I've only had the car about 5 months, got it new like this :
then an hour after collection from the dealer :
GTi grilles and "adjusted" GTi badge.
The, about 800 miles after collection i got drasticly bored with the lack of power so i decided on a remap.
I went for the ChippedUK ST3 unit :
Simmilar to the GIAG system (popular over with you)
The car has a DPF (diesel particulate filter) which is shame, because the map is a toned down version of what it could be with out it. (removal pipe and agressive remap on the way soon
)
It made, with the "Fast Road" map :
205bhp and 330ft/lbs
Not too bad for an oil burner :thumbsup: :happyanim:
I wanted the red caliper's, ala GTi, so as i have the 312mm rotors as std i set about painting them :
They look ok IMO, and i'm happy with them :
I wanted a slightly more euro look too, so i ordered a seof German style plates :
To help with the euro look, i decided upon some yellow fogs and main beam :
I'm struggeling to photo the main beam so that people can see the yellow beam but this is the best effort :
The are alittle better on main beam, less reflective glare from signs - and still provide a great illumination of the road head :thumbsup:
I've also added the auto boot, with alittle play with Vag-com, and a tweek here or there :
Also black badges :
I've also added the GTi chin spoiler insert
From :
Too :
A subtle change, but i like subtle
A re-badged on the back end, as std it looked like a std golf :
And with the badge delete :
All/any comments welcome - good or bad
I realise it'll not be to everyones taste but hey, this is only my work sh1tter lol
Future plans :
Lowered (eibahc sportline springs)
Porsche BBS GT3 rims (18's) subject to price)
Black roof + bonnet (between the swage lines)
DPF removal pipe and another remap
Black boot badge
