Tornado Red Mk7.5 GTI Performance Pack

[Willy599]

Jack Pad kit fitted, exhaust on and a quick wash as it hasn't been done it nearly 4 weeks. Also sprayed some Bilt Hamber Dynax on the rear suspension while doing the exhaust.

@Ruairi83 I'll need to work out how to post a sound clip, it's quite subtle in video form but nice and sporty in person.

Cracking looking car , nice mods

My Osram black edition dynamic indicators arrived today as there was a deal on them on Amazon for 50% off and I dislike the aliexpress versions, so fitted them while waiting for the sun to go down so I can wash the car. Ties in a little more with the black mirror caps.

Got a pair of underseat drawers during the week as my glovebox is rammed with stuff, and fitted them after work today, help to fill the gap under the seats anyway.

Flip. I forgot all about underseat drawers and just how handy they were!

 

[Boydie]

Makes the seats look complete IMO but now annoyingly difficult to clean under lol

They were very quickly filled with microfibres and empty sunglasses case, didn't even get to put a stash of Kinder Hippos in them!

I was hoping to make them easier to clean by not seeing the mess lol
Nothing exciting today, just had its 4th oil change at 16k miles and had a slow puncture repaired.

Decided to keep the belvederes for another year as a deal fell through for a set of BBS', fired them on the other week just in time for the weather change and retained the 12/15mm spacers on them, added a layer of Gyeon Rim to the alloys & calibers while I was at it.

Tidied up the engine bay from all the leaves building up in the scuttle

And got four new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S put on the Brescias, they got a few scratches to the diamond cut during fitting but luckily came out bit with a bit of polish.

 

[Willy599]

Got a chance to give the car a quick once over today to get the salt off it.

 

[Toeman]

Looking well will

 

[Willy599]

Looking well will

Thanks David, did you ever look further into an exhaust for your own?

 

[Ruairi83]

Absolutely amazing. Some shine! I put a scorpion decat and cobra res delete and the sounds is unreal. Can send a sound clip if you like. Didn’t want to fork out over £1k for a full system. This was just 1/3 of price with eBay shopping!

I did a rain dance today and it started just as I finished drying the car. Front end still needs to be ceramic coated but I'll just wait until spring at this point.
Also fitted a TCR rear spoiler a while ago along with fresh rear brake pads, and ordered a couple little miscellaneous bits for it.

Seems to be beading well enough!!

 

[Willy599]

@Rigger I don't think I can take any credit for the front end, I think that's just the PPF from Complete Car Care.

What about your floor matts where did you source these mate.

My front ones are WeatherTech I bought them about 4 years ago for my GTD and kept them, the prices have gone a bit crazy (more than doubled in price) on them now where I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you're really looking to protect the inside from heavy mud.

The red edged ones are not longer made, but mk8 golf ones are the same fitment just without a Gti badge, you can get them here VW Golf MK8 UK RHD full set of front & rear carpet mats black with red trim New Genuine
