mk5_tdi's build

[mk5_tdi]

Hey mate, I really like what you've done with this TDI Golf. I have a 2006 TDI DSG Comfortline and was close to upgrading to a new GTI this week. After looking at this I'am re-thinking and maybe doing some tuning upgrades as it seems like a I may be able to get a little more performance from the old Mk5 before needing to go to a MK6 GTI. That's all I really want, I little more go as the TDI 1.9 is a little slow after owning it stock for a couple of years.

This is a great post, so thanks a lot for the inspiration!

Haha no worries man, glad it has brought some inspiration to people

Wowzers. Nice shoes. Are you going to flare the guards yourself?

Just flicked through the rest of your thread (again); Where did you get your plastic bits colour coded and where do you get your bits polished?

^ in a non sexual way...

Haha

Plastic bits can be painted at any panel shop, just make sure they undercoat them as well
Originally I had parts polished by Neway wheel repairs in Heidleberg but they also repaired the gutter on the 18s
Now I've got a guy in Coburg polishing the 17 parts and will update if the results are any good (so far his prices are great at $25 lip and $10 hex)

In regards to flaring I've got a few guys I can use, thinking of just using my mate in Hallam this time
