Picking up my car 2moro, but a bit unhappy :(

[C4]

Hi everyone,

OK so the 6 day wait is over and im picking up my purchase 2moro. As some of you may know last week I bought a MK5 GTI in silver 2 door, dsg, lowish mileage...

Today i went to the VW dealer to finalise a few things then went into the forecourt to ogle my pride and joy to-be when i saw a nice white GTI ED30... it was stunning, the colur coded bumpers, the wheels, the horse power... the everything! but it didn't stop there, i saw behind the big iron gates of the strictly no entry zone an even sexier MK5...

It had Oettinger (i think thats how it was spelt) on the front bumper, side skirts and even the hude wheels! they look like 19"er's but probably are 18"s. at closer inspection i saw it had a huge carbon fibre front splitter and i cannot emphasize how awesome the awesome-ness was...

I went back to looking at my vehicle and... well, felt a bit gutted, with the black bumpers, the exhaust-fume-backened exhaust tips and little 17" wheels. Looking up info on the oettinger version i read that they come with either stage 1 or stage 2 setups, both of which are horse power crazy.

my car has heated FABRIC seats, BLACK bumpers, slightly scuffed alloys and a basic headunit... 6 days ago that looked pretty awesome to me, but in the forecourt today it looked like a bag of greasy chips on a park bench...

cheer me up please

Oh my... im looking at the prices on their website and just the front bumper, including carbon fibre splitter and mounting set foglamps is about 1000 Euro's... not painted!

Start saving mate, start saving 
Some people mortgage their houses to fund these mods

As soon as u get in your ED30 and put your foot down you won't care about it. trust me.

mines not the ED30, its the GTI turbo 200 bhp... oh man now i feel even worse lol

sorry i didn't type it very clear, i went to the dealer to see my car, but spotted an ed30 which looked real nice, but then saw an even nicer one, the Oettinger one

dont worry about it mate, you haave the same basic car, just alot cheaper, you can easily mod the crap out of your car and do it your self, instead of buying a already done one! also a re-map will see the same power (if not more) than a std ed30. also you can get splitters for reasonable price that will make the front look alot better than the otteinnger one, check out my projet for some ideas.

thanks dude, i feel a little bit better 

gonna check out your project...

ok now i feel a ton better after checking out your car, but did you spend a fortune getting it lookin so good? it looks mad sexy after being lowered! must handle well i bet 

Im not too good with fitting things myself so i will probably have to pay for someone to fit any mods i get... I wouldn't mind getting a new exhaust as the one on mine looks pretty "weathered". But I dont want any sound coming from the exhaust, i prefer it to sound pretty quiet or standard... any ideas on a nice near-silent exhaust/backbox? not really wanting a factory one though cos I think they'll charge a fortune, where as if i get an aftermatket one it will probably be the same price only better quality, thanks

you can pic up catback resonated (quiet) milltek exhausts for around 300quid from ebay! they are slightly bigger, and say milltek on them. theres sooooooooo many things you can do to your car for a reasonable price, especially if you keep your eye out for things.
