Caddie's Black T

[Cadde GTI Turbo]

So this is my first VDub, brought it in 2011 after a long search for specifically a 5 door black turbo with low mileage, traveled half way across the country but found this lovely 1.8 Turbo with only 53K on the clock and full service history etc………….Happy days!!! 





The first thing to change was the horrible standard tail lights.
£60 off ebay……winner





Next on the list was de-badge and replace the chrome VW 



Got a little board one evening so took apart the front badge and well did this.............



Next was replacement of the side indicators for some tinted ones 




Had some extra £££ one month so money well spent and a trip down to R-Tech


Rear GT spoiler 

and BMW Arial 

Next job is to paint the calipers



up next was to make a start on the interior, really did not like to fake wood effect trim 
so got some carbon and got to work


After a bit I started having second thoughts on the carbon, kinda looked cheep so off it came.
Going for more of the R32 style but not paying stupid money for the trim.........

So I got to work and got rid of the standard CD player and got a double din touch screen with hands fee etc 




Also had a USB port and mic to mount 


Found a really nice GT front splitter on the net 



Found some nice GTI door trim


Right then started yesterday installing some ICE, was stuck at the first hurdle getting the power cable through the firewall. Had a look on this site and others for tips and I've seen people doing some very long winded methods like having to drill through the firewall, one person ran the power cable under the car and into the boot etc, WELL I removed the glove box and hey presto!!!  pointing at 12 o'clock was a rubber bung about the the size of a 2p coin. Pop it off and a nice hole into the engine bay via the pollen filter. see pic below






Time to start on the engine bay
