My DaiLy_ProJecT • Golf MKV GT

[mgpdoc]

So, some more updates on the DaiLy ProJect

Got some more new stuff from the dealership



Rear Reading Light





And then finally, the B-Pillars are here







Can you see the colour difference ? The OEM headliner on GTi/R32 is not black, it is anthracite



I took one of them to my trim shop, and discussed our options on the material we will cover the fabric parts with . . . I am between oem black material, and . . . . . some alcantara options . . . . we shall see

I then started removing some headliner parts



But it was dark, so thought I'd leave it for tomorrow



more to come, cheers

Excited to see how this turns out, was one click away to order parts for new headliner myself

 

[Elliott]

I did my roof and other parts in alcantara. Best choice I ever made. The quality it adds is second to none.

I always forget that in here you havent seen my Audi build thread

So in the Audi, italian alcantara is around the following parts

-dash
-glovebox
-headliner
-pillars
-tillett racing seats
-doorcards
-center console
-roll-cage

Need i say more ?
I agree hehe

So, a lot of things have happened in the past few days in the daily project.

First of all, after a lot of time, this showed up







Then I started removing parts





Moving at the back





Out it had to go





Before



After



Before

Then it was time for some fresh rubber. Opted for something not completely racing, but not normal boring either.





Mounted on the wheels



Love the fitment



I was very pleased with the result

Cheers, more to come ​

 

[Elliott]

I use those Tyres. Great choice, great price!

 

[Rtbrunelle]

I love how youre turbo sits in the front like that. Mine is tucked away in the rear.

 

[Fanaki]

^It's because it's the 1.4lt twin charge engine

Oh la la I have a chair

 

[mgpdoc]

Some more work was done in the daily



Out it went, to give me access at the back



Random pics of the removing process









Then the sunroof drawer had to come out - what a pain in the ass







Out it went finally



These will be cleaned



Hello roof





And here is a teaser of what I have in mind



Stay tuned, more to come ​

 

[Elliott]

Exciting to see it.
Tell me you have a Evo as mean as the Audi? I notice you have the flag hanging up? If this is so please share.

 

[Heijden]

Very nice oem build..i like it..

 

[jbkoopa]

Wow dude your MKV is fantastic. And I'm in love with your exhaust, it looks beast! Which is it? Or is it custom lol

 

[mgpdoc]

Okay, lots of progress and changes have happened here, but here is a teaser for now

Cheers

So here is a proper update . . .

First of all, I was coming home the other day, and after I locked the car and was heading home, I notice some coolant-look-alike liquid on my grille.
Sadly it was coolant. The upper nipple of the coolant expansion tank had broken on its own after the years, and coolant was everywhere. Luckily I managed to to do a quick fix on my own, mostly MacGyver stuff, and it held for two more days until i could leave the hospital to get the new one from the stealership.

Here it is, installed all nice and clear now





Lowered it some more



It hasnt settled in this pic, went even lower afterwards. Feels great on the road

Then some pics from the trim shop, random ones

















Then some more new stuff from the stealership

SunRoof Switch



Not a bad way to spend almost 80euros for this little piece of sh*t



New GTi/R32 Sunvisor - one more to go to complete the puzzle



Mirror looking good



Power connector ready to go




Also these came in for the RS4PRA Project







And new hardware for the headliner installation when everything is ready to go back in



Cheers guys ​

 

[mgpdoc]

Roof Done now holes have to be opened







Parts ready , and couldnt be happier with how they came out





And some close-ups







art . . . .





Cheers
