Hello there new member here from Manchester.
I know this is a gti site but seen some other cars here and it seems the forums is more active for mk5 golf's.
Just a quick couple of pics of my 08 match 1.9tdi
All the usual extras the match gets highline, mfsw, armrest ipod dock, auto wipers and lights etc.
Plus I have fitted some genuine monzas and had the powder coated gun metal grey.
Last week I also had fitted some eibach pro springs as well.
Just a quick hello and a couple of pics.
Thinking of remap next :)
Cheers

Could do a quick photoshop to give you an idea at some point on the tints. I'm sure someone (RedRobin) could beat me to this if he sees this :P
GTI kit would be nice. Just put a jetta front bumper on mine :)

There is a brand of non-OEM ones which are meant to fit pretty well..... I just cant remember which brand it is!

Read some good stuff about the jom ones.
There at the higher end at around £250.
Got some creaking since fitting the springs so gotta sort that arb bushes I think.

Just a update.
I have know fitted new genuine gti side skirts which I had smoothed and colour coded.
Fitted a gti front bumper and grill and had this painted plus a black front badge.
so other than the eibach pro's and powder coated monzas the only other thing I have done is a hid kit and a Awsome gti remap.
Pics are not great as of phone but don't have a camera lol.
First fitted the side skirts

Looking a lot better buddy with the GTI bits!
Although word to the wise, HIDs in the stock headlights are really blinding so I would recommend removing them and fitting some uprated bulbs instead. :fighting2:
Just needs to go a bit lower now I think, and would be perfect. :party:
-
Cheers for the comments.
Would like to go lower but just not pratical enough for me I am afraid.
I have the HR7 kit from hids direct that was like £145 they have no glare and same beam patteren.
Next to my boss's beemer with factory ones the cut of etc is identical.
Trust me the more expensive hr7 kits that hid direct do are like normal.
cheers again :happy2:

Nice looking golf mate very sim to my own keep up the good work , got the same creaks on my suspension running coil overs also

What engine code is it? I had an AVQ PD105 Touran that I had mapped & I ended up with about 140bhp & loads of torque. Made it more economical too! Good luck with the car - welcome to the forum - from another non-gti non-golf owner! (I've now got a Jetta Pd140 sport)

Hi ..like what you have done ...had mine mapped at midland vw ...was running 112bhp standard and ended up with 142.2bhp on bxe 1.9tdi engine ...ive just fitted eibach's pro sports on mine and luckily have no creak at all but then my 57 plate has only done 34000

Cheers for the comments guys.
Don't know what power its running but I've had no improvement in mpg.
However I don't do many long journeys and I think I do have quite a bit of clutch slip as well which hopefully I can sort out in the near future.
Not sure on engine code would have to look in the manual but it's the 105.
Just got to get some fogs now as well ::)

Yeah same here No worse but no better.
Saying that I'm going of the computer which I know is not accurate especially with the bigger wheels.
I should try to work it out properly next fill :)
