My Mk5 Modded So Far..............

[myhopper]

Spent yesterday giving the car a full valet, and then polishing up nice and shiny in the great weather
today was spent creating a custom grill emblem , i've used the r-line emblem down to it being an accesory line which i have started to use
also today i installed r-line fog grills, i love these and their spikes that wrap around the centre of the bumper
and i finally installed the side skirts :D

So far the car has....

Gti colour coded rear lower valance with tow cover,
concealed, removable tow bar *this is quality for household trailer use and back to great looking car afterwards,
colour coded handles,
Gti exhaust,
R32 rims 18",
R32 spolier
gti front bumper,
r-line fog grills,
R32/Gti side skirts,
xenon look 6000k bulbs,
r line custom grill emblem
r line rear badge

What i want to do next.....

OEM led rear tail lights *customised, these have to be customised as they only come from germany and will be LHD lights, so need de clipping, changing lenses over and plast-welding back together, but look awesome as im sure some of u already know,
Xenon headlamps,
fog lights
front lip/spoiler
Colour code door strips
remap ecu for better speed/economy

dont know if i should change the lower grill to r line also, i think the r line fogs look good with the honeycomb tho

i'm only gonna do the above if i dont sell the car as i fancy something different now, not a good thought!!

anyone know how i can get my twin silencers shiney again, they are a horrible black colour now, is it possible?

Hi, can you tell me where you bought your r-line fog grills from? I fancy a set myself but can't find them anywhere.:1zhelp:

Also i had the same problem with my tailpipes and have not managed to get them totally clean, but I used brillo pads to take the worst of the carbon off and then used Autoglym metal polish to bring them up a bit. Hope that helps.

k6, the r-line fogs are only available in germany, i got a german forum member to send them to me from golfmkv.com

Try autoglym or similar metal cleaner/polish. You will also need plenty of 'elbow grease' too :D

Well you posted on a public forum for opinions...

It looks gash IMO. Ride height is too high and it looks like a parts bin special of R and Gti parts. A better look would be sticking with just R or Gti parts if you must imitate another model.

R badges on a non R-car... Nooo!!

What engine is it?? Is it a 1.9TDI SE ?

[kodkod.84]

Isn't he just getting ahead of the game here and making his own Golf R-Line?

I mean there is the Passat R-Line and Tiguan R-Line, so why not a Golf R-Line.

I don't think he is trying to pass it off as an R32 though :D
