Introducing my GTI

Post by Peetje GTI »

Hi

I'm Peter, 24 years old and I come from Holland. I'm reading this forum for some weeks now, it's time to create an account and show my Polo. Some stunning looking polo's you have over there! Love the clean/smoothed bumpers, you don't see that in Holland often. My first one was a 1.6 8V 6N Milestone. Got it seriously lowered and put on some Brock B5's in 8x14 8)

Some pix:

Sold it.. but had a good reason though!
Bought a 2000 GTI :D It had a leather interior (factory) and a climatronic. It was fully standard when I bought it. Put on KW coilovers, repainted/refurbished the original BBS wheels, WOB floor mats in dark grey.

I just had to put the windmill in :lol:

Last pic @Worthersee 08.
Got a Pioneer AVIC D3 headunit with Ipod, it's perfect, no messing around with cd's and stuff! Kicker 65.2 compo's + 200W sub and 4x60 JBL amp.

But.. the most important: the wheels! The standard BBS were too narrow, it needed something wider. Came across Artec S1's, TH lines, but these were the nicest, i guess. Bought a set of wheels and refurbished them myself. Pix:

They were 8" all around. Thats too wide at the front, so i put a 1.5" lip at the front.

Fitting and checking:

And finished 8)

Still need to lower it a bit at the back and roll the front arches, the rub a bit :P

Hope you enjoy the pix!

That 6n looks so good, and so too does the GTi.

Top work. :D

I really liked the yellow with black accents. Sold it to someone from around, but he doesn't take care enough i think. Quite a shame, i do miss my 6N a bit.

Thanks guys, appreciate it :D

The filter is behind the left fog light, so it gets cold air directly!
This is the filter before i installed,I polished it myself. Took a bit of time though :roll:

Both your polos look great.

I love what you have done with the engine bay, I have never seen that done before. :D

I see you had to move the brake fluid tank to another location. Was that easy? It looks good hidden.

Keep the updates coming :)
