Absolutely.....was hoping to lower before the shots, but can take a few. The 235 definitely makes the wheel look wider
What did you do to your MKVI-A6 Golf family/JSW today?

I built my own USB Kit for the center console, for about $20, and installed it. Setup so USB always hot which allows me to charge my phone even with the car off.
Also got a shorter charging cable for the iPhone that I use as a monitor/gauges and finished monitor install.
Also finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of LED Tails

Took off the winter tires/wheels. My stock summer wheels have a fresh coat of plasti dip and new Michelin Extremecontact DWS-06 paid for by my VW card. Also installed fog lights today.

Did you also delete the egr cooler? I have the same race pipe sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I will be deleting the cooler as well but am still in the researching phase of it.Installed my race pipe! And removed that EGR pipe that hugged the block. Oil changes shall be easier now

Last week I drove out to AARodriguez Corp (fixmyvw.com) and had the Malone Stage 2 tune and DSG tune installed and picked up a Buzzken DPF delete and midpipe. I did the exhaust work at home over the weekend. I left the stock muffler on for now. Below is a series of before and after videos I made. Exhaust sound is still very quiet but the performance improvement is impressive. I did a write-up with photos of how to remove the DPF and install the Buzzken downpipe and will publish it soon.

I also performed the 120K service on my car including DSG fluid change and air filter. I'll be changing the fuel filter and cabin filter soon as well once I have a chance to do it.

Awesome! I did the same exact setup. Left the stock muffler and it sounds nice! I have yet to tackle the egr cooler delete. I'll probably be doing that very soon! I purchased all the supplies and equipment to do my 80k service
Call me weird but I love that I can smell the diesel now....lolGood info here for EGR cooler delete http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=444291

Wife wanted plasti dipped wheels, along with red calipers. I have been battling a bad back for a few weeks, so I just supervised. That counts right?
Plasti dipping wheels is pretty lame, but it turned out looking pretty good. Used Rustoleum Graphite, so it has some metallic in there. I like it enough that I would paint or have them powdercoated to match what they are now.

Found them on ebay....great fit too.

Put them on my watch list, thanks!
So, now they are installed, do you find it much easier to use the paddle shifters? How much more if any do you use them?
stock paddles require you to basically hold your hands at 9 and 3...who does that? These allow you to pretty much hold the wheel anywhere on the wheel and be able to shift, as they also extend downwards.
In/around town I don't use them that much, but en route to a longer drive/highway I use them more.

Installed a resonator on my exhaust. Current setup is now CR170 turbo to 3" downpipe to straight midpipe w/resonator to stock muffler. I'll see if I can get a pic of the shiny Rawtek pipe.
I must say I like the overall tone of the car much better now. It's a little less beefy, without any obnoxious rasp. The sound of the turbo spooling up and down is a bit harder to hear now, which for me is a negative (I love hearing that thing whistle).

I found mine on ebay. They are relatively small IMHO. So, I used the image and had another site print a larger version.
