My Mk4 1.8 GTI
« on: 08 June 2010, 21:56 »
Hi there people!
Well my car is starting to come along nicely now so i thought i'd post a couple of pictures of how it started and how it currently looks.



This is how it looked when i bought it just over a year ago....

the mods so far

Stage 1 remap by R-TECH
Pipercross panel filter
Pioneer avh-p3100 double din head unit
Aero wipers all round
Black badges front and rear
Lowered 40mm on koni shocks and springs
18inch BBS RC Alloys
Anniversary / R32 silver interior trim
De-badging





My plans for the future are anni splitters front and rear, anni side skirts, thinking of maybe a black roof aswell.

Hope you like.....any comments good or bad please.

Martin

Hi there Just thought i'd update this on how my car is looking now!

As you can see i have now colour coded the rear bumper and also fitted a JOM Airblade lower splitter!

These pictures were taken on my most recent trip to the nurburgring!






This is a picture of the other 2 cars i went to the ring with, a 2005 Honda Civic Type R and a Dodge Ram SRT-10, 8.3Litres of pure power! Not that great round corners though!

the ring was actually pretty busy that day, all the bikers turned up as the world superbikes was on that weekend!
Somehow we met James Toseland out there and i ended up being driven round the ring by him in a tracked up suzuki swift! he can drive!

Hi all, just thought i'd update this thread as ive done a few more bits to the car!

Ive now added R32 side skirts and a genuine Anni Rear valence from a diesel which behind that is a discreet cat back non resonated milltek which i love!
Rear wiper has been totally removed which i feel smooths the rear end up a treat.

Under the bonnet ive now got a pipercross panel filter in a drilled and smoothed airbox, plus ive added a forge 007p dv.

So happy with my car at the moment, thinking about getting some wheel spacers and my windows tinted.

any feedback good or bad would be appreciated please :)

here are some up to date pictures!
