New guy.
« on: 24 May 2018, 08:14 »
Hello everyone. Im now 2 months into ownership of my brand new mk7.5 golf gti PP.

Absolutely love this car and the cabin is such a nice place to be. Massive improvement from my last golf.

I have already started on the mods with spacers and dynablink indicators and have a alot more planned.

Hi mate, I'm 3 weeks into ownership of a non PP mk7.5 GTI.

I'm also loving it, and my modding process has also already began.

I'm thinking of getting spacers for the rears, probably 10mm.

Forge 11mm spacers on rear wheels. 5mm on fronts.

I have 12mm on the front and 15mm on the back which I think looks spot on.

OK,

I think the front doesnt look too bad, but the back definitely needs something,

btw, what other mods are you planning ?

I think my next mod will be a Gloss black roof wrap, I had this done on my previous car (Leon FR) and I think it looked great.

I'm also thinking Clubsport roof spoiler, but thats a bit more involved, and I'm in two minds as to whether worth the hassle and expense....I do love it though :)

I have vwr springs coming this week hopefully. Then i will sort an exhaust out then maybe a remap next year. Im also in 2 minds over clubsport spoiler and possible maxton front lip.

I always think less is more when it comes to modding a car
