Begining to look like a proper GTi!!...

But now I want bigger wheels!

 

[gerard]

look good mate, how low did you go??? what did you put on???

looks pretty cool with the TT rims on.

are you going to colour code the valances???? would look good if they were painted

 

[flyfs6]

Please some more info, cheers.

I'd like to know who did the install Robin and also what ? they charged.

Looks good [!].

 

[djdobs]

Cheers guys...

Its a 110 gttdi on a T plate (Bought off the 'old dear'!). I've fitted a merc maf and lowered it by -35mm on Eibach springs. Also fitted an Alpine headunit and sub.

Marc, I had a mate fit the springs for a ton (?100) although I lended a hand cos it was taking a while to do!!

I'm def' planning to colour code the valances but cannot afford proper 4 motion ones so im thinking of getting some new standard ones and having a go at painting them myself. Does anyone know where I can get 'plastic bonder'(?) from?

Cheers, Robin

Whats a merc maf?

 

[R44MS_K]

a mass air flow meter, but a mercerdes part as opposed to a vw!!

 

[burnsyV6]

OK, must be a TDI thing then? Better airflow eh? cool (Im slowly picking the jargon up!)

 

[Rivage]

Sweet. change those side reps for silvery ones!

I wouldn't rush into coding the valences. Will look crap if they're done badly.

Bide your time and get a pro job if you must do it! Consider a spoiler instead!

Robin give me a call i have the standard valences of my gti in the shed doing nothing, can you get me a price on a boot catch, inner boot light packed up on mine now[]

 

[djdobs]

ok glen mate will do.

i'll sort it for ya

 

[smithjoe]

Whats the ride like with just the springs, age of car aswell and what milage have you done. dont know wether to go for just springs or wait for full pack.

 

[djdobs]

I'm well pleased with just the springs 'smithjoe'!!

The shock-absorbers were recently replaced by my mum just before I bought the car (6 months ago) so I didn't want to spend un-neccesary money. The car was built in 1999 and the mileage now stands at 68,000. But the car still feels like new...

The improvment in handling is incredable... especially with the TT rims (cheers Glen). The merc maf has also made the car perform like my mums pd bora. Well pleased!!

 

[glen1.8t]

a job well done[^]

 

[TDiMJ]

Nice Rob, looks better here than at work when i see it, lol, will get a pic of mine up here some time soon!

 

[chaz]

I need a new maf for my 130, could someone please explain the difference between the vw one and the merc one? Any part numbers and prices would be good too.

Hi mate iam sure that the 4 motion valances are roughly the same price as the standard ones. thats what the dealer told me when i bought mine anyway!

cheers
