adrian13's RS golf TDI Build

[adrian13]

i have a gti bumper which im working on, its currently primed and needs to be sanded flat. so keen for it to go on! loving the gti front, and the springs reset give it a good drop me thinks. like your work.

Thanks jamie i think the height is pretty good i dont want to go lower cause its already scrubbing a lot so yeah dont want to create any damages to the car..and the bumpers i think were a great catch they really make a tdi look a hell of a lot more appealing compared to the bumper i have at the moment looking forward to seeing your tdi complete jamie

That's awesome man can't wait to see ! Now to get her tuned !!

[adrian13]

Thanks jamie your tdi has come a long way loving the rear thats what i was looking for at first but couldnt find one and this was a pretty good price for the rear so thought meh better than the black lower half

Purchased a tdi badge for the front grille to be mounted on the gti grille

Props on the mods.

Not sure why you're trying to make it look like something it's not. i.e. a GTI.

Spend your cash on suspension/brakes/tune and embarrass bell ends in Commodores instead

It was just a matter of time before someone mentioned the whole TDI>GTI thing. There are plenty of changes you can make to your TDI without turning it into a GTI which I will be doing to mine in the coming weeks/months. Stay tuned. Keep up the good work.

haha this exactly, like the look on a vx ss drivers face when i was nudging in front of him a few nights ago

Yeah i thought about going gti rear valance for my milltek exhaust but will be going same valance Adrian has
however wont be colour coding it

Thanks guys for the replies! No offence taken on anything i understand everyones opinions and it sounds logical...i just wanted to spice up the look of the tdi thats all i liked the look of the gti and so went for the front bumper of the gti (with slight mods like painted lower plastic lip and gloss black lower grilles) and the rear valance with an exhaust cut out for a custom 3" exhaust pipe and downpipe..i appreciate your commenta guys lets keeep this thread open to all opinions..just not nasty comments not that it has happened anyway

Tdi front grille badge should be arriving this week so yay!

Looks good

Nothing wrong with putting gti exterior stuff on it, I don't think thats trying to make it something it's not, its just making it look nicer.

Turbo diesels probably have the most performance potential of anything pplate legal, look forward to seeing what happens to this performance wise. Keep it up.

Haters gonna hate.

Haters gonna hate.

Nah... there are no haters in the diesel section, I'm sure it's all meant in the friendly manner.
