GTI To R32 Conversion - Build Thread

[Vins25]

dude... not to hate or anything, but you cannot hate on his wheels after installing those Jc Whitney headlights! I mean... what was wrong with the stock ones?

Hehehe your right about those headlights man:bellyroll:

The truth is here in Lebanon , the stock is GTI comes with the normal lights , not the Xenon ones , so my friend wanted some cheap xenon lights , so he got his hands on those...

I told him 3 days ago to change them , and put the old stock ones , cause they are not gonna look good on the new R32 look..:iono:

I guess he might squeeze his piggy bank a bit and buy the OEM Xenon , its worth it

Give the guy a break - they are in Lebanon - he is excited about the mods, and I bet no one in Lebanon has done what they are doing. Go hate on some other thread...

Thnx for the back up man , like I seriously don't get some of the members here , they are always trying to hate , for NOTHING:mad0259:

Anw , here in Lebanon , we always go to the dealer to get things done.. And you know the Overpriced dealers :yikes:.. The fact that we are so excited about this build is because we are doing it by ourselves for the first time , the primer the cutting the exhaust , EVERYTHING!

And its an amazing forum , so give us ur feedback and opinions:thumbup:

:word:

I don't like the headlights, but I've seen worse lol. Are you going to shave the reflectors off the rear bumper by chance?

Im gonna break those headlights tmrw morning:fighting0030: , so that everybody can sleep happy:happyanim:

As for the reflectors , I think my friend is gonna keep it as is , bur if u can get me a pic , it would be nice:headbang:

I think it looks good. The lights look like they belong on a camry but they at least upgrade the stock lights.

I think it has more to do with the thread title.

"GTI To R32 Conversion - Build Thread"

The thread title is a bit misleading. The words conversion and build really make it seem like a lot more is going on than a bumper swap. Did you honestly read the thread title and think, "Oh, this person must be upgrading their front and rear bumpers."

Just trying to clarify...

 

[gti_mk5]

actually yeah thats was my first thought but I understand what the confusion couldve been but nothing hovering over the thread title cant fix thats how i cheated into knowing what im going to read

 

[djunited]

thread title is obvious imo. who have you seen here do a vr6 and haldex swap on a gti?

Some Fixings

You know how a daily car is , few scratches here , a bump here , etc...

Well my friend decided to do some small body repairs so that the car would look clean and of course match the new painted front bumper..

Some pics:

Due to High Demands!!

Those old Headlights:barf: !!

Due To Large Demands , my friend got the OEM Xenon Headlights (2200 USD:eyebulge NEW!:thumbsup:

 

[Antagon3]

[Vins25]

I guess they are pretty expensive , but here in Lebanon our Customs tax are pretty high:S! So if we ship them , they are gonna cost the same!
