Stage 2+ MK5 GTI Pirelli Build Thread

[Herbi3221]

Hi all!
After a some time away from here a few things have happened,

I have sold my previous vehicle due to unforseen circumstance and I have since purchased another vehicle better suited to my project goals.

So for this project we have a MK5 GTI Pirelli Edition.

Specs are as follows:

Year: MY2009
Colour: Reflex Silver
Transmission: DSG
KMS: 146660 (As of writing this)
Doors: 5
Sunroof: No

Car seems to have been basically specced as it does not have reverse sensors or SAT NAV.

Plans for this car are to maintain an OEM+ look while being fast but not over the top.

This will include:

APR Stage 2+ ECU Tune
APR DSG Tune

Autotech HPFP upgrade
Cold air intake (Brand is undecided)
Custom 3" Stainless Steel Turbo-Back Valved exhaust with a X-Force Varex Muffler (VMKK52-300)
Lowering Springs (Brand is undecided)

RNS-510 SAT NAV Radio
9w2 Bluetooth module
Coding for turn by turn Navigation on full size MFD
DSP (For ability to setup a 10 BAND EQ on the factory radio)
12" Subwoofer in custom enclosure

Supernova Projector style LED headlights (current ones are heavily faded)
Fixing Paint (A few scratches and stone chips)
Refurbing the Wheels (minor rashing)
Paint protection film and ceramic coating as well as detailing
Reupholstering handbrake leather
Refusbishing steering wheel (Parts are scuffed and need redying)

First steps happening with the car as with any project is a full service.
In the following weeks it shall have:

Oil service (Liqui Moly and RYCO)
DSG service (Liqui Moly and RYCO)
HPFP Cam Follower
Thermostat (Is cooling down to 75c when under hard driving)
Cabin filter

All constructive criticism is welcomed as well as ideas for things that are undecided such as the CAI.

More to come soon!
