    So I need to change some little things here and there, so lost no time, and started ordering things.

    Here are some of those

    New Grilles for the front, went OEM and opted the GTI MKV ones like in the past





    Ordered some new indicators, cause one of them is hurt



    And also ordered a new Light switch



    Cheers

    Then it was time to fit my glossy black OZ Ultraleggeras in 8x18 ET45 fitment. After all, these wheels were initially bought for this Golf



    Yeap, much better now





    Some photos with the photographer's MK6





    And a shot of its lovely interior

    Some more info about the car.

    It is running
    -ECU Software Upgrade for some time now, had made almost 230hp back in time
    -63mm Catback Exhaust
    -Audi S3 8p FMIC InterCooler
    It also had a Cold Air Intake in the past, however it is now on stock air box. We shall see if I will do it again.


    Exterior-wise the car has had some changes too
    -CARACTERE rear wing
    -Debadged
    -Black emblems and mirrors
    -OEM GTI Side Skirts
    -OEM GTI rear valence
    -Parktronic system
    -Llumar Window Tint
    -FK Headlights with Xenon fitted in main and dipped beam

    Interior wise, pretty much stock with all the extras it came with, except for some details like carbon fiber knob, alcantara shift boot, HERTZ 3-way speaker set. In pretty good shape too, except for some defects from daily use while i didnt have it. All will be fixed though, you know me.

    started a topic My Daily Commuter • Golf MKV GT

    My Daily Commuter • Golf MKV GT

    Hello everyone. This thread is about my daily drive. It is a Golf MK5 in anthracite grey bought sometime ago and always in the family. I had it in the past for track use, however when I took over my Big Turbo Audi, some of you know in here, I let this one stay in the family, although I always liked it for me. Just bought a new A3 TDI some days ago, so this one, had to come back to my hands and become my daily commuter.

    Here are some photos taken of it. I think you will like what I will do with it.

    Started like this.



    A lot of dirt on the car and non care signs by my father







    So I gave it some TLC to change that.

    Started by debadging it for a clear rear end.






    Then a small detail..from this



    To this




    Removing unnecessary weight



    And after a detail session with the known procedures,car got some of its old dignity back.





    RS4 replicas, soon to be replaced



    Some scratches and swirls under the Golf and Gt logo.



    Nothing my sweet Kestrel can cope with - some DA love with 3M Extra Fine Compound







    Perfect!






    Then it was time to do something I had also done in the past - de-wipering the rear end










    Now we are getting somewhere
