to those that have modded.....

[joesgti]

would you have modded your mk5, if it wasnt for this site, or other sites?

i would have still modded, maybe not to the extent that im taking the exterior but ive modded all of my previous cars ive have since i was 17 (including my first ever car, a sexy mk3 cab)

i believe others also inspire me to do things to me car, like robin with his carbon wing mirrors for example 

so what about the rest of us? did you buy the gti with no intention of modding, then you found this section  or did you buy it knowing full well that you could make an absolute animal out of it

I had no intention of doing anything to mine when I first bought it, but after frequenting this site I have a list as long as my arm with the things I would like. Shame I dont have the wallet to match!
I blame Greeny!!!

[Top Cat]

I was going to do some but my list of wants has grown and grown. I also modded my first 3 but not my last 3 

Any way the bug has bitten hard now and i just cant stop myself.

i hope your not taking the wee wee with that mk3, that is megga  and i would defo own that!!!!

I probably would have done minor cosmetic mods such as changing the bulbs, or the foot rests or such but nothing more.

I remember when I first joined this forum back in April, started reading the mkv threads and after two days, I had a hankering for Carbonio intakes and remapping.

I bought my Ed30 simply because I thought it had all the extras I would need over the standard GTI.
However, after joining this site I soon got hooked on all the wonderful things that can be done to the MK5!
Not only that, it's almost getting to a point that I can't complete a day without wondering what's going on in here and have to log on to catch up on the goss!
Sad thing is I've got the 360 in the garage but there's not much you can do to it really! (apart from drive it and wash/polish it of course!)

Etto Joe I can safely say though i am glad i dont live on your street. 

[Hurdy]

As soon as I bought the ED30 I knew it wouldn't stay stock standard.

Didn't think I'd go this far and even now I know there is more to be done

Further list of to do's is:-

Quaife
Clutch plates
Whiteline kit
Alloys
Turbo upgrade
More CF
Interior trim
Possible paint job

And some things I probably haven't thought about yet too

[MAT ed30]

i will always mod my cars and always have but i will not mod my mk2 at all no way as sometimes stock rocks

[E30M3]

Always mod my cars but the peeps on here have upped the bar of what can be done to the GTi mk5.

 Redrobin, Hurdy, Gaz, Ben , Jonny 28, Rob mk5, just to name a few have made me broke , but its worth it !

Also T_T has saved me money on not buying useless crap !
