M4RK0's FSI Pacific

[M4RK0]

Hi Guys!,

It seems that I'm the only one so far..

This is my loved car....

Current mod's

Hella Dynabeams Headlights.
Hella Tails Led.
Phillips HID on Fogs.
VW OEM iPod connector.
APR Catback 3".
GTI Rear Bumper.

My future mod's, I know there's not much to do with the engine because my car is not a turbo, supercharged or V6, but for sure the exterior can be a nice ride for show,

-A set of Yokohama Advan wheels in 18" with H&R or Eibach kit.
-Bits inside like the Navigation head unit, Pedals, Dash Inserts, etc.

And the pics

Natural an hour after from the dealer

Hey Thor!
Nice car
:)

[scotty1991]

Not the only one, i have a FSI pacific too
Id suggest also removing the badges (except the VW one) off the rear hatch, looks a lot cleaner

[Frenchie]

Lots of potential Thor ! Look foward seeing your car's transformation.

Sure, but i didnt do my install myself

[M4RK0]

Hi!

Well, at last I've installed the Exhaust and the Rear Bumper!,

I want to thank to Derek as always is looking after us, and 10D for pointing me on the right direction!

I had to change my rear bumper because the stock one doesn't have the pipes exits, then I got the APR 3" catback, but ohhhhhhh!! a bump...surprise!, my pipes are smaller that the MKV GTI (2"), so, I needed an special adaptor to install the APR,

Once installed I love it, the sound is not loud but sporty, not much gain of power because of the bottle neck on the pipes and that my car is not a turbo, but the gear changing it feels more relieved, I don't need to rev the car much to have power on the first gear,

Ok, no more talking and more pics!...

Done!, I love it, please make me any comments, sorry about the dirty bumper, but there was a lot of touching going on,

With this, my plans have changed, this is the last mod to my car, I'll concentrate into my future car,

Cheers! hope you guys like it,

[Cam]

Nice Thor!
Are you coming to the meet tonight? Would love to hear the exhaust
:)

GTI bumper looks good too.

[S&H]

Looking good bro!

[M4RK0]

Thanks Cam,

Sure, I'll be there, :)

It's amazing how just a plactic thing changes the look!

[Jig]

Looks good there Marco. Very clean and unmolested MKV.

[Paul_OH]

Great looking car, very different to the GTIs and R32s - They're almost becoming run of the mill Lol!

Thanks Jose, It will be better with an ABT supercharger! LOL!

Thanks Paul,

It's really hard to find body parts, because all it's been made of for GTI's and R32, and even when I tried to use some of them, they won't fit, anyway I'm more than happy, and this car is on it's way to be replaced,

Cheers!

[M4RK0]

Looking good bro!

Thanks Bro!, you know what is next!!!!!

[M4RK0]

Well, after a hard day of paint work treatment, I'm very happy with the result on my car, all by hand! :)

Thanks to Dave from Reflect Effect for all the advise, the scratch did came off!!! :)

My steps were,

1.-Wash the car with shampoo with 2 or 3 rinses so no shampoo will be on the paint,
2.-With 1 litre of water and 2 caps of shampoo in an spray applier container to clean the paint with Clay to get the paint smooth again and free from any contamiants, piece by piece I took my time, some of them like the from and back bumper took me more than one application,
3.-Apply the Polish to remove any scratches or marks off the paint,
4.-Apply the Wax, and let it rest for 1/2 hour and then remove it with a new microfibre, to get the colour and pearl effect pop!,
5.-At the end Polish my headlights,

I have to say that no even the day that picked the car from the dealer looked that shiny, I'm very, very happy with my results,

Here they are some pics,

I like how your car is coming along! Seen your car around and noticed it because not many other people have Dynabeams. Do you live around Burwood?

I've seen your car around homebush area a few times.. I don't live there though haha

My workmate is quite sure you live in the same apartment building as him.. he has the black 2.0TDI Pacific.

Marko gave me a quick demo of the APR exhaust at the warehouse meet. Its really really nice.
Not too loud, doesn't drone but sounds really sporty.
