The day i picked it up, quick picture at the service station with my brothers GT

first thing i did was Team Heko wind deflectors

and a good clean

then added a second fog light loom as renault went to all the trouble of making a lens and unit but put nothing in it

then a renault sport steering wheel insert

then my mam picked me a michelin man air freshener up

Yellow calipers all round to suit the yellow Renault sport mats

door sill protectors

20mm spacers applied to the rear wheels looked ridiculous on the front so have i have two spare sets lying around

Smart so far buddy maybe de-wiper to finish the back end off :cheers:

 

[TonkaTruck]

Beautiful car!

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

cheers mate,

was thinking about it, but the back end get filthy really quick and doesn's help having diesel dust poring out aswell,

i would never be able to see, but it would look good

Fair play mate haha I didn't think of that

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Quick photoshop bit to low I think but thought I would share

 

[NFox]

Looking good mate

 

[.GAZ.]

Cracking little cars!

Some 197 wheels would look great on it.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

I wouldn't mind speed lines but they are 5 stud

So good to see someone else with a silver mk3 ph2 doing some bits and bobs to it, will be keeping an eye on this! Love the GT model aswell

I've been looking into the 45mm H&R springs for my TCE, quite a nice drop with them

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Cheers mate, I fancie springs as well but don't know if I dare go that low, don't really want to buy coil overs as they are pricey and tbh I think that car handles brilliantly as is

I am considering the eibach pro lowering springs as I've heard good things

I want to spend money on performance mainly, such as a bigger intercooler and a decat

You done much to your tce

 

[Scrooge]

Eibachs are awesome.

 

[DanSX]

Quick photoshop bit to low I think but thought I would share

That looks awesome! Doo it

 

[Cliotoby]

Needs lowered. Like this.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Is that on coilies or springs ?

 

[Cliotoby]

Coilovers, 70mm.

Worst mistake I ever made. Its fun to drive but its so impractical, £1K, plus the 20mm spacers, camber bolts and setups down the pan as theyre now damaged thanks to icy conditions. Its true what people say about them not being suitable for the road lol.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

70mm thats alot, and well over a grand for the setup thats extreme, springs for me, already got the spacers on so it wont be that bad

 

[Steven103]

Serious question, what makes it an FF GT? There isn't a GT Cup? Presumably it doesn't have the fully blown 200 chassis?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

its easier to say FF than say it has got all the major boxes on the options list ticked

 

[ILikeShinyThings]

This looks soo nice, wern't too keen on the Mk3's til i saw this, looks really good! In my opinion you shouldn't de-wiper the back because as it's debadged it might make it look a bit too empty? wiper helps break it up a bit, but having said that i might be totally wrong lol

awesome car

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

cheers

yeah i dont fancy de-wipering it either, more hassle than its worth i think

Yeah coilovers look so good on the mk3 but they're very expensive. I haven't really done anything major to mine, just silvervisions all round, wind deflectors and debadged at the rear. Gonna get those H&R springs though and get some decent pictures of it fitted soon enough! How much did you pay for those spacers if you don't mind me asking?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

i paid just over a hundered for them, but they might of come down in price i think, performancealloys.com i think was the website

 

[Alastair.]

How are you finding trhe tuning box? Ive had myne on my Audi for a couple of months now and relly like it. Low down extra torque is very nice.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

the box is great the torque is brilliant, have no worries about over taking just leave it in 6th and it pulls from 70 mph to 90mph very effortlessly, but pulls alot harder than it used to,

i would defiantly recommend one,

get nothing but grief about people giving me horror stories about them, but they dont understand im only using it while my car is under warranty, as it unplugs and no one ever knows

 

[Alastair.]

Yea, the horror storys from the people who have never had one, retards.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

yeah exactly, haha what engine you have in your audi 1.9 130 or 2.0

 

[Alastair.]

1.9, wouldnt have a 2.0.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

i have heard good things about the 1.9, my mate has the 2.0 170 in his lean fr which he cant fault either, how come you prefere the 1.9, as i am tempted by the A/S3 TDI but unsure what engine to go for

Early 2.0tdis 03-06 iirc had head issues 06-08 have injector issues but i think the dealers cover them. 1.9 pd engine is bullet proof, mynes done 122k (04plate) has never needed anything apart from routine servicing.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

ive heard of the injector problem can be around £800 to replace them if its not under there recall program

you just had to be that guy didnt you.

Unbelieveable. I looked at the title and figured it was a GT with a load of boxes ticked.

 

[gary doble]

Does it pull the caravan

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

doesnt pull skin off custard

 

[gary doble]

Should have got a sorento then

 

[gary doble]

I think it would look smart lowered

 

[j_gadd4]

Should have got a sorento then

haha, dont need to pull a caravan gary, along as it gets fishing gear in the back its worth it !

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

fitted Eibach pro lowering kit last weekend to the GT's but the front top mounts on my GT are different to the ones on my brothers so i am currently running round with 30mm off the back and mega arch gap at the front until the new set comes.


well today got some carbon wrap and decided to rap the lower bumper/splitter and the front bump strips. it was a big job just to get the bottom splitter off full bumper off and grill out which was held on by far to many clips, but personally i think it was worth it and looks great
