Nice looking Golf and its 2 door. If I was in the market I would be all over this one. GLWS I think it will sell super fast.

stupid question. how do these modifications affect mileage and reliability? just looking for honesty. I am not too familiar with the alh aftermarket.

I am interested but not necessarily because of performance but because it's a clean looking daily driver

Unless you abuse your car, these mods should not affect the life of the engine. Just avoid hammering it all the time from a stop and you’ll be fine. The ALH is know for amazing durability.
