    Wait did you guys get a brown leather option over there for the interior from the factory? If so, so jealous.

        I've never been a huge fan of MKV's but this is looking very promising! Love the brown leather!

            So went to the stealership for some more shopping today, second time I am buying this thing - well worth the money for its oem quality though -nothing cheap here

            Here it is



            Along with the VW Badge



            Going artistic



            Carefully removed the GTI badge so as to modify it



            As well as the red stripe



            Removed the "I" easily with the heat gun, almost no glue residue left



            I then prepped the parts that were to be painted, the VW badge, the GT one, and the stripe



            Audi approved the whole procedure



            A hint of the colour I went with


            Time to remove this grille





            Cleaned the inner bumper part



            Stripe installed on the grille - looking good



            Badge modified too



            let's see how it came out





            Yummy, looks like a win to me



            Cheers

                So, another issue I wanted to address is to clean my leather interior a bit.

                So I got armed with this new product from Andy @ Dazzle LTd



                The results from cleaning were a bit more than impressive





                Tomorrow I want to have another pass at them to further enhance their being soft and cared after, cause I want it to stay like new



                On another note, I found a way to protect my alcantara steering wheel of my Audi, while not using it -



                hmmmm....



                LoL - works perfectly



                -dont mind the floormat, it will be changed :p:p

                Cheers

                        Oem MKV Gti, Lower middle grille installed







                        So front end, is pretty much ok for now



                        So this car, has had some suspension setups in its life

                        1. OEM GT
                        2. GT shock absorbers with 50mm HR springs
                        3. Custom Bilstein PSS with HR custom springs
                        4. OEM MKV Gti suspension as it is today.

                        I wanted it to go a bit lower, so was thinking of getting back a set of HR springs for now. Yes it would be harsh, but I wouldnt take this to the track, I knew it was a not so politically correct setup, but hey, the absorbers have lived their life by now anyway. So for the last weeks I was in the look-out for some springs, and if nothing came up, I would buy some new ones . . .

                        Until today, that I went to another garage I have, to leave some Audi parts, and saw a HR box . . . Hmmmm...Could it be . . .



                        Well yes it could. I had totally forgotten the fact that I had not sold mine, and there they were . . . gave them a quick clean, and here they are lined up





                        So happy - and learned my lesson, to check for stock first - LOL

                          So today it was time to install the H&R lowering springs with the GTI shocks.

                          Some pics of the process in the shop



                          Stock GTI springs



                          And rear H&r ones





                          Front before



                          And after



                          making some adjustments to my tastes







                          And now some befores, and some afters of the car, in the same spot

                          Before



                          After



                          Before



                          After



                          Before



                          After





                          Before



                          After



                          Before



                          After



                          Came out great, and then had quick clean with the other Audi









                          I hope you liked it too

                          Cheers

                            So, where were we. Yes. I have some more updates to show you.

                            Found a new package on my passenger's side this morning



                            I had to see what's inside it



                            yeaaaaaah, cf mirrors - whole replacement caps of course, not silly sticky covers





                            Before



                            And after





                            Again before, epic drawing, hell yeah



                            After



                            Really subtle and nice modification, I think





                            I have some more to show you



                            uploading pics later on

                            Cheers

                              So, while the car was in the family, my father had done a Xenon conversion with a 6000K kit, looking something like this





                              it was not bad at all, plus it was nice, but, being me, I wanted something different, something that had an Audi touch in it, so . . . this happened



                              And then this





                              yeap, that's more like it now, Audi's little brother is out there

                              And on another note, I had this bothering me, on the center console



                              So yes, correct guess, bought a new part from the stealership





                              I will propably wait to find a new climatronic unit, and fit them both at the same time.

                              Cheers

                                So, one of the first things I ordered for the Golf was the set of smoked side repeaters for the mirrors. However it has been a while, and they were nowhere to be found, until today, that they arrived at last.



                                Along with another box for the Audi project





                                More on that on the Audi build thread.

                                Let's see the repeaters here

                                Really nice quality and finish







                                Passenger's side first



                                Removed the crystal mount as well, no need for that



                                New and damaged one, side by side



                                Test twice, bolt once



                                All done



                                Driver's side too



                                Subtle and classy, and fresh at last





                                Cheers, more to come
