Picked up this MKVI with only 34k on it through Carmax…it was like finding a needle in a haystack as I was searching for GTIs…saw this and couldn’t pass it up. Big clincher was that it came with the tech package. Being a 21+ year VW vet, I already had some prescribed mods I wanted to do right off the bat. Family had HAD it with stage 3 cars (too stiff and loud), so this will not get as heavily modded (I say that now).
First mods were the euroswitch and VCDS changes (windows up/down from fob, DRLs off, 3-5 blink, steering wheel mute, etc). Then came the rack for me to continue biking….then the 872 fairing mod (measure twice, drill once for sure). Of course I like yellow fogs, so metalcast paint to the rescue.
Next up were the wheels and tires…..stockers came with 6/32 left, so I started looking immediately. Found a local set of Superleggera’s and had to snatch them up. Paired them with 235/45/17 DWS06 Conti’s.
That’s it for now…….will end up getting tint before summer, but this’ll do…….1” lower, maybe tune, 034Motorsport rear sway…….but who knows…such a slippery slope
Glad to be part of the diesel family!
