What did you do to your MkV today?

[FAHRENHEITLAD]

Speaking of which....

[sticky euro]

nitrogen in tires.

Drove it today, looked for paint at dealer, all they had was paint sticks, left disappointed

[KyleLaughs]

new shift knob

[BETOGLI]

new shift knob

It looks cool, but I think it might be kind of uncomfortable after a while!

I can speak (as a dealer) touch up paint is a tough item to stock. There are too many colors to have them all and in spray and stick form. Forget about it.

Ready for a trip up to Indy this weekend.

[Matt_Mkv]

Just checking here, curious if anyone in the Lehigh Valley area has a VAG-COM that is possible to borrow next week? Willing to throw you some cash as well, just looking to install my water/meth and would like to dial it in properly. Going to be purchasing my own cable soon, just didn't think about getting one yet.

I figured, I'll just order it online. They did have some, but in some of the more obscure colors (wheat beige? )

I don't know if I buy into that whole thing yet. Air's good w/ me.

Same here, being air is something like 86% nitrogen. The reason we use nitrogen in aircraft tires and components is because nitrogen doesn't have water in it...water at altitude freezes, and it doesn't have the time to thaw out before the jet touches down.


Nitrogen changes temp just as much as "regular" air.

Honestly, www.paintscratch.com is a better choice. I have used OEM spray paint and Paint Scratch spray paint and the PS paint matched 100%. OEM spray paint is lighter than what you're trying to match.

Also, you get more from PS as well.

Trying to figure out the best way to eliminate condensation from the headlights

your going to have to remove and disassemble them and reseal it so no more wanter gets in

i've ordered plenty of paint from vw dealers, it takes about 2-3 times as long to ship paint in than it does a regular part that would be ordered.

Better pics and springs on the way...







Thanks again FAHRENHEITLAD

[peskyrabbit]

emailed ihatestickers for the fourth time wondering where my stickers are at. only ever got 1 reply within a month. i just wany my damn stickers.

[KyleCrish]

You also aren't "stretching" tires either. If Kyle and I were running OEM size, or wider, tires I am positive we would have no fenders. Haha.

oh yeah, if i had oem size tires id be dead. cant wait to get the new sticky tires on so i can have even more fun.

The Jetta grill slats do not look right with the honeycomb.... You should do either full Jetta or full GLI setup, not a mix... That's my opinion though....

On a side note, I haven't seen an updates on your sub box install, how's that coming?

[BeauDennis]

Went out and got more wax and quick detailer for the the meet and Import Face Off:Baton Rouge this weekend. Finally another show.

[thygreyt]

drove it... aqfter fixing it

Actually - I think that looks pretty good, especially with the color matched apron.

[tspooner]

Man I think if the grill hard rounded edges it would look uber radical

Yup, still have to replace the speed sensor/brake wear sensor harness since it ripped the pins out of the bracket when I did my coilovers
