Hey..... mk5 gti pirelli owner as of friday :)

[pirelliscott]

Hi all,

Just a quick hello as I'm new to the forum.
I have been into vw's for a while now starting with a W Reg Polo and moving onto a MK6 Polo GTI DSG, But i am now going to be collecting a 58 Golf Pirelli as of Friday and i can not wait, took it for a test drive had a good look around and knew that it was what i wanted.
Any ideas on what i could do to it or any articles/posts I could get linked to look at would be much appreciated.
also is there any way to find out what number my pirelli is and how to get a plate for it...... not too sure if i noticed one as i was like a kid at a sweet factory.

Thanks

Scott

welcome mate the Pirelli is a great car!
other than the wheels (personal opinion)
dsg? low mileage?

and what are you looking to do? looks or performance?

performance just have a good read through r techs website and you will have a good idea of common problems and hardware restrictions ect. stage 1 remap see's you to about 300bhp straight away

looks I wouldn't do much at all maybe a Pirelli badge for the front grill if you can find one! and get the wheels cleaned and in the garage and replace them with some bbs ch or ch-r (that's what I would do!)

and get some pics up of the Pirelli!
if your on facebook join tfsi tuning and the edition 30 owners group !

hey Mitch thanks for the reply and for the time being while i get use to the car going to keep it standard. its not DSG unfortunately but i like the manual :) and around 40k on clock.

Going to look at RNS 510 install and also getting it stage 1 remapped later on and also looking at some different wheels as to replace the pirellis with the exact alloy looking at around £500 - £600 per alloy!!

just joined both them groups on Facebook this morning

Welcome to the forum,The mods I would do is slightly lower it,stage 1 map and put the h/u in as you mention.The alloys i would keep on as it defies the car as a pirelli edition

[pirelliscott]

yeah thinking about it I'm going to keep the original alloys on, will just have to be careful

This is a fair point! I've seen a Pirelli on Facebook lowered like 30mm and think it has wheel spacers. Front lipstick yellow and yellow calipers with some 4/6 pot brembos on front and that looks epic

Have a look through the 'mods' section at the top of the forum page. Soon have some ideas on what to spend your pocket money on then ;)

Picked it up today and well what can i say its absolutely amazing :) managed to get in touch with the previous owner before the garage i got it from and found out its already had stuff done to it which i was going to do.
Stage 1 remap to 330bhp
AP Coilers
Miltek exhaust with a custom downpipe from pipeworx

So all in all a very good day today to be a proud owner of a Pirelli edition and also those things already done :)

Also looking at getting a Pirelli plaque made from eBay to get put in the car as i went into VW and they said they don't do them anymore or for the edition 30 either. Does anyone know how i can find out what number it is out of the 222 (i think) that were made?

Sounds like you've got your self a nice motor, get some pics up 

With regards to the number plaque from what I have read i am lead to believe that the Pirelli wasn't numbered even though there is only 222 of them
