My g/f said she had bought me a xmas present in 2004 a 2.0 gttdi-it came at the time with every mod possible ie full leather,6 disc and 8 speakers-the winter pack and the 17" estoril alloys..

this is the only picture i have in standard spec
The first mod

The car was only 2 months old and i changed the audio

changed the speakers to these all round

then put in a header unit.After 9 different ones i settled on this

by luck i purchased the ipod shelf of e bay for £40
Also put the alpine black bird sat nav in

Last year i purchased some geniune R32 alloys with brand new tyres for £700 of e-bay and some R32 lights
and a private number plate
i got round to getting these ORIG r32 lights fitted even thou i got them for my birthday 4 weeks ago[:DD]




bought orig r32 alloys with the tractor look




got a remap done at awesome-which transformed the car-i went back down thier to get the map tweaked but the turbo blow up on thier rollers(no fault of Awesomes)


So i was saving up like mad for some coil overs to get rid of the tractor look and got kw v1 fitted.These pictures where took straight after fitting,the kw have settled now and it is a bit lower..



After the dreaded white worm had attacked the rear badge i purchased the new 3d ones but it sticked out by 2mm which i didn't like

so i got the orig flat badge and got my mate to paint the front and back badges and i debadged it..





Then got these fitted


got high line clocks fitted thanks to Skard-not took any pics of these yet

Rolling shot of my car(thanks Chris_mk4_golf

photo taken by austin at panelcare in rochdale

Darren came to my works today and the plan was to go from this

and fit this R32 steering wheel

but then me and Darren swapped and i got this instead

Just like to thank Darren(mortygttdi) for fitting this today
After 2 long months i would like to thank TurboTrev for saving these for me until i got the cash together 19" bbs ck..my car had orig R32 alloys on..






i had my car detailed last year just before summer as the swirls in the sun light were starting to annoy me every time the sun hit my car and been pearlescent black been one of the worst colours for showing swirls etc...After a few months i stupidly rushed to get my car clean to go to a show and put some swirls in the bonnet and down the sides :stupid:
I contacted Rich after seeing pics of his car perfectly cleaned..i went up to Rich house today and this is the results





The finish Rich got on the paint work is amazing and his eye for detail is excellent..
Thank you Rich for today & it was good to meet you
i know this is a bit a marmite mod but i like it

head lights changed for the dark gti ones..

during

after


having seen a similiar post i thought i would try this little mod on my car by changing the white reverse lens to a red one out of my old light.....a small little mod but looks a lot better now
before

after

after seeing Chuffs build thread and his lcr splitter..thought it looked excellent so i fitted one to mine and also painted the calipers red and redid the dust sheilds black..the only pic i have is this one taken at the show on sat-

bought these R32 calipers of e-bay last week


then finally got them fitted today,just got the retaining clip to fit

R32 rear brakes



full miltek non res fitted






vortex front splitter








arrived thier a bit early but they got my car set up on the rollers awaiting for the arrival of Nick..he ran it as standard and it was pushing out 153bhp...then Nick mapped the car and the result is

took a 4hr drive to see Chris and get the alpine ine s900r fitted today--when Chris removed my old header unit (alpine 320 with sat nav & ipod interface) he was shocked to see how a top Company that was in sunderland had wired up and botched the install..Chris reconnect the wires and installed the new unit..the bonus bit was the buttons on my mk6 steering wheel works now as well...its a excellent bit of kit now i have got the hang of it---i went for this unit over the rns10 because i am running to amps and a sub in the boot--also averaged 56mpg so all in all a good day for me



Thanks to Richwig

cars still running fine--at r/r dayi ts running a revo standard map

well having made the disission to put myamps back in the boot and sub i wanted to put the VW symbol in the boot and i needed it cutting out of mdf but asi dont have any wood work tools i thought i would ring round a few joiners but the prices were stupid--so i looked on ebay and found this that cost £7
so in the boot

once in place and carpeted over  should look ok

The new one fitted

love the steering wheel mod.

is the highline mod the big lcd screen inbetwwen the dials? is that difficult to do?

swapping the clocks over is not difficult to do but getting the right parts is ie the clocks the slip ring and steering module

[maxitrol]

Any more updates/mods/enhancements in the pipeline?

loads Rich..full milltek and change the back valance...Daz(mortygttdi) is coming to put the blue tooth kit in so it works in the high line

after much decision making going to put a bigger turbo on

Bigger brakes...

then change the header unit

[Patch]

Just stumbled upon this thread,you've done more than i thought[Y]

[richwig83]

Your going for the fiscon? Im thinking about either getting an rns510... or getting that kenwood VW 'oem' radio with all the stuff built in!

So after what power are you aiming for?

[maxitrol]

 Cheers Patch oem+ is how i like them..

Am going for the new alpine double din header unit,its about the the price as the Kenwood i think Rich...As for power wise about 240 i hope..hopefully some thing along the lines of Rays(ard)..or may be a bit more as Ray says mine might get more power being 16v,
