My Mk5 R32 ... slightly played with ;O)

[Sir_Dave]

Thought i might as well post some pictures up of the car, seems to be a few other Golf R32 owners floating around at the moment

Spec wise it has pretty much everything i think, so: DSG gearbox inc. carbon-look paddle extensions, MFD2 satnav (2012 maps), central front armrest inc. 6 cd changer, leather interior inc. Recaros, multi-function steering wheel, Highline multi-function display, cruise control, Luxury and winter packs (folding mirrors, puddle lights and low washer fluid warning), rear armrest inc. ski hatch, smokers pack, metallic paint, rear parking sensors & boot-pop mod enabled.

Modifications wise, im very much a handling man, so have given it a full suspension refresh inc. front top mounts & bearings, front ARB droplinks, ball joints, track rods, steering rack boots, Powerflex front ARB bushes/inner front wishbone bushes, Whiteline anti-lift kit & AP coilovers (essentially KW V1's with a different badge). Then added a wireless Haldex controller to get the power shuffling to the rear end that little bit quicker













Shame its my house deposit so has to go soon

Looks great but the parrot kit looks like it was fitted by a blind drunk man, spoils that lovely interior.

[Six Fiend]

That's a swivel mount iirc.

Anyway, yep, nice motor

[wackojacko]

Nice, sitting just right.

Blind drunk man lol?

Its in the usual position, but pointing at me instead of the centre of the rear seat. Makes sense to me Also replicates the iPod screen, so wanted it in line of sight, not mounted down low & out of the way.

[Manicminer]

Ah, makes sense. Just looks like a carbuncle slapped on that nice dashboard. With a satellite zit on the lower console to control it.

Are there no handsfree or ipod plugs for the standard nav unit?

Looks like a great sleeper though, very understated.

Nice looking car - how much are these now?

[heads off to classifieds for a nose about]

[GraemeB1988]

Looks nice,

The rns510 (cd player) should have a blue tooth function in it?

[Manicminer]

Meant to ask - whats the boot pop up mod?

[C.A.R.]

Nice looking car, but could do with a splash of colour, kinda looks a bit dull? If it weren't for the rear light clusters being red the car would look the same to me as it would a dog

Them seats are really nice, but again it's all black or grey

Yeah, you can get the RNS510 satnav for about £500, then another £200 of so for the VW/Fiscon Bluetooth. Or you can buy a Parrot Mki9200 for £75 on ebay and buy 2012 maps for the MFD2 satnav which i already have. I choose the latter and spent the money i saved on the suspension refresh. Priorities

Re: the stealthyness, i would have much preferred a blue one, but have got used to this now, most people just think its a 1.9 tdi which is useful/amusing in equal doses.

'Boot pop mod' is some parts from the VW/Skoda parts bin & some simple coding in VCDS. Et voila: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60nIq3Vc_U0

Forget the house, live in the car
Looks nice to me, darker colour for the wheels and would be perfect IMHO!

[Paraicj]

Nice car, great list of mods. I also think the parrot looks in the right place!

[stealthgrow]

Looks great but seats need reclining back some more

[oj121]

Didnt notice how far back the seats were!! Do you actually drive like that OP? Surely you cant drive to a safe standard lying down?
