Good job. Did you align the car after? I hope to have my GTI back soon, getting tired of this damn Ford fusion.

Re: My 09 GTI

Hey guys,

It Saturday and it's crappy out (boo with all this snow). Anyways, thought I'd share some pics since I haven't done so in awhile..so here goes.






The rubber these wheels will be going on. Just came in yesterday afternoon.


Also replaced all my interior lights to LED's, as well as my city lights. I will post some pics of that later. Should be a good summer as there's a lot of plans. Some plans are to change the rear bumper, change up the front, an exhaust/downpipe, get my lowers painted. I'm sure there's more (there always is). Hopefully it will all come through. Stay tuned...

Re: My 09 GTI

just a tease. what are they?

Just a tease man...I know it's a long tease but I may break and post a pic up later on since I can't do anything till after winter ahah

Looks great! Where do you buy those led license plate bulbs?

thanks GINCH! they're pyspeed led's sorry for the late reply

Nice croc's! Hurry up and get your catch can on already :P

I was waiting for someone to comment on those crocs...ahah they were the closest "shoe" I could find in the garage. Anyways, I did have the catch can installed and had it for maybe 800km's. I couldn't stand how it smelt after. At first I didn't mind it (I like the smell of gasoline). I wouldn't think it's healthy inhaling all that BTW how's your car going? any new mods?

Here's a pic of the catch can I never uploaded on here for some reason...




Also, got the LED's installed over the weekend. Not the greatest pictures, but it'll do for now, gotta wait for the wheels and coilovers to go in and get a shoot going (thanks JPO for the VAGCOM)

Re: My 09 GTI

Hey Guys,

Just a quick update seeing winters coming up pretty soon here,

Got some License plate LED bulbs installed. (9 LED's in 1 housing.)

up close


lights up the back pretty well haha

Also, got some OEM LED tail lights which i'll be installing tomorrow. Its gonna be a PITA but well worth it!

Passenger side


Driver side.

And last but definitely not least, my wheels came in last week. It'll be a long wait since I plan on putting them on next summer. Plus, I need to buy some tires for them. Here's a tease (car hasn't been lowered yet either, still stock height) FK's will be on after winter also. Just wanted to test fit the rears and see how it'd look.


Thanks for looking. Tell me what you think!

Re: My 09 GTI

haha love the buttons

[mylesw42]

Re: My 09 GTI

Cool, got the same can I got. The vendor I purchased from sent me wrong parts, so I haven't been able to install it yet. Hopefully I get the correct parts soon.

Re: My 09 GTI

Just got back from my vacation on the weekend and had to clean my car. Just installed some missiles, tacks and an ejected seat (I know it's crooked). Anyways, hopefully I'll be able to install the coilovers sometime this month or early next!

Here's a crappy BB pic.
