Hello......
Nice, welcome!
a) Chip it!
b) Brother and sister both GTIs? Impressive
c) Invite her on
dont worry i wont be bringing any of that crap to this forum. me and matt are mates... he is just a smart ass who needs to be brought back in line from time to time lol.
the next thing planned for the GTI is a new anti-roll bar for the rear. i really want to dial out that factory understeer and make try and make it as flat and tail happy as that mini!
im desperate to chip especially after driving a fellow golfmkv members car and giving it a good thrash but i currently dont have the funds for that sort of purchase
Swaybars are going onto my GTI this weekend. That with the Koni coilovers already fitted should be great. Unfortunately I have recently had to remove my BBS 18s as the tyres are shot so its back on the standards. Still, it has meant that I have been able to lower it some more!!!
I will let you know how I like my swaybars mate!

i got it from http://www.eurobadgez.com/euro_badges.html
cost bugger all and arrived pretty quick seeing as it was from the US.
also see http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showth...608#post525608 for installation instructions (skip to page 3 if you cant be bothered reading through all that pointless banter lol)
and Andrew that would be great to find out your thoughts on the rear sway bar!
im also going to tint my tail lights this week whilst im on my break to make them look like OEM r32 tails. i have seen pics of a few guys who have done it on their GTIs with great results! it sure would be a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the $380 OEM items!

I saw the results on the Mk5 forum and they look great. I bought the tint spray and did some Mk2 and 4 lenses as practice. It is very easy to go too dark though so beware. Lucky I have heaps of new Mk2 tailights here to practice on!!
I am holding off on the Mk5 at the moment. The masking job would have to be spot on I think. And 2-3 coats would be sufficient. They definately would be an improvement (especially on a red car) but if done wrong it would be a pain.
Let you know about the swaybar/s next week!!

im not planning on masking the circles. im tinting the whole thing as thats what theyre like on the 32. i too am going to practice a couple of times before starting. i dont have any spare tail lights to practice on but i have a heap of those overhead projector transparencies to use instead! i will post the results when im done. fingers crossed it comes out good
