting it done has been tough alot of late hours and i have a good team behind me now that will stay late to get the job done. :happy2:
-
Congrats on you know what :booty::happy2:
-
that looks great, will you retrim anything? and are you happy fitting basic stuff into a car, like a couple of amps/speakers etc nothing fancy.
-
yes of course we will it doesn't matter how big or small the job is we have just gone this far because we need to show what can be acheived and im :rolleye: :rolleye: :rolleye: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and can't leave things alone.
-
sounds good, were looking to get our TT retrimmed in the near future, and then I've got a load of bits to throw in, 2 amps + the fronts and then possibly a fibre glass sub build, then its the same with the Leon, it just depends on if i want the hassel :)

my middle name is hassle ha ha i'm sure it'll be fine mate is it mk 2 TT mate?
-
nope its a Mk1 TT roadster, its got black leather and we wanted red, it was easier to find a TT than it was a black car with red leather. I'm in the process of collecting some bits so i can remove BOSE, i've got an JL E1200 for the sub which will either be a 6.5 or 8" sub and then a Genesis Profile 2 for the front, its just a case of picking up some cheap 6.5's for the front, but my Leon might be first in que, thats a DLSCA51 i've got the fronts, just need a sub and HU.

if you do need equipment supplying we have alot in stock and can put you a package deal together no worries. Probably best to drop me a pm dude.
Weve done a few mk 1 tt's now the bose system isn't really anything to rave about lol.
-
will do, & yes bose is crap :)

what part is that matt?
he has my old r32 lower on it, does everyone just get rid of their stuff to luke? :grin:
-
ha ha i have matts downpipe on it.
Which the exhaust place told me they needed to take the engine out to fit it so me and mark my freind/works for me fitted it and there was no engine removal lol.
-
one of the bolts is a pig but you dont need to take the engine out!
-
Nice one Luke, is pvw out now? I might go and pick it up later on.
Darren
-
yes mate pvw is out now :smiley:
-
car looks amazing in pvw Luke...my fav mod on your caris the door handles :smiley:
-
^ I don't know how you picked a favourite mod Maxitrol, I've got about 40 :laugh: :wink: The rims for one are pure sex.
Looks great in the shoot!
It's actually the first time I've bought PVW but it's an excellent read, the coverage of Luke's ride that is. Has Craigs been in there too in the past? :smiley:

too much love for the car, luke and his buisness, great friend and master builder!!!
:love:
-
so whats next Luke?? im guessing youl be starting again soon now its been a PVW cover car! :party:
+ i dont think theres anything left to change! :signLOL:
-
i'm so up in the air with the project at the minute to be fair i properly enjoy the build even though it does stress me out and i have a lot of parts sat here to take it to another level, but i'm unsure if that level will be better or just a step sideways if that makes sence.
We will see i've had jonny c's ko4 sat here for about a year now lol i want to hybrid it (i read a thread on here about someone doing it) i also toyed with ideas like smoothing the bay etc but i just think i'll ruin the car with the ditching the creature comforts like air con etc and ruin the fun we have in it driving all over the place.
Does anyone have ay ideas they want to throw out in the open i'm all up for bouncing ideas about if anyone thinks i could make it a little better just dont mention my whack rear brakes it's all in hand just didnt have time before the photo shoot ha ha.
-
Can the best mk5 gti in country/europe get any better? :happy2:
More carbon?roof like lomax?
How come there's no pics of boot build in pvw?

i may do a few more carbon details to it yes.
I know i'm guessing they ran out of space in the mag to try and get everything in on 8 pages its a shame but ahh well maybe anothr mag will cover that.

I personally wouldnt put the KO4 turbo on the KO3 block, some will say its fine others would be like me and say no!
Its a hard one as ive stood infront of your car scratching my head and thinking, what else can he do! But then think that more isnt always better.....lol. What ever you do next then im sure itl be awesome as you clearly have an eye for design. :happy2:
-
really i thought it was a common upgrade to put this on a a gti? That was my next big move to get some more power out of it or am i pretty much at my limits now with the gti?
-
depends if you want to go stage 2+ with it. :smiley:
-
im already running stage 2+ mate well i think i am
Revo stage 2+
forge twinter cooler
blue flame down pipe sports cat
magnex cat back
forge twintakes
apr fuel pump
Whats next?
-
i ment stage 2+ on the ko4 as its about 350bhp,
i was going to do the same and put a Ko4 on mine after i cracked the ko3, but then was advised that pistons may get bent. The edition 30 block has uprated internals over the ko3.
Im not the most nolidgeable on here! lol, but im sure somebody will be along soon to explain a little better than me :signLOL:

yes thats what i wouldnt mind doing 350+ bhp what would be the next things i need to do if anyone could help that would be cool?
would i need to change the internals then anyone got any links or anything on who to speak to what to do etc?
-
Fantastic car in every way mate :happy2:
Congrats on the trophies and features bud :congrats:
I have been running my k04 converted k03 engine (350+) for a year now with absolutely no faults , and I drive the car hard more than regularly :driver:
IMO I think its when you try and extract more power than k04 stage 2+ then you really need to start thinking of internals :smiley:
-
It's the possibility to make lots of low end torque that kills the rods not pistons, safe limit is about 440nm to 470nm but again depends how the torque curve is made by the software. I've been running my K04'ed k03 engine for a year and a half, no worries whatsoever :happy2:
-
think you should leave your car alone now and start on mine :signLOL:
-
this is good lots of positive comments about k04ing :laugh: :laugh: need more power now everything else is sorted on it ha ha. :rolleye: :rolleye:
-
So nice to see people still put this level of time, skill and effort into modding cars...amazing :happy2:
-
Countless amounts of people are running K04 turbo on a 'Ko3' bottom end.. Absolutely no issues there what so ever so long as the tune is safe.. Which Revo Stage 3 is..
Personally I wouldnt bother going hybrid on the K04.. For the cost the gains are marginal.. And I don't think anyone has managed to prove its any quicker than a well set up S2+ OEM K04 car yet either..
-

....Hmm, reading this makes me slightly regret not upgrading to K04 when my K03 broke. Still, I couldn't afford both the KW suspension and the K04 conversion at the time. I should be very happy with what I've got (and stop visiting this forum!).

Wait and see Mr C. I have done a different hybrid to the likes of TD/TT etc using a different comp wheel. It may turn out to be sh*te, or it could be awesome! :P

Truly epic car, loved the feature in PVW

this is good lots of positive comments about k04ing :laugh: :laugh: need more power now everything else is sorted on it ha ha. :rolleye: :rolleye:
Given that you've smoothed out the in-let manifold (and in the process removed a lot of structural bracing and reinforcement) I'd be very careful upping things like boost pressure. Although the in-let looks very nice now, it's also significantly weaker than it was before as by removing material you'll have introduced numerous localised weaknesses.
I've seen a couple of plastic in-lets explode before and that was with factory boost levels and OEM parts. Some MKII RS's have been plagued by this problem. So upgrading your turbo and significantly increasing boost, through a 'cosmetically' modified in-let manifold, could be asking for trouble.
Just my 2p. Keep up the good work! I'm not into the scene at all, but I admire your hard work, the attention to detail and the sheer quality of your work. :happy2:

thanks for the heads up mate i appreciate it and this is what the forum is about to learn and bounce ideas off each other.
I have the inlet situation in hand admittadly not because of the reason you stated but because it looks well cool and a friend across the pond is just doing the final tests on a billet one.
I want to run it over here in the UK but also want someone else to run one as part of a deal to give an honest unbiased reveiw on the product. :smiley:
-
I was going to suggest some sort of bespoke power-coated metal one. Keen to see what this billet item looks like.
-
Love the car and feature...
So much work and excellently executed!! Look forward to seeing it at a show!
-
Wow............ just read the whole thread, spent ages looking at all the details at Westside this year.

I didn't know the RS4 was yours, i just thought you had worked your magic on it. I have to say the quality of the work inside on the leather was amazing, the seats would not have came from the factory that good. :notworthy: :notworthy:
-
Didn't pay too much attention to the RS4. Was too in love with the mk5!
-
I didn't see that there either, just kept on looking at the MK5 and MK1/2 (the red one next to yours)
Did you even have to advertise your GTI? Didn't realise you were getting rid, real shame that.
Not sure what another person could do to give it there own twist.

exactly, i bet the new owner was gutted when people were walking past all day saying, 'thats luke's car' :signLOL:
-
Love this car! If i'd seen it for sale I would have been VERY tempted :laugh:
The interior is the RS4 was stunning, but the mad colour of the golf wins for me.
I did once email Plush about a few things but never got a response, guessing work must be good!

yeh the mk 2 is pretty special good mate of mine :) no didnt advertise the mk 5 it wasnt even for sale as i was just getting it the wayi wanted it but the right person and the right offer came through and i got this dirty idea in my head about bagging an rs4 ha ha to show cars do handle on air :)
I dont think she is doing anything to it apart from driving it ever day which is great i built that car to be driven and so happy it being used now as a proper daily.

Thanks... Ive recently spent ALOT on the car but I'll be in touch in the summer. Prob best I just call when I do.
I need to hunt down a r32 interior first! :scared:

Not the ex AX/106 Mike G?
-
Didn't realise it won Best MK5, nice one Luke! :drinking:

It is me again sadly! :grin: Got the bug again. Tried to grow up with a new 3 series but when a good car came up I couldn't say no...
Will PM you when my posts are high enough.

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship Luke, wish I could get these results instead of just imagining them! I'm puzzled by the pink centre console and can't see a reference to it (sorry if Iv'e missed it, I've read the whole lot in one sitting) Is it leather wrapped and if so what type/thickness of skin is it? It just looks so perfect I can't get my head around it but I fancy giving it a try.
Look forward to reading about your next work of art, keep it up mate, it's inspirational.
Regards,
John

This car was parked next to me on the campsite at edition 38 i had to jump start it lol the new owner is very nice:p
-
Flat battery?
I saw it on the showground on the Sunday, but it vanished midway through the day, sure it would have won best MK5 had it stayed around!
-
it came third on the day, but she took the car home before the trophies :ashamed:
-
Yeh flat battery she must have left summit on for too long
-
epic thread this :notworthy:

Hi mate are these osir ones? If not who makes them and could you pm or post me a link?
Cheers mate
Update MY carbon wing mirrors have just arrived can't leave this stuff alone now, not sure what the fit will be like but going from the bonnet these should be bang on. There a full replacement but i wont be fitting them until my smoked indicator lenses arrive next week from awesome gti.

Hope you like comments welcome.

Don't think Luke comes on here anymore. But pretty sure he carbonned them himself. C6 carbon can skim a pair for around £130 I think.
-
Cheers pal I'll have a look at them
-
who has this now and is there any updates from them?
-

A young girl owns it now.
She hasn't done anything to it since, though there isn't really much more you can do to this car IMO.
Doesn't do the shows in it either due to some choice comments made I think
-
real shame, it is a gorgeous car and should be appreciated by all

Such a shame, it is an awesome car... I had a lot of time for this...

That's disappointing - a show car like this deserves to be in shows. What happened? Am I right in thinking she was at UD 2011?
-
what an amazing build thread even tho the car has been passed on thats one of the best built mk5 golfs ive seen
-
lovely build thread buddy! where did you order the alcantara suede from? and how much of it did you need to complete your roof liner and pillars ? just as im wanting mine done for new year, thanks!

best contacting Luke on his web site
