Hi. I'm Brian. Welcome to my thread. I'm the original owner of this highly modified stock looking GLI. Some say that's the definition of OEM+. Call it what you want. It's mine and I love it (most of the time). Photobucket broke nearly all of the pictures and I refuse to update 1000+ links. Sorry. Skip to the end of the thread if you want as the newer stuff has pictures.

Crappy pictures from 2012:
2013 looked the same as 2012, but I was missing the front bumper. Here's 2014. It's not looking good:
Current stage:
To Do List
Audio stuff:
Finish sound deadening trunk/floor/doors
Fabricate mounting bracket for new amp in CD changer slot (JL HD 900/5)
Make new speaker rings for the front door speakers and install new speakers in the rear doors
New speaker wire, wiring from head unit to amp
Modify blank dash button for subwoofer volume control knob
Build a new false floor over the JL Stealthbox and spare tire
Repairs:
Locate and fix water leak
Replace both rear door control modules
Replace front right door handle cable
Replace front right tweeter panel
Fix front bumper (the bottom sags in the center on the back side)
Misc.:
Install new rear view mirror (Subaru/Gentex semi-frameless autodimming with red hidden compass and Homelink)
Order new airbag for MK7 steering wheel
Install ambient LEDs in each door handle (OEM diffusers from I think an A8)
New LED strips in the trunk since I ripped out the old ones with the amp setup
Relocate the MKV grocery bag hood in the trunk as it was mounted on the board for the amps
Firmware update for ColorMFA
Order new pad for under the carpet
Install new carpet (have already)
Reinstall interior (have new center console and shifter surround)
Misc. wiring cleanup from previous projects
Considerations:
VX Tuning quad projector OEM HID style headlights
FK LED tail lights if I ever find a set (modified with Euro lenses)
Trim and install new painted engine covers
ECS fuel pressure gauge (undecided)
Passat mirror switch (undecided)
42DD Stealth catch can (undecided)
Distant Future:
LSD and strengthened shift forks when clutch fails
GT28RS or GT2871R turbo kit when stock turbo fails
APR or SEM intake manifold
