Matias' Jetta MK5 from Argentina - Build Thread

[matiasg85]

Nice work!

I don't know why they sell DSG cars without paddle shifters. Did you have to upgrade any of the other components other than the wheel to get the multi-function buttons working?

Thanks! I already had the multi function buttons in my prevoius wheel, so it was just plug & play.

And my car has MT, but the steering wheel seller sent me the one with paddle shifters by mistake

Nice work on the car, keep it up.

Hi, it's been a long time since i don't update this. Last saturday i painted the brake calipers in red, and finally put the VW OEM wheels center caps.
The car is really dirty on the pictures, had no time to wash it . I will be uploading more pictures once it's washed.

There are some more mods coming soon, keep tuned

You need to add that lower front lip to the bottom of your front bar that's fitted to all GTi's. The part you need to get is 1K08071109B9

I agree with you, but shipping to argentina for that item is about u$500, and i can not get it locally since the GT never got here.

The GT never had that part, it came standard on the GTi - this is why I added it to my GT.

Wow the new grilles look great, a huge difference, very nice.

We didn't even got the GOLF MKV here, pretty sad, huh?
