This is what many of us are doing on our driveways with a lot of thought and attention to detail. Great to see!
@user-ot1sh3mi2t my neighbours do not understand why I am working on my car this much🤣.
@@aguycalledjoe7802 But we do!
Gud vid
Nice one👍🏿
Nice motor,got a mk5 3dr gti black myself going back to stock,just removed the back lamp that should be the fog lamp but I had a clear one with a red bulb in so the back looked the Same,just needing a standard air box now as I hate my revo induction kit that’s in it,have a BOV adaptor(forge one) for a K03 if ya want it just sits in the draw collecting dust,just subbed
Thank you for the comment. Is there a particular reason you are returning your GTI back to stock? Also my GTI has a K04 turbo so i dont believe an adaptor is needed. Thank you for the offer though👊🏿
Subscribed hope ur channel grows
Love your car looking really good
It’s a great example
I’m the same I love improving and looking after my car. Keeping it OEM as well
Thank you
@jonathonbrett-qn1ic thank you for the kind comments mate.
Use a heat gun to bring the grill back to life then some plastic trim treatment
Hey mate, there may be other options to improve the honeycomb grilles at the front, rather than just replacing. Not sure what plastic restoration products you have in the UK or if simply painting will look better and be cheaper!
If you go with paint, look into gloss black. makes the front really pop and modernizes the car imo. I'd recommended changing the badge too (I like the silver).
Eager to see your next vid! Keep it up.
Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated🙏🏿. Keep watching because I have so much more planned for the car🙂
Looking good 👍🏻 they look better with the open foglight grills instead of the blanks.
Thank you mate. Funny you should mention those open fog light grills, I did considered them. Are they aftermarket only?
The ones on ebay are mostly aftermarket. I have them on mine.
Besides looking cool, do you think they aid with temps?
@@aguycalledjoe7802 not sure, they must do something to help.
New subscriber here, will you be tuning the engine such as remapping?
@JustSendMeLocation yes a bit of tuning has already started on this car. Check the link below👇🏿

It was easyer for bodyshop to paint the valence not mounted on the car in my opinion...it will look good...i have a pirelli ed but i want to fit r32 valence 😂
@Ktalynoo yes your probably right about the rear valance, I was so eager to get the bits on the car I didn't think😂. I have seen quite a few cars with the R32 valance & I think they look pretty cool. Good choice🙂.
Google a guy called pokchop tekken player. You look like his identical twin in the thumbnail.
