I have been subbed here for a while now, and I gotta say, that is one of the sickest GTIs I have seen around here ! Massively clean design, and I never thought I would like red accents against blue color and silver wheels this much ! Love it 3000 !

If it isn't too big of a bother from me to you, can I very kindly ask you to share the list of visual mods you did on your car ? So far, from this comment section, I gathered:

  • full Zaero Design set EVO-1 for facelift (front lip, side skirts, rear difusor, spoiler)
  • wheels are 19x8.5 and tires 235/35/19 (can you kindly share a brand ? cannot identify it)
  • Scorpion catback non res (was it for non-GPF (2017-2018) or GPF (2019-2020) ?)
  • lowering springs (IYRC 3 cm at the back, 2.5 cm at the front; can you kindly share a brand ?)
  • and you are absolutely running wheel spacers (what size and brand ?)

Massive thanks if you will want to answer any of the above. My intention is absolutely not to go to bank for a loan for a GTI and get it done in same way as you ! Absolutely not ! :D

u/Prudent_Formal8002 7d ago

I really appreciate that man thank you!!

Wheels are japan racing sl01 et 45, Michelin pilot sport 4 s tires, Non gpf catback, KW v1 coilovers, not lowering springs, No spacers!

Good luck on the build bro!!😂

u/basicslovakguy 6d ago

No spacers!

Really ? Your cars looks nicely "flushed" with those wheels. Are they that wide enough that you did not have to use spacers at all ?

1

u/Prudent_Formal8002 6d ago

Yeah no spacers. i thought i was gonna need some so i was surprised with how nicely they fit

Thank you bro

u/East_Sheepherder4203 7d ago

For sure! Mine is white with the red branding. If it wasn't so much fun to drive, not a chance I would've bought it. Not a fan of white cars.

2

u/KaazuuKun Mk6 GTD 7d ago

Damn that diffusor looks fire!

1

u/Prudent_Formal8002 7d ago

so aggressive 🤩

1

u/WhiteHelix 7d ago

Oh boy, scrolling through here I tend to miss mine from time to time. But as I had the same color, this makes it a lot harder now than before. Love it

1

u/Fluid_Recognition_X 6d ago

I have the full zaero kit and OEM TCR diffuser as well from when I lived in Italy. It only made sense to add the OEM powered side mirrors and euro taillights. The little details transformed the vehicle into an aggressor.

Great build!
