2006 United Grey MKV 2.0 TDI **[Slow Build]**

[Mysticality]

TDI, manual and P-Plates?


Ironically, this afternoon I put the finishing touches on my sub/amp install. Just an el-cheapo Sony 12" in a box, and a 450W Fusion amp I got from a mate for like $50.
Plus wiring kit, all up around $200. And a lot of pain and anguish getting it all in. XD




IMO, you should forego the chrome and just go CF on all the extra bits like mirrors, etc.
Maybe its just me, but I think chrome looks super-tacky.

As far as the centre gauges go, if you're a little tech-savvy then you could just do what I did - grab Torque Pro (Android - there are iPhone equivalents, too) and run it off a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner!!



Interior lights you can get from SCA for like $5.
Don't know about the Golf, but my Octy has 4x T10 bulbs and 2x (36mm I think) festoons.

Try and find someone with a TSI intake, and give that a go on the TDI.
I've compared my engine bay (125TDI) with that of a Golf Cabrio (118TSI) and they look identical - this leads me to believe that a TSI intake will work fine... But I don't wanna lay down $1k and have it go pear shaped. XD
Pod filter won't work. It'll throw a CEL. I've already tried.


NOTE: All pics are pretty old, except for the sub.

No P's till march for me

Like the skoda

Thanks for the tips, have organised interior LEDs they will be coming in a few weeks from a fellow member.
Intake I think that you can use the end half of it but not a full intake pipe as from what I have heard it doesn't bolt on right at the start of the piping but the end will I think.
(Have found a K&N small intake with a just the last section and a K&N filter can link you if you like)

I was planing on building a nice false floor for the boot to have everything nice a neat but it wouldn't be cheap.

As for the chrome iv always thought the same thing. I'm going to do the handles and then see if I like it.. The mirrors I think will look abit much but carbon also kinda looks abit tacky but I cannot stand the pillars as there are and iv order the handles as they were cheap

[lhennessy]

***Update***

Ordered a few cheap things.

Chrome Handles, Short Antenna and Heater Dials will be sure to put some pictures up when I receive each one
