what would you buy ?

Post by JWatsonGti »

Hopefully picking up my gti this weekend :D and im going to have about £680 maybe a little more to spend on it. What would you guy/gals spend it on, remaps, exhaust, wheels, suspension etc etc ?

Thanks, Jake.

Id say see how the car drives then decide :)
My 1.2 TSI drives like a dream but after owning it for a year, i know what to buy.
In guessing your GTI will fly like S*** off a shovel so own it for a while, get to know the car, then decide on what to buy :)

As a happy GTI owner myself, what I'd buy really depends on which extras you have?

If you've got the Shadow Monza wheels I'd keep them as your budget won't get nicer imho.

Personally I don't think a remap is required but drive it for a bit and see what you think. Lowering makes it look good but kills the handling.

I've added a sharksfin aeriel and wind deflectors on the front windows (5 dr). and bought a personalised plate. Don't think the car needs anymore.

Enjoy

Wheels are always a personal thing.

I don't like the standard GTi wheels. I mean, they are alright, but l'd prefer something like those in the picture above.
But l wouldn't go with wider tyres, as it can ruin the balance of the car.
