jollin Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 hi all havent really posted any pics of my mk5 on here but as the weather is nice today i thought i'd give it a good wash as it was covered in mud and shite and put a few pics up it started life as a crappy 1.4 8v cvh that i bought in july 2007 for £400it had 12 months MOT and 6 months TAX and all was looking good over the couple of years i've slowly been modifying it and this is how it is at the moment http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19184.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19185.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19186.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19187.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19188.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19189.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19190.jpg got some rs2000 skirts to go on but not done yet but i placed mine on to see what they would look like think they look good http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19191.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/19192.jpg front bumper will be replaced soon along with a smaller intercooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisxn Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hmm.. Dont wanna be harsh, but it needs a bit of work... Definately tone down the front end & sort out the paint on the bumper. Fit them skirts! and clean up the interior and you're laughin Sorry if that was insulting, just my oppinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Potentially will be a nice car and Im sure it goes very nicely!! Intercooler looks rediculous at the moment though, glad it is being swapped for something smaller. Not keen on the fully tinted rear lights either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollin Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 lol yeah still alot of work ahead of me! the intercooler was going cheap at the time so i grabbed it while i could coz all the smaller ones are quite expensive atm gonna be getting another front bumper for it hopefully this week and build it around the intercooler so its not all on show i know the front isnt looking gr8 atm but it will be soon as on bit of a tight budget lol gonna be getting the rear all done properly: flat floor and sides with a custom install and rear strut brace just gonna take time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scortpower Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) as scorted says get the auto specialist intercooler , i have the same on mine had to cut a bit of the front slam panel for the fans to fit otherwise the turbo would be touching the rad. the are a good price and got a good write up too http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/scortpower/SP_A0169.jpghttp://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/scortpower/DSCF4880.jpg Edited April 19, 2009 by scortpower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
