  • Who doesn’t love a cheap modifications? Especially when it actually works! This week we take on a few of the cheapest handling modifications on the market to try and improve some of the weak points on this platform. Join me in this episode where we install the Whiteline anti loft kit and bump steer correction ball joints before heading for a 4 wheel alignment!

    I LOVED watching this series. The MK5 and MK7 is the coolest versions of the GTI.
    I would recommend you to inspect the air and fuel system of the car, as you did not make the best 0-60 times in your other video. So carbon clean, injector clean and new fuel filter (very easy) should help.
    BTW did you paint the front bumper to mimic an R32? Looks nice!

    The silver grill is very Golf R32 esque...check that out in metallic silver!

    Honestly bro I think a matted silver grill looks good on these cars but the bottom half surrounding of the grill needs to be painted as well. It just looks halfway done that way. As far as the control arms I went with the aluminum Passat control arms with solid bushings but honestly can't tell much of a difference. The game-changer though was the Passat aluminum spindles they actually shorten your steering ratio just a bit! 👍 and while you're changing spindles you might as well put in new wheel bearings. The spindles make the bigger difference of the two as far as the feel of the car

    It’s looking great and the mods are fantastic
    Love the mk5 and I think keeping it all black is my personal choice.
    Great work looking forward to the next episode:) Vdub

    I think you should do the front grill gloss white. Get a nice bit of contrast you want and a clean look. Bugger to keep clean but so it black 🤣

    Took my golf to ring ring last month and was so much fun. Silver grill looks good but it think the bottom middle part needs to be silver aswell.
