Hey guys,
I have now purchased a Mk 5 GTI and here it is at the moment, (will get better pics soon). I must say it's great to drive, comfy and feels excellent on the road, cant wait to drive it some more to be honest, but i'll have to wait a while :drool:
The previous owner changed a few bits and bobs, which is always a good start, and it now means i will now have a few bits for sale lol... :lol:): so if any one is interested in the bits in red give me a shout, there will be more to come.....
R32 rear lights
Eibach springs - 40mm
BBS CH Replicas, have just had new tyres fitted
Added cruise control
VW OEM Double din Sat nav, i pod lead and 6 disc changer.
APR Remap so now has 255bhp - 301lbft
I'll keep you all updated when things start to move on, the car is currently with plush-automotive so watch this space :happy2:

Thanks mate im loving the look of it to, it can still go slightly lower, just need to sort my tyres out 225 are not doing me any favours lol then i can lay frame.
TBH, I haven't driven it long enough to be able to tell if its different on a journey, but for the time i did drive it, i felt the same, still a good ride, and still very very comfortable.
with the boot I wanted to retain useability with the car (for now :evilgrin:), which is why luke did a false floor, when i go to show next year i still need to be able to cart all my wifes bags with us lol :happy2:
i should have a few more updates just after crimbo, see what the fat lad brings me :innocent:

I even had a go at machine polishing (which was way scary) not cutting just using meguirs scrath stuff from fleabay, seems to have come out pretty well...

Craig you've been a bloody busy boy along with Luke!
I think you've got quite a niche look there, so I can only say thumbs up and well done :drinking: The rims perhaps aren't my usual taste but you've put real effort into the stance so it suits them to a tee :smiley:
That last shot looks like they're at some mega cambered' angle :laugh: :driver:

Love the new front end bud :notworthy: Have most of my parts here to go on my car, ie WHEELS/COILOVERS and BIG ASS BRAKES :grin: The guy that is fitting all my parts is flatout with his new buisness, Starting to regret not waiting till i had the funds for AIRRIDE :sad1:, Hope to catch up with at a show soon :drinking:

Helios' are a top choice Craig! They suit that hench stance and Euro/individual look :party:
Thought about a black/grey front VW badge fella or is the front completo? :smiley:
-
Nice wheels :booty:
-
thanks for the comments guys...i love the car sooo much better on the hellios, there is a few changes to my stance i neet to do to get it to sit a little better but thats for next year.
its definatly come a long way since UD greeners, that was the first time i had ever really driven the car and seen the mods etc, so it was nice to get it home and start tinkering lol. Plenty more to come i think :wink:
As for the front grill, the badge and the horizontal lines will be going matt black to refelct the same as my rear badge.. i will put pics up of the mods this afternoon hopefully once i have had a chance to clean again.
lol @ N8kow, me love you long time hellios brother!!!
-
I re-read this thread from start to finish again. Love the mods and the effort gone into it.
The Rousch alloys - would they have fit had you not slammed the car? Would love to see a pic of a MK5 with them on. The Helios don't look as good as the rims before them IMO. What were they?
Was the paintwork just plain black (and not the diamond pearl stuff)? Looks beautifully slick. What did you use?
Still torn on the front grilles. Most people go for the GTI honeycomb grilles and you went the other way. Think it's slowly growing on me though.
EDIT: I just spotted the rim in the boot! No idea how I missed that! :chicken:
-
Craig you know I love your car, its the interior man, its the sickest by far, you should get some R32 buckets, but then you probably would have done that already :grin:
-
Mr T what can I say it looks the dogs :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
How big do those bloody Helios wheels look :laugh: :laugh:
-
looks excellent..has stealth says its good to see you went the other way with the front end as every body is putting the gti front bumper on,I was saying to Daz(mortygttdi) am leaving mine as it is..Hopefully next year get Luke to get my boot build sorted out

Hi Mr Wolf, the rousch alloys would have looked excellet mate, i got the rears to fit 10" but the fronts at 10" wide were having none of it!! glad they are gone now and i have moved onto the hellios, the rims before were Audi A8 Monoblocks, i liked them but not enough to keep them! we'll see how long these last? :innocent:
The paint is the "black magic" colour original just cleaned, it had been sitting for 5 weeks at Lukes so it was pretty dirty, just a quick bath and Chemical Guys CG Detailer and bobs your uncle.
I still like my grills, if i fancy a change i can always put the old ones back on :wink:
Craig you know I love your car, its the interior man, its the sickest by far, you should get some R32 buckets, but then you probably would have done that already :grin:
thanks nath, i thought about them and RS4 seats but then it was at lot of money for not a lot of gain IMO, i like my deatiled GTi seats tbh.. :happy2:
Mr T what can I say it looks the dogs :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

thanks, like i said before i like the grills it's just a little change but there isn't that much to do to a GTi exterior wise without going a bit OTT. i dont want to alter too much. :grin:
i will get pics sorted as soon as it stops raining it hasn't stopped up here for a week :sad1:

I re-read this thread from start to finish again. Love the mods and the effort gone into it.
I just had another read through, the transformation is amazing dude, loving the helios rimmage, absolutely stunning :congrats: :drool:

Loving the fire extinguisher. :notworthy:
And normally oval tips don't work on GTI's, i have seen 3 or 4 and they for some reason don't seem to have worked. But yours most definitely do work to my eye. :congrats:
Your car is starting to climb right up near the top of my Favourite cars on this forum. :happy2:
-
Thanks mate :drinking:
The oval tips were an accident tbh from demon tweeks, so when it was time to build the system its all we had to work with, i've had some stick off some of my mates tho lol.. like fitting a square peg into a round hole. However i like them and thats what matters!! :smiley: see how long they last tho :signLOL:
New wheels this week :popcornsoda:

thanks for the reply Craig, i will let you know once i've made a decision if i want to buy your Compos, i need to buy a few other bits 1st then do the wheels :happy2:
Also just wondering which struts you have with your AirRide?
I'm looking to have AirRide next year so i wanted some shortbase struts to go with the bags, So i was thinking of getting some FK Silverline Coilovers this year and have have bags fitted to them struts next year. Reason i say FK Silverlines is that i've been told they are one of shortest shocks out there which enables to get a lower drop with bags.
-
Hi mate,
my air kit is the : Air Lift 'Super slam' kit, digital controller for the inside etc.. full control over each corner.
The struts on the front are the air lift ones and the rears are Eibach pro street
have you decided which air ride kit your going to have??? speak to Luke @ Plush-automotive, his company imports airlift and all products are in stock,
the kits @ plush are by far the best air ride kit & his installation is amazing, he can tailor the kit to any rerquiremaent you have to.
Hope this helps :happy2:

Thank for info mate :happy2:
Were the Eibach Pro Street struts on the rear something you had before you went for Air? or did you buy them seperately just for the Air setup.
I will definately be going to Luke for the AirLift kit, he's not far from me and the without a doubt the best feedback i've seen and heard of Plush, plus i spoke to him at Westside and i know hes the man to go too :smiley:
I have the money at the moment to have Air now, only thing stopping me is the bad weather we're going to get nearer Xmas, snow and grit etc, so thinking to hold out untill March.
Do you have pics of your Tank install? i'm not sure if i saw any in this thread, i'm on my phone so cant check as i'm writing this.
Cheers
Sunny

My car is now off the road after a little mishap. New sump required after running a little to low (bloody cats eyes)
hopefully will fix it this weekend, pics to follow.
:ashamed:
-
Damn!
Always thought the sump was not so much of a problem on the mk5 as the engine sits higher than the subframe?
Unless you frame took a beating aswell :scared:
-
bloody hell Del it must be low if you have hit the cats eyes :surprised:
-
i was pretty low but not more than normal, think something must have hit this one in particular before, making it protrude higher? i dont know, made a hell of a bang to, was lucky to get to home before all the oil leaked out over my drive. :ashamed:
as for the subframe, thats took a beating all its life :signLOL:
-
Hope you get this sorted mate. But you're more mechanically minded than me.
-
started to change my sump out today, what a bloody mission, 95% of bolts out 1 left will have to try again tomorrow as its too bloody dark and cold now!!! its not something i would reccommend whilst your upside down!!! :ashamed:
new sump, oil and sealant:

George i'll give vw a ring and see about that skid plate, may just have to get a mate to fab one at work tho save a few pennies :rolleye:

Decided it was time for a freshen up for the new year on the wheel front, the winter wasnt kind to my compomotives, and my camber wasn't kind to my tyres so here we have some fresh powdercoated wheels, wrapped in new Maxis 215/35/18 tyres, these are on the same wavelength as falken 452 so im happy + i get an excellent discount on them from my local tyre place Camskill.

What sort of figures are you expecting from the car? is it a case of body pretty much sorted so go for performance now? If so then that's how I am getting now too. :happy2:
lol @ your wheels mate, i know you'll end up with more for next year same as i will ha ha ha.....i have mine in the pipeline already :rolleye: yh rims on now are as we talked about had them 8 weeks now.
body work is getting there mate, still needs a good detail but im happy, performance wise im hoping for around 280/280 they are what Dave@PDT said is achievable which is good for me im not going the K04 route as i want to keep it simple the mods i have now will be enough.
i still need to get a couple of bits done with the interior just a case of sorting a few bits as its a daily bus full show leather is a nightmare lol im constantly frightened of catching it and i caught the rear quater with Sofia baby seat :ashamed:so Luke is going to sort that for me..
Immense this car hope i get the chance to see it next yr at shows? Gd work mate
thanks buddy, yuo will deffo get to see it at some point next year earlier rather than later i hope :happy2:
your looks 900000000 time better now you have worked on it, looked tired last time i saw it but you work has made it a great car again :happy2: love the wheels!! bentleys = :confused:

Such a nice car. How did you get the bonnet to sit properly after having the notch filled, I thought the vw badge on the grill would stick up too far. Did you shave a bit off so it could close?

Dare I say it, but I think some new 3SDM 0.04 would look amazing on this car. Check them out...

Always loved this car since it was black with the aqua interior but this latest update is unreal. so much attention to detail! :drool: :drool:

yh seen them buddy, i have looked at 100's of wheels for the car, the 3SDMs are a nice wheel, just not my cup of tea, tbh i'll stick with RSV wheels now, (not that i'll be getting another set anytime soon with a 6 month wait for manufacture from the states and the price....... :confused:)

Liked this a lot. :happy2:

Some Interior pics :happy2:
McLaren MP4 12-c seats:

MK7 gti wheel, carbon fibre and alcantara and numerous cabin upgrades and details (see spec)

Who did the interior build?
-
The trim was done by Steve at Edge Automotive and the installation of everything was done by Phil at The Install Company who is IMHO by far the best air installer in the country, its ok getting a kit on etc..but its getting the car to sit perfectly, its not just about the drop with air its how its stanced and this guy is the best, his eye for detail and his skill is extrordinary...
He customised the XL perfomance struts to get the front of my car to sit perfectly and he sorted the rear as well as things were just out or 'sorts' so to speak with wheel and tyre fitment, what he can do to get a car to sit right is just unreal... as you can see...
Bromance :signLOL:
-
Erm.....those seats look lush!
Where the hell did you get them?
(Googles the Install Company. To my surprise I discover its in Leicester, tempted)
-
i got the seats from a good frind of mine at Revolution in Gateshead, he had them in his RS3, i bugged him for months to sell me them, they are as rare a rocking Horse SH**
You wont be dissapointed in The Install Company mate, hes such a great guy to deal with and really is one of the best in the buisness at this game....no bull...
-
They look absolutely amazing!
-
They aren't 12c seats, just a generic recaro shape that they commissioned. Any one including joe could by those, you won't mind a mckaren part number on them anywhere.
But otherwise a sweet interior!
They look exactly the same as these
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogcdn.com%2Fquebec.autoblog.com%2Fmedia%2F2013%2F03%2F46-2013-mclaren-mp4-12c-spider-fd.jpg&hash=3aac2d6318d0b7cc45c814033244e084d2266e8b)
Which are fitted to a 12c? So I think you are wrong :happy2:
-
Fair play, they must be out of an early 12c. Only they had the manual release. They weigh a lot don't they!!!!
One minute your saying "no 12c has manual seats" saying these arnt genuine then a second later your saying they do come in manual in the early one make your mind up :fighting: :signLOL:
-
Sorry for the negative press on your thread. Perhaps,it was just disbelief that you had sourced such a rare set of seats. I only work on the production line there nothing fancy.
I have the upmost respect for the amount of work and effort you have put into this.
All the best for the rest of your plans.
My apologies.

:congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
interior is slick !

As promised a few more pics :smiley:
The car was taken to Meguiars HQ yesterday, so the helpful lads could give it some magic in their booth, ready for the car to hit their stand this weekend at Early Edition.
I'm laid up at the moment and 300 miles away from the car so this was a fantastic opportunity to get the car cleaned ready for show.
Some pics:

Just read this from start to finish. I very rarely post on here but I had to tell you, as I'm sure you already know, how incredible this car is!
The transformation is amazing and such a nice colour aswell.

Thanks very much, glad you like it :happy2:

I too have just found this and read your build start to finish, i didn't think it could get any better than when you had the Porsche GT3 reps on, but it did. stunning car :happy2:

Can't wait for the wedding :smiley:

@MR02LOW (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=884) how is the Forge front brake kit for clearance? Thinking about getting them in the black Friday sale.
-
Jaw dropingly nice.. Seen tonnes of pictures for a while now and this is the first time i've actually took time to read through your thread..
Brilliant work and I love the HOK paint. Got paintwork needing repairs on mine which will be happening soon but seeing this.. its pushing me over the edge of going full respray especially now i've seen yours but then I realised... I need the funds I have for a rainy day ha.
You've definitely gone all out on everything else which is beyond epic. Would love to see you pull something just as epic in the engine department next.
-
Looks stunning in the PVW feature, you must be well proud marra.
