     Hello folks

    Im Stuart from Aberdeenshire and after 6 years in which I had 5 306's I came upon a rather special 55 reg Golf GT Tdi last month.

    The car is a R32 replica with the exception of the rear spoiler (on my to do list!) with full leather R32 seats too Big Smile

    Current plans are to keep it as it is, will may be get it remapped, any suggestions or recommendations for anywhere in Scotland would be great!

    Will post up some pics later on

    Thanks

     

    2005 Mk. V Golf 2.0 GT Tdi Reflex Silver

    Pretty much everything R32 exterior wise bar the lack of rear spoiler.

    R32 Front Bumper, R32 rear lights and lower bumper valance, R32 tailpipes and R32 sideskirts

    R32 18" alloys

    R32 full leather interior

    To do: R32 spoiler, Gti smoked headlights, Remap to 180

    Hey dude :)

    Seen you going about before!

    Lights at the front and spoiler definitely are your giveaways to an otherwise awesome looking mk5 :) I remember when I had the 32 front aswell, my beast was  known as the R14 :P hehe!

    How does it sound with the exhausts (what system do you have?) being a diesel? :)

    Cheers for the comments, aye im not sure on the front foglights. Im thinking of removing them and replacing the grilles where they have been cut out but previous owner has done a good job of fitting them so may just leave them.


    The rear wing is a must tho and I've a contact at Specialist Cars VW whos getting a price for it with brakelight, did you fit yours yourself?

     

    The exhaust is a standard gt  tdi backbox with the r32 tips added so just sounds the same. If that backbox ever needs replaced I'd look to fitting a Milltek setup for Gti with the centre pipes and adapt for the difference in bore size. How does yours sound? I had turriff tyres make up a system for my 306 Gti6 and I was very impressed by their work.

    Looking at badging up the rear as R20 but not found a VAG "0" in same font as the 2 yet!
