Since I've been doing a bunch of stuff to my car lately, I figured it would be a good idea to have one thread that I could update as I go along.
Any positive or negative feedback appreciated.
2006 Jetta TDI - Reflex Silver - Purchased Mar 6, 2007 with 15k on the clock from Beasley Saab in Austin.
Here's what it looked like when I picked it up:
My 1st mod....DieselGeek skid plate. It's saved me more than once. A must have!
Had Eibach pro-kit springs installed in September. It helped get rid of some of that awful wheel gap.
October '07: Picked up a set of 17" Classix from a guy that bought them for his MKIV. Apparently he didn't know the MKV's had a different bolt pattern. He really shouldn't have told me this since I picked them up at a considerable discount. lol!
November '07: Rocketchipped with RC1+ at the Seguin, TX fly in/GTG.
In December '07 a friend of mine from the local board http://www.dfdubs.orgconvinced me to do a front bumper swap with his '07 Rabbit. About a third of the way thru, we figure out we're gonna have to swap radiator core supports too. Yeah, that was interesting. We got it all done though and most importantly, done correctly.
Here's some pics from the install:
February '08: Rubstrips and sidemarkers shaved and colormatched the bottom lip:
