My Black Mk5 GT SPORT! ***NEW RIMS***
« on: March 07, 2013, 10:53:12 am »
Hi all,

Brought my Golf GT TDI 170 end of January. Thought it was about time to create a project thread  :smiley:

I had a 1.6 SE FSI before this and the difference is unbelievable! Ive fallen in love  :love:

Perforance + economy = WINNER

SO

Picked the car up on the Friday and here it is after a clean on the Saturday








Oh and a de-badge aswel

The first thing i brought was my Pressed Plates and Plate surrounds - Really like these  :smiley:

Then got it lowered on Eibach Sportlines











Wanted coilovers BUT.....I live down a VERY LONG and POTHOLEY drive  :fighting: and the car is a daily for work.

Really happy with the noticeable difference in handling but not suffering with ride quality to much. It actually sits ok....obviously i would love to have it lower but still happy  :grin:

Got 15mm spacers from Andy “Banham” on here  :happy2:

Need to order longer bolts and get these on. Also need to order 12mm for the front!

Need to get some different/better photos up but will do asap
 
This is it so far....comments welcome  :smiley:

Red Rear badge inserts
PVW Sticker
DC Sticker
De-wiper
Red calipers

Ready for Elemental VW Show

Daily Dubs Easter meet


Pay day is coming up and i think im going to have to spunk out on some wheels  :scared:

Will prob need coilies as it will sit to high with the sportlines.....but we will see
I really cant decide on wheels at the moment.....0.06's, CH's, RS reps or borbet A's for something different :driver:
