Janus909's Black GTi **14 Pic update - new Alloys 03/02/12**
« on: April 18, 2011, 12:40:43 pm »
Hey guys,

Pretty new to this forum, posted on the Greetings board a week back, only had the car a week :) absolutley loving it!!









Bought a few little extra's, nothing major, infact the first mod will be quite funny - will post pics.

Planning on buying these alloys, what does everyone think?

What do you expect i could get for my current 17" with good tyres?!

Cheers all, and hello again!

Welcome to the forum.  :happy2: looks tres cool.  it is difficult putting a price on 17 in monza's they dont really sell because everyone goes the other way like yourself and gets the 18in version. If the tyres are good you might get 2-300 for them, but they might take a while to sell.  :happy2:

first proper mod....woohooo! got my rear bumper and side skirts colour coordinated, really happy with the result, cost me 320 + vat which isnt too bad i guess, but got it done at a very reputable garage!

really wanna get 18" monza 2's now but just dont know where to get them from? would anyone here consider getting reps? Also have thought about tints but noone seems to have had it done after market, well not many people?!

here are pics of new bumpers, (not best light, plus iphone cam is rubbish)

Nice car and first Mod. Bought my first GTi last week and I will post soon. It's the diamond black pear with the monza 2's. Definatly worth the upgrade. Watching with interest.

Hey all, been a little while, still loving the golf - been on here loads, asking a lot of question and in turn receiving a lot of answers, so thanks to everyone.ys

Most recent upgrade has been the Monza's 18" ..... some of you may know, had a bit of a nightmare with them, got sent 3 gens and 1 rep which was not what i was promised, no one buy from this guy "Paul Mclaughlin, N. Ireland"

http://www.ilovebass.co.uk/photos/paul-mclaughlin/

you would have thought with the money he must have he'd do the right thing and refund me for the rep he sent me!

 .....anyhow getting on with things, need to try and source another original if anyone has one spare, let me know!

here at the latest pics with new alloys and their refurb (went for polished refurb)





























what does everyone think....

not sure what to do next now, thinking either stage 1 or mliltek...suggestions?
