Hopefully picking up my gti this weekend 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.

I'd say wait until you have the car first

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

Here's a picture of it, hopefully works doing it off my phone
Looking to put these wheels on it if I can find a decent set

Haha ^^^ how does lowering kill the handling???

H&R 25/40 springs, whiteline rear arb, upgraded brake pads, full tank of petrol and go for a drive still have some left over...

Next move im sure you can make, its your car after all!

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.
