My T5.1 with a gti flavour.
« on: 26 July 2012, 23:17 »
Hey guys,

Thought I would put a few pics up of my van that I've given a twist of gti flavour. I've had 10 years of owning Golf gti's, I really wanted to own another but knew I needed to update my van for work. As a result, I felt I needed to give the van a little bit of a gti feel and look. Its not finished by any stretch of the imagination but a work in progress. I need a couple of red lines on the grill and to go lower with some GAZ coilovers. The Reimo 333 seat is going to be fitted by the end of next week.

The van was bought as a 140bhp panel van. I spec'ed with Air-Con, Tailgate, Captains Chairs, Extra Battery, Appearance Pack, Trip Computer, Fogs, Sportline Alloys.

Extras added so far-
Dynamat, Insulation, Ply and Carpet, Ply floor with Altro, Rear Speakers, Reimo 333 seat with floor rails, Side opening windows in limo tint, 12v Sockets, LED lights in the roof and tailgate, my favourite- mk6 Golf gti check fabric on the seats and a check stripe down the roof lining, finished off with a steering wheel from a mk6 Golf R (ok not a gti but close enough!!!).

Hope you like.

Looks good, although I must admit I expected some Monzas on it!  :cool:

We are looking forward to getting the rear seat so much, then its weekends away for the family for us!  :cool:

If I could get Monza's in 5x120pcd, then they would be on  :wink:

Haha, maybe some wobble bolts?  :laugh:

I thought I saw somewhere a while back about seeing Monza's in a 5x120pcd? Could that be reps though? Wouldn't be keen on that.

So pleased with the seats, found the company that supply VW with the Jakara. The conversion place did a very nice job on them.
