#1: Lukesaunders91's New Gti 180 Project Thread! UD: 23/11/12 Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:06 am ---- Well as some of you who are on my Facebook know, I've got myself a new 180 Glutton for punishment eh?..
It was previously a user on here's 'TOP206' and credit where its due he did keep it very nice indeed
So here we have it..
25K on the clock
The day I got it this is how it looked
Well as I had my old 180 bits that I could just swap over I went along and did...
Firstly was the rear brake and fog light they were white LED ones before but I prefer the standard red ones keep it the OME look ;), No pictures of this yet but you will see as we go on
Next up was Swapped the bonnet vent, front badge back to silver & wind deflectors fitted
I then decided I liked the Cupra splitter better so swapped that over too, Along with my typhoon induction kit & red engine cover:)
Little picture with my mates type R, Swapped headlights over to genuine black masked crystals, Still have morettes so can swap back if I change my mind
Well lastly I had my plate swapped over so off with the old...
And on with the new...
Thought I'd take a cheeky photo of it after work earlier too
So thats it for now, I plan to keep this pretty much as it stands now.
Just afew things such as petrol cover recoated to match alloys and just maintain and enjoy the car! Last edited by L5_UKS on Fri Nov 23, 2012 11:48 am; edited 3 times in total

Old one had 86k on it, bodywork needed a bit of work, so for what I got this for to fix the bodywork on my old one it would have cost about the same. So it was a no brainer for me really having a car with a quarter of the miles on it...

IMO it's the best looking colour for GTI180.

i was confused when i saw this as ialways thought you had a 180, but now i know, fair play it makes sense
do you plan on lowering it? i havnt lowered my hdi yet i kind of like it compared too my lowered 1.1 (looks wise)
did you sell your old alloys with the car?
#15: Re: Lukesaunders91's New Gti 180 Project Thread! *PIC HEAVY* Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:38 pm ---- No plans of lowering at current plan on leaving it just as it is pretty much bar a exhaust rubber to pick that sagging Janspeed up ;), Nope old alloys are in the garage, Put a set of standard silver ones on
