My Modified MkV (UK)

Hey

New on these boards, just thought i'd say Hi, seems like a really good portal for information and thought i'd share pics of my car.

It's not a GTI, but at the end of the week my full custom Supercharger conversion will be complete and I will be running ~210bhp from my little 1.6.:wink:

Anyway, Here are the last pics I took of her, -50mm Eibachs fitted in the pics but now she is sitting on coilovers and around -65mm:biggrin:

Any comments very much appreciated.

Looks good, how do you like that HU? Is it stable when driving around or does it shake? How do you like the Kenwood Nav?

Headunit is solid as a rock! I was expecting it to be a little flimsy also, but it really doesn't budge, very well built in my opinion!

Very impressed with the nav, i've had OEM, Pioneer and a Sony portable before I got the Kenwood and it's by far the best and most efficient I have used. User interface isn't the best, but hey- it's clear, quick and reliable so I really don't mind.:smile:

nice! i like the wheels. thats a golf gt right? if so i wish they made that here in the states. dont understand why we need a 2.5 thats slower and heavier then a nice 1.6 thats turbo/supercharged

nice looking GolF

damn, looks killer. nice

The wheels look like new RS4's..?

Looks flippin' sweet!

Very nice ride except for two things, the mini and your steering wheel is in the wrong side of your car.

your mkv is hot,,
cant wait to see its performance after the supercharher is fitted
love your wheels :thumbsup:

Very sharp...Keep us updated on the 'charge. :thumbup:

I give it a gold star. !00% man, very nice.

welcome aboard you got a beautiful golf man, cant wait to see the supercharger kit in there, see if you can get a nice video clip of that supercharger in action :thumbsup:

wow.. how much is that supercharger setting you back man?

Hey,

Thanks for the positive responses! Makes it all worth while.

Supercharger conversion is setting me back about £3800, with is about $7500 to you guys. Includes the full brake conversion also so not too bad.

Recaros are about £2500 more on top of that but I think it's definitely worthwhile.

I'll keep you updated and will be sure to post pics and possibly a couple of vids when the charger is in.:wink:

BTW, the Mini is my sisters Cooper, i'll be doing a new photoshoot with my new camera, with just my car once i've 'finished'.
