Tim's golf gti

[AusScare]

Hey all,

I thought I'd open a thread just to follow any changes I make to my gti, or any questions I need to ask in terms of maintenance, upgrades, etc.

I've ordered a silver golfball shifter from tmtuning, and plan on getting a new headunit and front speakers this weekend. Next week I hope to get the front right tire replaced so that it wears evenly with the new front left. I'll also get a quote on the front right quarter panel dent.

I've decided to put some of my spare cash towards my tiny debt for the car, but by the time I work out what I want to buy for it, I'll have had the time to save up!

Few pics to start.







Big list of every little thing that needs to be done on the car to make it perfect and any mods made:

• Blacken bumpers/plastic bits DONE
• Rewire rear speakers DONE
• Alpine headunit install DONE
• Chrome golfball gearstick DONE
• Rear window brake light DONE
• Aerial movement & reception DONE
• Lowering DONE
• Front numberplate bent DONE
• Front speakers DONE
• Rear badges loose DONE
• Timing belt cover DONE
• K&N Air Filter DONE
• VW wheel centercaps DONE
• Antenna adapter DONE
• Oil droplets leak
• Holes in front seats
• Hazard lights button replace
• Rear bumper scrapes/colour
• Front bumper scrape
• Bonnet paint chips
• Front right dint
• 15/16" wheels
• Bonnet lift kit
• Euro plates [Q MK20 Z]

Cheers
Tim

Dude that car looks great, especially the cabin.

It looks (to me) like it's sitting too high. Maybe it's an illusion with the wheels.

[evorobin]

I like those wheels but yeah they accentuate the height. Very clean GTI!

Nice mk2. The wheels are a bit much imo but they'd look fine if the car was lowered a bit. Are they 16" or 17"?

[pommy_golfer]

nice mk2 man, they look like 17s, which suit the mk2 but you gotta drop it to get the stance right.
