My UK MK5 GT 170 Diesel ....

[NotNormal]

I've only had the car about 5 months, got it new like this :

then an hour after collection from the dealer :

GTi grilles and "adjusted" GTi badge.

The, about 800 miles after collection i got drasticly bored with the lack of power so i decided on a remap.
I went for the ChippedUK ST3 unit :

Simmilar to the GIAG system (popular over with you)

The car has a DPF (diesel particulate filter) which is shame, because the map is a toned down version of what it could be with out it. (removal pipe and agressive remap on the way soon :wink: )

It made, with the "Fast Road" map :

205bhp and 330ft/lbs

Not too bad for an oil burner :thumbsup: :happyanim:

I wanted the red caliper's, ala GTi, so as i have the 312mm rotors as std i set about painting them :

They look ok IMO, and i'm happy with them :

I wanted a slightly more euro look too, so i ordered a seof German style plates :

To help with the euro look, i decided upon some yellow fogs and main beam :

I'm struggeling to photo the main beam so that people can see the yellow beam but this is the best effort :

The are alittle better on main beam, less reflective glare from signs - and still provide a great illumination of the road head :thumbsup:

I've also added the auto boot, with alittle play with Vag-com, and a tweek here or there :



Also black badges :

I've also added the GTi chin spoiler insert
From :

Too :

A subtle change, but i like subtle

A re-badged on the back end, as std it looked like a std golf :

And with the badge delete :

All/any comments welcome - good or bad

I realise it'll not be to everyones taste but hey, this is only my work sh1tter lol


Future plans :

Lowered (eibahc sportline springs)
Porsche BBS GT3 rims (18's) subject to price)
Black roof + bonnet (between the swage lines)
DPF removal pipe and another remap
Black boot badge

Good job, fella!

Like your approach to the mods - they look great.

Look forward to updates :thumbsup:

BTW When you added the front lip, you ordered only the GTI lip and fixed it to the GT valence? I understand the GT and GTI valences are different.

I've wanted to do exactly that mod, but keep getting talked out of it by folks who say the lip won't fit the GT's valence. So what's the scoop on this? :iono:

I had to cut the 5 slots inthe GT valance to fit the GTi insert - other than that it fits straight on :thumbsup:

sweet. great progress

Thanks

Been playing with Vag-Com, changed afew things here and there :

Also activated the alarm arm and disarm blip noise - quite handy TBH

Deactivated the seat belt warning noise

Also painted the front and rear VW badges black (alot of coats too)

Will be more soon all going well - got a DPF removal pipe (diesel particulate filter)removes 85% of soot outta the exhaust) so when fitted and remapped again i should be seeing 250bhp and 360ft/lbs:happyanim:

 

[Psy GTI]

tasteful GT

 

[BlueWabbit]

That is really cool. You'll basically be a stage I GTI with a shit ton of more torque.

 

[BlaineWasHere]

Awesome!

 

[JRH0558]

Very nice indeed!
I just picked up my 09 GTI.
I would have loved to have a TDI, but not available here.
