Was and Now ... My VW Evolution ...

Seriously? Can't imagine that a GTi would be that much more dearer as a 2nd hand buy than a Sports-line and considering all the money you just spent on parts to make your car look like a GTi I'm surprised you don't have the "budget". None of those parts are exactly cheap budget parts.

Front bumper was the only part I bought new, wheels, skirts, valance, hatch spoiler, Jetta grilles and GT fog surrounds are all used parts and were quite inexpensive.

looks cool man. Don't listen to those who say "just buy a GTI." You know what your budget is.

Congrats on personalizing the car quite nicely!

you talking about a NA car to a FI car though, a gti still holds it's price pretty well from what I've seen so I can understand that they were out of his budget
In regards to parts, most of what Fatherless One has bought I've bought as well and it's not as expensive as you would think, still far less than what you would be paying for a gti

Cheers BTJ,

I was worried some people were starting to exhibit a little GTI/GT/R32 snobbery lol.

Hey mk5, you car has helped keep me inspired, I just wanted to create something sporty and a little unique, it's a joy to drive

Actually Poyta's mod's were what first opened my mind to the idea of mod's, his mod's turned his GT into something very special, beautiful car.

Yeah wish I had a GT myself, but again in the same situation you were in at the start, price was out of my range
Also the fact I would've been better to keep my evo if I was chasing power
Everyone has different goals for their cars, main thing is it always brings a smile to your face when you see it

Fair enough, well done for finding all of those parts used - I certainly tried when I was doing my car and couldn't so had to pay mostly brand new prices so I know how much they can cost. Kudos to you.

A set of 18" Detroits would really set your car off I must say, more than those detroits - the shiny chrome look would go well with your front grille. May even know someone willing to sell theirs.....hint hint

Each to their own but I've always found 18" detroits too blingy, gimme 17" Denvors anyday or if I was going to go 18" I would go omanyt's..

Cheers Poyta,

I'd love some Detroits, I agree they'd set my car off, I've got to find the cash (wanna buy an iPad 3 Retina and some high end Sony headphones?)
