Feel free to add pics of your own Gray Golf MKV!

[ChalkyWhite]

My five door pics can be found via my signature at the foot of this very post.

Couldn't afford/justify most options, but luvin' it all the same!

It's steel grey over here, GREY by the way. Bit like the colour of the sky over here most days :laugh:

Cheers, Chalky

[JJ-R32]

Welcome to the forum Chalky :) Hope you don't mind but I've taken teh liberty of posting pics of your beauty directly into the thread.

[Dude123]

I need a high resolution picture of the first picture in this thread. Thanks

Done. Check the wallpaper thread - http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48

[Dude123]

Thanks a lot.

[HGVT]

This gray is soo nice in the sunlight like the first pics. Looks like a metallic color?

[ChalkyWhite]

Hi HGVT, yes it is metallic. We paid about £330 GBP extra for it in the UK.

Omg! I must use the first picture in the last post as my wallpaper. JJ could you make a high-resolution picture of that beauty. Thanks!

[UnitedGrayGTI]

Those pics from Golf5GTI.net are what sold me on United Gray and the Karthoum rims. I'm using one of them as my avatar and merged 4 to use as a wallpaper. I wondered if I'd get bored of looking at the wallpaper but after 2-3 months I still love it.

:cool:

I don't like what that person has done to the VW emblem in the rear hatch.

I don't like what that person has done to the VW emblem in the rear hatch.

To my opinion the rear looks so much better without the VW Emblem in it. And I also think that of the GTI grill. It looks so much cooler and meaner without the VW and the GTI logo's

oooffff, that looks killer from the rear!

[GTI2007]

indeed, but I would clean the heck completely, not put in a handle from a Polo and would place the light covers from Kamei

[Sauceboy01]

There's a handle from a Polo on there?

we dont get the polo so i didn't even realize.

[GTI2007]

I live in Belgium, that lies next to Germany, so we get pretty much all the models of VW at the dealers. So does America gets a Jetta GLI which front looks like the Golf GTI. Here we can also buy a Jetta with the 2.0 TFSI engine but with the standard bodykit and not with the superb looking GTI front

[dunhamjr]

Just thought I would see what people thought of this combo.

[GTI2007]

It does not look that bad but to my opinion it would look so much better without those mercedes-centercaps

[JJ-R32]

Wow United Gray/Grey looks amazing with blacked out VW badge and in this lighting. Etabeta Tettsut-X wheels.

WoW! The blacked out badge is cool, but the wheels are tricked out! Maybe, a little too much.

[dunski]

I love that badge idea, but different rims.

I'm going to de-badge the grill of my GTI also. That grill looks so much nicer without the big VW-logo on it

Accel just out of curiosity who makes those rims??

[Tay2610]

^^if im not mistaken they look alot like "work" rims, and if they are i think there might be fitment issues because they are a japenese company although they do have a very extensive custom order process.

[GTI2007]

I think they are Rial Daytona Race

love the wheels!

[Horizon]

So how does the United Gray stand up to swirl marks and whatnot (waterspots, too)? Easy to keep clean like Candy White? Just wondering, since I'm probably going to have to choose between United Gray and Candy White...

These pics are nice though. I love this color.:thumbsup:

[vw4ross]

might be a dumb question, but I really can't tell.... but are those the standard silver Karthoum wheels, or the "smoked" Karthoum wheels?

Arguably easier to keep clean then Candy White, because you get raid dust rust spots on the white paint, I had that problem with my candy white TDI, you can get them out with a clay baring, but its annyoing.

That extra trim looks sweet. All color coded to the body. Looks a lot better than the standard black bits.

GTI2007 - Did you use wheel spacers on that bitch?

[GTI2007]

This ain't my GTI. I found the pics on VWFixx. It's a project there and I don't think they used spacers to mount those 19" OZ Superturismo wheels because those OZ Superturismo wheels are only 8" wide and have an ET of 48

Is that a 944?


I think United Grey is the most appealing. It isn't as flashy a the red and not as stiff as the black.
Grey is in between.

[Tay2610]

All in favor say I...................................I!

Race preped 87 924S, same engine and suspension as the 944 but about 1k lighter. Was my daily driver till i got the GTI

I really like that setup, what made you decide against the chrome lip style?
Did you take any pics with the wheels but stock suspension, I thought long and hard about aftermarket 17's but ended up just getting the stock 18's for looks because I'm not going to lower my car (pa roads are really crap)

what wheel's are those? who makes them? i fucking love them!! id prefer to get them in full flat black personally.

[nomad]

arn't those Motegi Racing LC5's in Teflon Black? how did you get them to fit? arn't they 5x100 bolt pattern? and the stock mk v is 5x112..? correct me please :) also where did you buy em from?

[feuerdog]

They are Flik FTD's, from Edgeracing.com for $99 ea.
http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showpost.php?p=919&postcount=1

They don't come in black, they come in a matt titanium(crappy finish/weird shade of gray) I bought them with the intention of painting them black.

They are light at 18lbs ea.
They are simple to clean.
They don't draw alot of attention(especially in black).
They are inexpensive to replace if needed.

I have an anti-bling kinda style. I like chrome on other peoples cars, but not my own. I've had black wheels on all of my cars since 1987.

[feuerdog]

^me like and thought of very similar setup.....exept with michelins haha

ne rubbing?

ride?

Alot firmer than stock, especially with these dampers. Not harsh, but not stock smooth either. ALOT more response/feedback/control.

Not even close to rubbing anywhere.

These are the stock Bridegstones that came with the car,....I wanted to confirm the clearances before I upsize/upgrade my tires. Because of the high torque, speedo inaccuarccies, remaining wheel gap, etc. I think I might be able to get a 245/45/17's in there(probably Bridgestone SO-3 Pole Positions). If the 245 is too close then a 235/45 will definately fit.

Once again, i'm looking for performance for the dollar, not style.

[GTI2007]

There aren't any debadged grills available. If you want a debadged grill you'll have to do it yourself exactly what the guy of that UG GTI did. He cleaned it himself using a second grill as donor.

Out of curiousity: why trade the S2000 for GTI? Until I drove a GTI I was intent on purchasing an S2000...there is still a slight chance I would. Why'd you make the switch?

I really want Red, but UG is so tempting. Even completely stock it looks good where as the Red in my opinion is a little bit lacking. Also, its a bit more subtle so it won't be such a cop magnet. :)

[VdaWg]

UG is great, my first choice was white, then red. Dealer was supposedly looking for those colors but on the day I was supposed to pick up the car they didn't even do the footwork. At first I was thinking no way, but looking back UG would've been my first choice instead of last. I'm glad I ended up with this color.

The rear end and side skirts cost me £400 to have painted, the side skirts are from the R32, £75.00 if I remember right. they come already primered and are made from different plastic to the original gti's.

Yep I should of had the front lip painted at the same time, but a couple of painters have advised against it saying its made from the wrong plastic and will chip in no time, as the front end get a fair hammering from stones and alike.

I think they are called parking assistance. When you backup and get to close to something, a proximity sensor goes off and gives you a "bing" in the cabin letting you know that you are too close. Or...it will show up on the NAV/DVD screen. BMW has this technology and others do too like DaimlerChrysler. They used it on their minivan Dodge Caravan so soccer mom's dont crush lil' kids backing up.

[Plyngntrffc]

thats what i was thinking, and also...link to where u pulled the RACED gti mkv from, please, like to know what series to watch them on

But you have... kinda... its the Evolution Motorsports (EvoMS) Car.

That exhaust is neither Remus or Milltek, I forget the name though.

[BurntGauge]

Would we generally agree that going to quad exhaust is not helpful and more of a cosmetic change (notice I didnt say cosmetic upgrade)?

It just would seem that more bends and pipes would be unnecessary

yea you're right. Extra bends, extra weight doesn't improve performance. It's simply for looks.

Question of curiosity, i agree with this taking the eblem off the car jus looks so much better, the lines show better but how the hell did he get rid of that cut in the hood where the eblem used to be or did he have to buy a new hood?

http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1445&stc=1&d=1142279225

You don't need a new hood. It just requires a ride to a decent bodyshop who fills up the hole very easy and after that paint your original hood back in the colour of the car.

You don't need a new hood. It just requires a ride to a decent bodyshop who fills up the hole very easy and after that paint your original hood back in the colour of the car.

and you also have to buy another OEM grill, cut out the emblem, then recut the new grill to fill in the hole on the old one.

[ronan]

is that a united grey from uk? same as steel geey? or totally different colour?iwant united grey for ireland but dont know if its the same as us.............can u confirm if it is ug or sg?
any other pics of ug from uk much appreciated.
ug is the only grey avail in ireland. is the others in uk?

[kirk180]

and you also have to buy another OEM grill, cut out the emblem, then recut the new grill to fill in the hole on the old one.
Correct. It's not just a matter of patching the hood in. As he said, you need to have two seperate grills to do that. It does look nice.

[2.0Tfast]

well from what u can see it looks really similiar to the gti. but maye like a frontend conversion. but yea ive heard of the polo. they are some nice cars but us americans dont get any of the good stuff always watered down crap. you europeans get all the fun toys

[hondude]

To my opinion the rear looks so much better without the VW Emblem in it. And I also think that of the GTI grill. It looks so much cooler and meaner without the VW and the GTI logo's

IMHO, it looks way too generic without the VW badges.

Keep the Badges! Let those people in the slow lane see they're being overtaken and just got passed by a VW!

I think a great alternative to that is painting the red stripe UG. I was going to do that when I was messing with my grill but couldnt find a spray can of UG in time. I just finally found one and I am getting it in a week. Here is what I am talking about:

A little late on the reponse but... I have bilstein PSS9s... I have ~1.5 finger gap front/rear which is probably around 1.7" drop or so.. didn't measure.

Changing the springs or whatever to drop your car only will affect warranty for things that are directly affected... Really suspension should have no impact on warranty except if you do springs and use stock shocks, I doubt they would warranty the shocks.

Right... that is definitely the case... the MKV "Golf" didn't show up here until MY2006 -- actually released in late-05 for GTI, mid-06 for Rabbit.
It was MY2005.5 for Jetta (actually released in late Spring 05, I believe) which was just a bit earlier than Europe IIRC... introduced at the NY Auto Show.

But back to the MKVI... I was just wondering if you were talking about the MY2009 coming out in 08?
Or are they updating to the MKVI for MY2008 or MY2008.5?
I was thinking it's too late to do that... but I don't know when your new models come out for the next year... in the US it's usually mid-summer through early fall that the next year's models come out.

The pics first need to be on your computer. Sign up for a free account at photobucket.com (which I use) or imagestation.com and upload your photos. The site will then give you image tags to post which, in text form, look something like this:

http://www.photobucket.com/yourusername/thenameofyourpic.jpg

The first 'img' in brackets doesn't have the "." in it, I have to put that there so it doesn't think I'm posting a picture.

[jimithing412]

Go to Photobucket.com. Set up an acount and upload your photo's. After you upload them it will provide you with various tags to use in posting pictures. The tag to post on here is the second one. Good luck.

[dasedotcom]

Let me know your opinions guys

Looks good. I would remove the graphics or whatever those are, but to each his own.

Oh, I used to have my front plate there, until I got massive heatsoak in the summer. Probably won't do much harm in the winter months, but in the summer, it definitely blocks the airflow to the factory front mount.

[g60_corrado_91]

^ Which coilovers are those?

[passatguy86]

B&G RS line coilovers.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/jonathanstimm/P1000272.jpg

[g60_corrado_91]

How is the comfort/control over stock?

I always said that I didn't need the adjustability of coilovers and that my cupkit would be low enough, but of course, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Those may be on my mod list in the next few years after everything else.

[TheFactor]

I bet it rides like a Caddy :wink:

[g60_corrado_91]

I bet it rides like a Caddy :wink:

Haha, seeing how my ~2" cupkit rides stiffer than stock, I can imagine going ~2.5+ inches is going to be even stiffer.

[TheFactor]

Ya for sure lol Im sure it rides nice on a smooth road and corners awsome but I wouldnt want to be on rough road . It does look wicked though .

[passatguy86]

It actually rides pretty well. I had the h&r super sport spring kit with stock shocks and the B&Gs were a definite upgrade as far as ride quality.

[g60_corrado_91]

Interesting. I'll bet a lot of it was because of the stock shocks though. Either way, that's impressive considering how low you are.

[passatguy86]

Honestly I can't remember how the stock gti rode but I took a fellow dubber on a quick ride so that he could make up his mind on what lowering kit he wanted to buy and he said it was not much rougher than stock. Sooo that being said this is a nice setup.

[g60_corrado_91]

Yeah, my cupkit isn't too much worse than stock either, but it's obviously not as low.

A lot of it depends on what tires and what size rims you're on. I have 18's with General UHP tires, for summer use. Each tire as well as rim size can make the ride harsher or softer.

Wow, those are way better than what we have in the states. WTF.

Can't pass US safety. I'm not sure if those have airbags in them or not.

Also, for the rear parking sensors, where are the controls for it? It beeps or what?

I want a lip now...

[BodegaBay]

Great looking 4-Door Kauz! Are those 19s or 18s?

The hills in the background looks like Napa, Sonoma, or Petaluma...enroute to the Marin or Sonoma coast.

Can't wait until spring so I can take my new 2008 4-Door UG to Bodega Bay from Reno.

[passatguy86]

I wish we could get those seats in the states.

[heftylefty]

I wish we could get those seats in the states.

According to Prodrive these are 5x100 PCD, how do they fit on the Golf V ?
