Car purchased 2/28/2015 from Brian Munoz at Hansel VW in Santa Rosa CA. It is a launch car and I got the car at invoice so it was worth the flight up from Los Angeles. I just am using this thread to keep my postings centralized, something I should have done a while ago but oh well.
Before taking delivery I had the dealer tint the windows with Pinnacle Ceramic - 40% on sides, 30% on the rear window and Llumar airblue80 on the windshield. I also had them wrap the roof in an aluminum finish which was awful and I removed it a few days later. Lastly they had a detailer apply Opti-Coat Pro.
Current Mods:
Engine / DSG:
Delivery day!
