[@MartinGregory-o7k]

This is what many of us are doing on our driveways with a lot of thought and attention to detail. Great to see!

Nice motor,got a mk5 3dr gti black myself going back to stock,just removed the back lamp that should be the fog lamp but I had a clear one with a red bulb in so the back looked the Same,just needing a standard air box now as I hate my revo induction kit that’s in it,have a BOV adaptor(forge one) for a K03 if ya want it just sits in the draw collecting dust,just subbed

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

Thank you for the comment. Is there a particular reason you are returning your GTI back to stock? Also my GTI has a K04 turbo so i dont believe an adaptor is needed. Thank you for the offer though👊🏿

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Love your car looking really good It’s a great example I’m the same I love improving and looking after my car. Keeping it OEM as well Thank you

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

@jonathonbrett-qn1ic thank you for the kind comments mate.

Use a heat gun to bring the grill back to life then some plastic trim treatment

[@andydunn1878]

Looking good 👍🏻 they look better with the open foglight grills instead of the blanks.

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

Thank you mate. Funny you should mention those open fog light grills, I did considered them. Are they aftermarket only?

[@andydunn1878]

The ones on ebay are mostly aftermarket. I have them on mine.

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

Besides looking cool, do you think they aid with temps?

[@andydunn1878]

@@aguycalledjoe7802 not sure, they must do something to help.

[@FirstAndLastName729]

Hey mate, there may be other options to improve the honeycomb grilles at the front, rather than just replacing. Not sure what plastic restoration products you have in the UK or if simply painting will look better and be cheaper! If you go with paint, look into gloss black. makes the front really pop and modernizes the car imo. I'd recommended changing the badge too (I like the silver). Eager to see your next vid! Keep it up.

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

Thank you so much for the advice, much appreciated🙏🏿. Keep watching because I have so much more planned for the car🙂

It was easyer for bodyshop to paint the valence not mounted on the car in my opinion...it will look good...i have a pirelli ed but i want to fit r32 valence 😂

[@aguycalledjoe7802]

@Ktalynoo yes your probably right about the rear valance, I was so eager to get the bits on the car I didn't think😂. I have seen quite a few cars with the R32 valance & I think they look pretty cool. Good choice🙂.
