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!
A couple of days after getting her home - removed the roof wrap and installed the BBS LMR's :heart:
VWR Intake installed!
A couple of days after the VWR springs were installed:
And the alignment:
S2T Paddles
Milltek DP waiting to be installed:
VWR BBK Installed (this is a carryover from my MK6 - they were red I made them black):
Fastivus 2015 Track Day:
Euro HIDs installed! No more orange! w00r!
Painted rear bumper reflectors. Subtle but me like:
034 Motorsports Dogbone insert installed:
Here are a couple of shots from the "Last Sunday" get togethers which happen here in LA the last Sunday of every month:
Future mods:
