What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[Deadpool]

Not late, you didnt post anything about it. Looks a lot better with the front badge on, and with the gti badge plastidipped looks better

Must've forgotten about Watercooled. Put it on other places, but missed here. Next up is new Enkei Raijins and painting the Calipers green with proper paint, not plastidip.

Thanks mate, will look far better when everything is sorted out. It's definitely on the way to looking how I want it.

As long as you're happy Deadpool, that's the main thing! I like that you've gone outside the norm and I look forward to seeing the pics when you've finished the brake calipers. I agree about getting the notch filled, would be difficult to get it done properly and at a good price.

Thanks! By itself it's around $450 including a respray. I'm trying to couple it with a body colour coding job and get a discount, but it's not going too well.

Here's the new grille paint job (Wolfsburg look) and rear spoiler with a side shot showing the Team Dynamics (VWR) rims:







I got the new grille (top and bottom sections) painted matte black, as well as the fog light housing with the corner sections colour coded grey as well as the rear spoiler fitted and painted for $440 which I thought was very reasonable. I like the Wolfsburg look, so it was a no brainer for me.

[vwmk2]

Looks good Andy.
Any reason you went for a catback that's 2.5" which is standard size?

I like the look of the downpipe though.
Wonder if it comes with gaskets bolts and such.

Yeah good question, although the standard is 2.5" the mkv exhaust restriction isn't from the pipe diameter in the cat back but rather the dump pipe and to a lesser extent the centre resonator. I will be getting the dump pipe section in the near future too.

So not so fazed that its 2.5" since the mufflers will flow better and it'll sound boss

Spoke to the guys about that - and yes it comes with all the necessary bolts. But they said you simply reuse your existing gasket, unless you wanna buy a new one of course

Today I had a new gateway installed to fix possible battery drain issue after upgrading from a RCD300 to a RCD510 on Thursday in my 2007 Golf TDi. Absolutely loving the new stereo.
Cheers.

The big screen certainly looks better than the RCD300 letter slot doesn't it!
