Its goes without saying that the Volkswagen Golf Mk V is surely carrying the GTi moniker well. Having been launched mid 2006 on US soil, it was a hit from the word go!
To find a stock Mk V around your neighborhood is pretty easy and very often you will find some with a different style of wheels. When I met Nishal, I happened to be walking past his car and what really caught my eye was the blue around the grill area - take a closer look and you WILL find yourself watering at the mouth!
The feel to the car is aggressive. Nothing can be labeled as over done, yet it still remains classy.
Nishal has always had a love for cars - and having the urge to modify them, he really wanted a Mk V GTi with silver being the only color of choice. When he finally got around to getting the car he did a small performance mod running stage 2 software. Like most guys with modified cars, he became used to the power and wanted more so the general option was to go with a full K04 set up done by a buddy of his.
Wheel wise he opted for a set of 18" PDW hoops, and with the ride height not being the most ideal,
H 'n R springs were installed to bring it closer to the earth.
With the K04 conversion on the cards, it was guaranteed there would be small things that still had to be done, so Yoshen from Unitronic was brought on board to do the necessary.
Evoms intake, S3 cooler, S3 injectors, Devils Own meth kit, Forge twincooler, Wotbox and full exhaust with R32 diffuser make quite the ingredients for one of South Africa's fastest GTi's. It didn't stop there however - it finally ended with him doing full Neuspeed pulley kit and a last visit to Yoshen to do stage 2+.
And so, together, all the ingredients of this recipe brings you one fast and mean looking Mk V!
Enjoy,
Allister.
