Nice car. Did you order this?Mosi said:

I would ditch the chrome grill and get the black GLI grill.Mosi said:Are you asking if I ordered the black grill yet or if I ordered the car? If it's the car, then no. My wife and I were having a huge debate on color for a standard TDI and it came down the dealer not having either with the options we wanted so they said they would give us a great deal on anything that was on the lot. I had already shown them my Exec Costco price that a dealership across town was offering, and they beat the price by a bit. It's exactly the color that we have wanted for a long time on a car. Since I was going to upgrade the standard TDI rims/tires anyway, the cost difference on the CUP is on par, plus it has the upgraded suspension, brakes, and paddle shifters.
I have not ordered the black grill yet.
Also, this is the car we use to tickle the speed bug
Cool. Now, I can't wait... for your pictures!Mosi said:
Just let him know you want the Wolfsburg Jetta grill set for your TDI and he will know what to send. You may want to search through the thread I posted above and figure out what pieces you want. The main upper grill will take care of getting rid of most of the chrome. Some have blacked out the lower grill "smiley" and popped off the side grill chrome bits to save $$ instead of replacing them. The side grills also have the option for fog lights if you want that, but most are opting for the "no fog" option, which is what I'm getting.turbo2467 said:
No TDI Cup front end treatment i.e spoiler/spliter combo?Mosi said:Just got this yesterday! It has DSG, MDI, sunroof, and spoiler. $27,800 OTD
I will be removing the stickers on the side because I think it will look better w/o them. I know I know.... I will lose 5hp, but oh well
How hard was the sticker to remove? How did you do it?Mosi said:Ahhhh... much better with the stickers removed! I will post another pic next week after the Wolfsburg grill set is on.
It depends on the outside temp. It was pushing 70 when I did it and one side of the car was in the sun. The shady side required quite a bit of hair dryer treatment to heat up the decals. Just heat them up a bit at a time and get a fingernail under a corner and start peeling it back. It took about 45 mins to get all of them off, including removing a couple of spots of sticker adhesive on the shaded side.... the sun side was a breeze.GDM said:
First of all, the CUP is only 2k more than the stock TDI before you add options. We were going to get a standard TDI and I was going to upgrade the rims and spend $1500-2k for them... also upgrade the suspension a bit. The cup has the color we wanted, the rims are decent enough for me not to upgrade, it has the GLI suspension, bigger brakes, paddle shifters, and I like the cloth interior over the leatherette since it breathes better. For how much I was going to spend on upgrades, this is more than worth it. Oh and I'm not swapping out bumpers, just the chrome grill for $285. My wife and I think the car looks good enough w/o the body kit. That's going to be it besides maybe some tinted windows.mysql said:
+1....Mosi said:We are going to dial in the car the way we like it.
Is that thru the insurance company or is that part the extended warranty you can get from the dealer?brucebanes said:
