INTRODUCTION
This will be my build thread which i have on a local forum but letting you guys see my progress. I own a 2009 VW Golf GTI Pirelli Edition in Black Magic Pearl.
Came factory fitted with
- RNS510 unit,
- Rear parking sensors, and
- K04 turbo
The GTI was my choice of car after getting a taste of driving my cousins Jetta TFSI with the same engine. The turbo rush and torque took me away so i was set on one. I then found out that VW was releasing the Pirelli variant which would be a limited edition model and only 400-500 available. The seats kind of turned me off but once i sat in them, they were very supportive and moreso then the regular GTI's. Another aspect was the already colour coded kit which would have saved me later on down the track if i decided on the normal GTI. But the biggest plus was the K04 turbo (also found in the Audi S3 and TTS) which after doing much research, had alot more potential and since i was looking into modifying it, this was the perfect choice.
This is my beast stock:
