I hope the pictures are viewable..... This is my
Wife Golf GTi. This is also the BEST colour for the golf, we all have different taste, but as you will agree the colour goes well with the wheels.
Now I don't wish to start a whole new thread on re-mapping.... but give me the quick, and in your oppinions, best option for mapping! (sales pitch please!)

Lovely colour - nearly as fast as Silver :wink:
APR or REVO are the remaps I'd go for. Make sure you get a before and after Rolling road done too (proves the outputs).
-
I recon I was asking the following.. Is it better to get the re map which is switchable on the cruise control or the one where you seem to plug in a box and change it from there? Also would there be any need to change back to the original settings as I do mainly town driving. I also read that MPG can go up with the right re map, could this be true?
-
How about that pitch: "But dear, with a remap you can get [whereever she usually goes] quicker."

-
Switchable through the Cruise is better IMO.
You'll not notice much difference between the two maps whilst pootling through town. The reason being that on the power curve, the remap doesn't differ significantly until you are ove 3k revs. You probably will not notice any difference in fuel consumption around town either. :nerd:
-
same as mine...
i've added coilover suspension and widened the track at the back using 12mm spacers....
also had the apr remap done.
i love it.
-
Lovely car :cool:
On the topic of remaps, my dad's thinking of remapping his GTi with Morego as they look pretty good.
Whats everyone reckon to them?
I think they can get 270 out of a non-ed30 with a Miltek and a few other bits and bats :undecided:
-
Thanks for posting the pics, I have one on order that in that colour! I think it's the best colour out of them all!
What options did you go for? (obviously the 18's from what I can tell)
-
The morego kit is £1500 ,remap miltek and camber setting giving 250bhp.Evo mag gave this kit 5 stars,also one of the best handling gtis they had driven. destroying ed30s lol.
-
nice car. Colourcode those bumpers though :sick:
-
Looks nice. Steel grey was my second choice. :wink:
I still like the Monza IIs when I see them.

I bought this GTi second hand of a M8 of mine who, luckly for me, unluky for him, could not afford to keep the car. It was registered in Feb 06 and I got the car in October of last year. He ordered it with the 18" wheels, arm rest, R**500 Sat Nav......oh and No DSG! I have just purchased a Phatnoise player (yet to be fitted) and when I do fir it I will give you all the full SP on this new toy!. I also think it has the Highline but as per a different thread I hope to fully understand this option better soon.
If any one is interested, I had one of the Original GTi golfs back in 1980 (17 yrs old) and then in 1982 I had a mental breakdown and purchased an XR3i! WTF changed it 6 months later for a GTi Mk2, the one with the Pirelli Rims! I then went down the Pug 205GTi road having firstly the 205CTi and then the 1.9GTi which was very quick in it's day. But all in all I must say that the Present Mrs GTi is by far the best car I have driven in a long while....The F355 :tongue: F360 :drool: and Aston DB9 :drool: (Old School friend of mine who now lives in the Florida) and TVR :smiley: (Old Boss) were all better but I still think this is one of the best cars on the road today :laugh:
-
I havent left a message on this and iv looked at the topic about 20 times lol....very very nice and good choice of motor...love the rims but im a bit undecided on the colour. I am sure it looks alot better in the flesh. Well Done and happy driving :smiley:
-
Lol.
Manu its the same for me. Looked at the thread so many times and now posting.
Lovely car. The best ever. Why? Cos we got one exactly like that except with the Xenons. Its a lovely colour and makes the car look chunky and classy.
In the flesh the colour is amazing, nice and deep and shiny. I like :evil:
-
I agree, fastest, toughest lookin colour :laugh:
Then again I'm more than slightly biased
-
where did you buy the phatnoise kit, i asked VW and they said no longer avail.how much was it?
-
e-bay 40 quid, but no DMS! I am now in a position where I need one and I can not find one anywhere! I did see some full VW systems on e-bay for 100 quid (sory no quid sign on my PC).
-
Absolutely stunning, well done! Love the grey, one of the best colours and I'm quite drawn to it myself.
