Looks ace mate!
It really highlights just how terrible the rear if the Mk7 is.
f**k knows what they were on...

Nice mate! The wife has had a white mk5 GTi for 3 years now & loves it. As an all round car you can't get much better.
Hopefully I will be ordering a mk7 gtd in the next few months as my next company car.

She has good taste! Had mine 2.5 years now and still enjoying it!
They are ,in my opinion, the best all round car you can get.
I've had two of them, along with many other marques, and still hold this view.
Such a shame they have fucked up the styling on the mk7.

I thought the same when I first saw the Mk7 but it has really grown on me, especially the GTD!
Still not too sure on the GTi alloys & think the 19's look too big.
It's the rear. It's a complete mess upto the mk5 and mk6!
Lights are too small, it just looks like a fat blog from the rear.
Fronts ok mind.
Look great! Transformed my GTI when I put them bad boys on.

Looks great
amazing how a set of wheels can change a car, looks very nice
New wheels make the car look awesome! Wasn't a fan of the old ^

cheers lads!
well this week I replaced the majority of my bushes with powerflex poly bushes and fitted a new (standard) anti roll bar and drop links, which managed to snap both drop links. Common problem for the mk5 platform apparently. So they have been refunded and a whiteline arb and drop links are on the way!

Small update for the golf:
GTI seat pump inserts
GTI Rabbit
Tuning Developments sticker, good mates of mine who specialise in Jap tuning but can take on anything really, they have carried out all the work to my Golf and my 182 beforehand.
Nipped into Manchester on Saturday night to get an Archie's Milkshake with the gf (if you live near, go and get one!) while the car was parked in the car park I tried to get some decent shots, but the lack of skills and only having an iphone to hand didn't really help!
Currently saving up for a RCD / RNS unit so hopefully will have one fitted in the next month or so! also currently refurbing my monzas as they were covered in white worm so will get some pics up of those when i'm finished.

the rev G is the newer membrane one rather than a piston, I went for that as they hold more boost apparently.
My PVC was still working fine when I replaced it but went ahead as a precautionary measure before mapping. another thing to change is the cam follower, only around £20 and if they fail it's a big problem. worth changing for peace of mind.

Ah I must have the rev D. It'll do for now and better than what was fitted. That was leaking for sure.
Yeah same with my PCV. Makes sense to change it although mines already mapped. Oh and I have the follower. Looks like it's pretty easy to change?
Alfa GT Cloverleaf
yeah if assume the difference between the G & D is minimal the D can't split again so that's the benefit of it, however it hosts 1/2 psi less from what I've been told.
I didn't change my cam follower I just got it done while the FMIC was being fitted for ease but it looks pretty straight forward. changing the PVC is even more so.

Those wheels have massively transformed it mate. Looks superb!

Last week I managed to get my front arches approved for warranty at Lightcliffe VW Liverpool :smiley: So its booked in for a week as of the 6th while they give me a hire car... I don't think it will be a Mk7 GTI though lol.
I've also finished refurbing my Monza IIs as they were F**ked! I'm quite please with the result as it was my first ever attempt and only done with rattle cans...
They should do nicely over the winter anyway. (excuse the shite tyres, they came with the car! the pescaras are fitted with Conti's)
Also bagged myself an RCD510 and ordered a new gateway so will get these fitted as soon as they arrive!
