For anyone thats a bit confused, i am talking about the silver golf with the "wannabe" MK5 GTI look
Why insult the MK5 like that ...
-
Im shocked with myself, I actually quite like that, bit smoother and loose the eyelids and that wouldnt be that bad actually as long as the rest was low and euro'd
-
That with a slight bonnet extension would actually look nice IMO
-
I agree ditch the snide brows and that woul actually look quite nice! :shocked:
-
I cant say I think it looks that bad either apart from the eyebrow lids
-
looks better than the mk5 to me :wink:
-
i think that looks stunning. love it
-
that had me for a second then
-
No people! :angry:
A lesser car than the mk5 can NOT be in any way associated with the automotive excellence that is the mk5 golf gti.

Maybe time to remove your head from up your own arse? :lipsrsealed:

The MK5 is way better than the MK4. The MK4 GTi was slower than the TDi and lets not forget top gear several weeks ago when the MK1 GTi beat it by several car lengths!

My head cant be that far up my arse when a 4th generation GTI gets beat by the 1st generation. And then when it trys to imitate a MK5, which is a return to form, which pays homage to the original, that is just taking the p1ss
-
Thats got to be a 2.0 GTI The 1.8 Turbo GTI would trounce most cars on the road.. My old 1.8turbo had a remap and i beat the guy at the bottom of my street on several occasions and he had the exact same car as you but in grey!?
-
why not try and make it look like a proper GTI, a mk2!!!!!!!!!
-
i dont get that neither . :smiley: maybe they want people to think its a mk 5 / they do the audi fronts too for the mk 3/4/5 :huh:
-

i think the proper gti is a mk1 :grin:

Thats with a remap as you said. What BHP was your 1.8T standard and with remap?
-

the mk1 was a toe in the water exercise. it worked so they built the real thing. :smiley:

Had it rolling roaded at 222bhp only other mod was air intake!
-
I think it looks wierd.
Kinda like it's got a "trendy middle management goatee".
-
lol, Mk 5 drivers unless its an R32 is just someone wanting a reliable car, if you were a dubber, you would have a mk1 or 2!!
-
I like it to be honest, except for the eye lid things.

thats 22bhp more than the standard mk5. But the mk5 can be remapped to 250-300bhp

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :smug:
He definitely should have gone for some Monza's too :rolleyes:
The eyebrows are :sick:
Like someone said earlier in the thread, a bonnet extension would have looked better.
I can't fault the guy for trying something a bit different.....and it does look better than the standard front IMO. :lipsrsealed:
*heads for MKIV proof bunker*
-
I personally think that could be a decent imitation! Just needs to finish her off ...
-
I think that looks good as well !! Well done I think !!
-
tbh, the mk3 4 and 5 are all in the wrong direction from the original golfs.
the mk1 was as has been said, a ''toe in the water'' excercise. the mk2 was the refined version.
so all this argument about insulting the mk5 by doing this toa mk4 doesnt matter, because the real argument is, why the hell hasnt the guy sold it and bought a mk2?! then used the spare cash to dump a 20vt in it? then not even a remapped tank, sorry, mk5, would even touch it...
mk5 owners - more money than sence...
all above is just my opinion...
-
all above is just my opinion...
pmsl!!! but if u dont like my opinion shove it up ure harris hehe!!! :laugh:
End of the day i can see what maxamus is saying to a point yes u can eek more power from a mk5 so what...?
its not how much u put out its how quick the car is.. i know alot of 200 bhp cars faster than 400bhp cars...
as for style.. mk2 all day baby!!!
-
Like someone said earlier in the thread, a bonnet extension would have looked better.
You know!
I thought I was gonna get cained for saying I like it, what a pleasant surprise to see most others like it too.
Havent seen that before and tbh I would do that to my own car as its different to the standard r32 front or a bolf.
-
That's really, really silly.... just why?
-
That's really, really silly.... just why?
what the kit? guess u dont like it then lol...

Since it's getting such good feed bad I might give it a shot on a mk2! :laugh:

i think the wannabe mk5 sucks. i just think it's embarrasing to be honest.
just buy a mk5 gti? or be really smart and buy a 2nd hand mk4 R32.
-
Yes because mk5 gtis are easily affordable to all!
An tom, in your sig, what have those kids seen?
-
their reflection in a shiny dub, the ugly little buggers.
-

Gary Glitter just sneaked up behind them.

So there we have 2 terrified kids, 1 shiny dub and a bloke scratching his arse!
-
This was exactly my point on the forum earlier this week...
all these god damn haters...
what about people with the low end polo who put the gti interior in it
or the people who put vr6 lumps in mk2
or the 1.8t in a mk3...
are these not in the same class of your "imitation"
i think the mod has been carried out very well apart from the brow's as has been pointed out..
mk3 owners wanting cabby front end for the mk4 look
and lets not even go through the "my cars 20 brake more than yours arguement"
And personally.. i think the mk4 shape is a much nicer shape than the mk5
lets just compare the mk4 r32 to the mk5 r32.. ok they might have tweaked it a lil but the outside doesnt make it stand out in mk5 desguise the way the mk4 does..
we could go on forever and a day...
-
Someones kicked you in the swingers this morning havent they?
-
looks good, something a little different! some good work there to get the fit right, and whats all this about a lesser car than the mk5?? you what? the build is down on the mk5! :smiley:
-
the mk5 looks like a toyota FFS!
-
what about this one for the MK3, not my cuppa tea but I do like the MK5 look.

:sick: naaaaa dont really work!
-
the first pic in the thread worked because it was quit subtle the others are far too ott
-
I think toofunky has hit it right on the head there.. that is done in a brash colour and far too plastic looking, but looking at the white one, it looks a lot more subtle and somewhat oem+
nah i aint been kicked in the nadgers it just bugs me when people rip the feck out of cars that dont look bad.. just because its "imitating" some other model.
-
i think it would look the muts nuts if the eyebrows were taken off. maybe bigger rims n a small drop.
mk 5 bumper looks awesome tho. :shocked: whoever done it is a genius. makes a nicecar even nicer. why didnt vw think of this????????

ill go with what he said... its a mod.. aint the whole point of modding your car to be different?? stand out from the crowd??? be origanal???
i think some 1 slating other peoples mods just because they have the origanal car the mod come off is g@y, get over ya self!! you dont see jetta owners commin up to golf owners saying "i cant belive you put my front end on your golf" tut you aint even got a boot, how dare you!! sounds pathetic dont it?? as is this thred...
modding is all about individuallity, i think the mk5 front on the mk4 looks good... how many have you seen on the road like that??? That is a true origanal, laying in bed all night awake thinking about it mod!
jeeezus man sort it out!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
It wouldn't be too bad if it didn't look as though it was painted on
-
I like it! I find the mk5s to be a bit too big (not that I'd say no to one!)
I reckon maybe the mk5 owners just feel they don't want to spend all that money on a car to have it copied by a 5 grand car.
-
I think that it looks pretty decent. Not as rounded as the MK5 but decent and a good attempt.
I dont really understand the arguement. Why some people feel that MK2's are better then MK5's and that blue lenses .... blah blah blah
The MK1 was the original. The MK2 we could say perfected it. Personally I like the MK2 and the only MK3 I would drive is a VR6. To me I think that VW lost the plot with the MK4.
They tried to reach into a new target market, with different styling. It was bland and underpowered. **Hides behind chair**
That does not mean that its not a good car. Some guys have syled and modded the MK4 to perfection.
With regards to my MK is faster than yours... You guys are not looking at the bigger picture.
MK1: Skin and bone. No creature comforts etc
Mk2: Creature comforts, looks, power and GTi flair.
Mk3: Different market. We want a mommies car (No offense meant). Simple styling, smooth lines and not quite up to standard with the MK2.
MK4: The final attempt at pefecting the MK3. It failed.
MK5: **Unbiased approach taken** You get everything you get in a supercar and more. Its comfortable enough for mommy to drop the kids off with and has enough power for daddy to play around with a Merc or a BM on his way back from work. It has all the MK1 and MK2 traits.
As Jeremy Clarkson (Lets not start a debate about him) said when he tested it: "Volkswagen has put the fun back into the GTi"
I really dont understand why everyone dislikes the MK5. Its an allrounder, won car of the year 2005. Is still selling like hotcakes 2 years later. The waiting list over here is 4 months. Yes it may seem overpriced.
And with regards to which car has better build.... Why does it matter? All cars have minor issues. The MK4 door handles start peeling. The MK5 radio knobs peel if you put a certain hand cream on them. Its all the same and unfortunatly the MK5 is the most expensove MK yet to be produced which is why they are releasing the MK6 (which will probably be a piece of rubbish) earlier.
Lets all just appreciate each others cars. :lipsrsealed: And dont tell me Im to serious. This is just my opinion.
Mike :smiley:
-
as a wise company once said....."some things are better left alone" they were right! the front of the recent mk5 gti looks good but also looks quite agressive, where as the mk4 as standard does not look agressive at all. the front lights on a mk4 are very curvy where as the mk5 lights have straight edges and look more agressive. so there you go. thats why this does not work. it looks well fitted but it also looks cheap. :smiley:
