My Gunmetal MK5

Featured Replies

Hi guys, not really shown any new photos of my car since I last posted some in the members gallery back in september time.

Thought id take a few pictures after a wash and a wet wax, because I won't be able to for the next few days because it's forecasted to rain.

Alot of small things have changed with the car. I've gone back to standard rear lights, I've got yet another new aerial. Painted the front badge black, removed gti badges and polo badge. Added clubpolo and funny sticker. That's all that I can think of at the moment.

Only thing which lets this car down is the ride height (30mm springs) and the shitty wolfrace alloys. But coilovers will be here within a few weeks, and new wheels (hopefully d90s or teledials) in the next couple of months.

Sorry for the pic quality in some pics, i don't have an SLR, these were taken off of a 7.1 MP digi cam which I am still getting used to. The pics have also been re-sized to make them smaller, so they have lost a bit of quality.

Enjoy the pics:

Probably do have the same sidelights! Yeah the wheels are coming off mate, replacing them with some porsche ones. Coilovers within the next month aswel.

As for the colour, i originally wanted a black or silver one, didnt even know this colour existed and i just luckily came across it. It's only now I've realised how rare/sought after it is lol. Only ever seen 1 this colour in leeds, and 1 other one on this site.

not keen on wheels matey, sorry, get a nice set of dished wheels maybe ats cups and drop it :)

i know, I'm not keen either, i wrote at the top of this topic that i was getting some new ones because the ones I've got are wank lol.

Not to keen on ats cups because they seem like a winter wheel as opposed to an all rounder. Was thikning some porsche ones, but i dont know if i can be bothered faffing around with adaptors. was thinking some CUPS. RH or something like that. What do you think?

ill take them into consideration :p Ill have a budget of about 500 pounds in the end for wheels and tires. What do you reckon to ronal turbos, would say LS but they are BBS wanabe wheels IMO.

id say cups, looks at jamesb hes got cups on his pretty low looks pretty good :p

Just had a look at his car and they look nice, I just need to decide between ET 28 or 20. Obviosly id want them to stick out more but I dont want my arches rolling.

Love the colour and i wish my GTI had a digi clock instead of the analogue!

cheers mate, yeah id rather have a digi clock than a thermometre. thermometres are pointless because you either feel hot or cold? You dont need to know exactly how warm it is.

Hi,

Indy cars looking a low better than before have to say, the black grill badge looks mean! and the debagding makes a huge difference to the look.

Glad you went back the the original rear lights m8 looks so much better standard is good!!!

can't wait to see the wheels, i would suggest the Ronals LS i know a lot of people think they are just a cheap version on BBS but my ms got the on his polo they look sweet have to say, i would suggest them especially with the coilovers which you said youre getting....

Look foward for updates!!!

I was looking on eba for sidelights and came accross yours, the ones your selling lol, might do a purchase because my xenon headlight conversion looks weird with the yeallow sidelights lol

Snap on the headunit! That's the GT500, right?

Thanks mate for the comments. Because my dad bought me the car and pays tax, insurance and MOT, i am going with his choice of wheels. I asked him, ATS cups or Ronal Turbos, and he chose the turbos so thats what I think it will be. Or the LS ill have to see nearer the time.

I'm also glad I went back to the original lights, black badge on front looks wicked, but black badge on the back would look rubbish on the grey background.

The sidelights won't fit a standard mk5 headlight mate, that's why i am trying to sell them. They might fit the projectors and angel eyes though because they might have a larger housing which they slot through.

No mate its the GT310. Think the only difference might be that the GT500 has a usb port??
