MK5 Golf GTI

Right thought i should start one of these as i have with every other car ive owned  

Borrowed a MK5 off someone i knew and instantly loved it, so went looking for one, spotted this on Edition38, knew the car and loved it!





Bits is already had done to the car were...
APR stage1 switchable map
S3 intercooler
R32 rear lights
Rear wiper delete with glass bung
Colour coded rear valance/side skirts and ED 30 front spoiler
De badged front grill with notch filled
8.5x19" Audi speedlines with 215/35/19 Falken 452's,15mm spacers in rear
R32 front calipers with Tarox discs all round
Intergrated boost gauge in dash vent
KW Clubsport coilovers with adjustable top mounts
Carbon slam panel
Open fog light grills

Obviously wanting to make a car your own, i knew someone selling an R32 rear bumper and custom made blueflame exhaust, few phone calls later and  



A good friend fitted the parts for me...


Really happy with it, and here is it after a clean


I love the car too bits and already looking at more little bits to make it my own, Carbon front grill, Carbon R32 rear valance, and a RNS510 if anyone knows any going cheapish  

Cheers and hope you like
Austin

Looks cracking

That looks Brilliant

The de badged front end looks mean

I usually hate the look of the front end de badged but for some reason in these photos it looks really good . 

Cheers for the comments. Hopefully more updates soon 

Not updated this for a while, not much gone on with the golf really, there was a handfree device in the dash that i bought the replacement dash panel for and have replaced.

Managed to make it to UD before the clutch started too die, a rolling shot from on the way....



Now a new lightened balanced carbon kevlar clutch and single mass flywheel in the garage waiting to go in, and will be off to the painters before EE to get it right for the show!

Also looking at getting the wheels repainted in a new colour or a possible new wheel but not sure yet what!

Looking good mate

I remember this from when a mate had this

you bought a good base

Looking good, I can see its already had a few mods done to it, the bonnet notch ect.

Looking foward to the cars future plans & wheel colour

Yeah i look forward to the future plans aswel 

Wheels are stunning, for sure dude 

I'd personally prefer a black or grey front VW badge but ETTO of course, it's certainly a good looking car

I like them but want something different 

Hopefully have some new wheels for Early Edition, but will be a suprise 
Also hopefully a carbon rear diffuser, and front grill on the way beforehand 

Another rolling shot from UD

ahhh this is so nice! love the r32 rear best thing about them ha! and the grill/filled bonnet looks great as well!
