What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[Fatherless One]

Is that a GT? have you lowered it at all?
What have you done to the exhaust

GT/GTI I wish

It's a Sportline so sits lower than a Trendline or a Comfortline.

I've added standard GTI Denver wheels and a GTI valance, the exhausts now come straight out rather than curving down as were factory with the original valance, my GTI hatch spoiler goes on this weekend.

I know, I should have bought a GTI but I didn't have the budget and the mods so far have been quite reasonable.

I've also fitted GTI side skirts, these are inexpensive from VW and add instant sportiness (is that a word?).

Ultimately I'm going for a sportier look (GTI styling in my case).

With regards the exhaust, I wanted tips that filled the GTI valances exhaust opening well, I think I've achieved this.

Hehe nice, it looks mighty fine!
How did you get the sideskirts for cheap?
When i enquired about the parts i was quoted around $300, im not sure if thats what you considered cheap

Thanks vraptor

I thought they were cheap compared to the price of the rear valance or GTI front bumper from VW.

I hind sight I should have bought them new from VW, the skirts I bought were advertised as "brand new with all fittings ready to fit" by the seller, when I received them not only were they obviously removed from a previous owners car but one skirt was cracked and the four mounting brackets which are needed to fit weren't included, theses brackets were $20.00 each from my local VW dealer.

All up cost me as much as new would have been, oh well, lesson learned, ask more questions before buying.

On a more positive note the rear valance and hatch spoiler sellers were brilliant, no problems or complications what so ever.

The last exterior mod (front bumper) will be done next week

Damn you actually bought those off Rob? That guy is a twat!

Could have been me, I was going to buy them and then he never stopped messaging me for about a week afterwards.

how did the fk's go?
I'm thinking of getting them after i paint my gti valance and get mufflerectomied.

My rear skirt came for the Jetta today (thanks lowtdi). With the springs going on Saturday I need to find time to get the skirt painted now.

Plus car is getting a full inside and out detail next Saturday. Car will be looking pretty schmick in a for nights time.

Haha 'mufflerectomied' love it. Really good coilovers are in. Hard to tell how good they are until I take them for a good drive as my area is really bumpy! Had a bit of inner guard work to do on the rear too. But I think it's all sorted now.

Getting the rear valance quoted this week too.

Should upload some picks of it lowered. I think I'm gonna start a build thread to document what I've done thus far.

No, not Rob, the member I bought them from originally bought them from Rob I believe.

Hehe kind of beats buying an OEM front valance with lip that doesnt fit my car, yet fits everyone elses, never got an answer to that
