mk5_tdi's build

[mk5_tdi]

haha thanks man

Well its been quite some time and finally got the new rear nuts for the wheels on Friday (always takes longer when your eager for things )
but alas they were put together this weekend and look stunning I even must admit myself, get some pics in the next few days; tad dark atm and artificial lighting is reflecting off wheels weirdly
Also had some new titanium tips come in as well, will also get pics of that too

For kicks I took off my rear muffler section, a few hours ago a took the car for a drive... Sounds like a huge semi when gunning it lol. However a tad loud for daily commute, but I might go a get a hotdog section made up for the rear to make it a bit louder than it is later on

Finally had a few hours of daylight after work today to give the car a wash and take few quick snaps of the rims on
Still need to get an alignment for it but will have it done probably next weekend at Centerline.
Had my new taillights come in yesterday, which I've modded to change fog light/reverse light lenses over to Aus spec. Think they look heaps better than the originals.
And also had my new stainless steel 'TDI' scuff plates, new heater control dials and my diesel geek short shifter come in today as well.
Fitted up the scuff plates and control dials within 10mins and will fit the short shifter maybe this weekend and see what the raving is about them haha

Wow. Looks awesome! Wheels are crazy. Where did you get the heater dials from?

Thanks man, very happy with how its turned out
For the heater dials i just purchased these through eBay, for $20 i thought would see how they go and although the pics don't look the best in person they lift the interior immensely, looks less dated than the old dials
Takes seriously 2mins to change them over too

Yeah me too, I couldn't find another new river blue car running these tail lights so was unsure how they turn out.
But the result speaks for itself

Installed the Dieselgeek short shifter today after work as well, must say shifting is so much easier and faster
