Love the thread, attention to detail, and heavy heavy picture load!

car looks sick man!

You have the nicest rear end (no homo)

You've modded this car perfectly in my eyes. Its coming along awesome!

Dead sexy.

Glad to hear you will be sticking around with your R for a while. You are the poster child for tasteful mods!

Congrats to andrew and tom, big fan of both your cars. andrew, yours looks nice and proper down low.

PSU - your car looks sick as it is right now - enjoy it!!!! Nobody is running Karthoms anymore, and the black ones with your black mirror caps look really nice! You got'em spaced out proper also man

Looks awesome duder!

Love the new wheels!! The car looks awesome!

the r looks super mint with black blades

Spectacular!

Looks good dude!

Beautiful vehicle. Looks even better in person.. same goes for the back seat.

Wheels look fantastic! Just read through the entire build thread, great stuff in here. By far my favorite MkV R32! Keep up the good work, and can't wait to meet you at WITW.11

car looks so sick with those wheels, but I still say you got some serious hate coming your way from all the senior citizen vette owners when they put their bifoculs on and spot them Corvette caps son

Oh sweet! I love the .:R

That is a nice R you have there PSU. At least some people don't make them all garage queens.

Memorable Quotes

You, sir, have a marvelous beard.

I always pictured you as a college kid, I now have so much more respect for you. Lol.

White Rick Ross

Burned by Av., PSU, Johnny and Zimmy. Not a good day for this kid.

I have a life size poster of PSU on my ceiling above my bed so I can gaze into his eyes as I fall asleep.

I vote PSU for Moderator.

Some day PSU will know my car....

lol, no worries man. I didn't even pick up on it. my wife said later "i thought you knew him". I just told her it's PSU, he knows everyone, you wouldn't understand

I PSU.

I'm not scared And you never know I might kidnap you this time

And maybe PSU could even kidnap both of us at the same time

im so ready to hump PSU's knowledgeable leg

I may not be cool enough to be your brother, or end up in your sig, but I know you can always count on me to bring Miranda to shows (will be at H2O, btw) and for some belligerent fun.

Speaking of PSU, I thought his 50k posts were the bees knees...OP has over a MILLION...wtf???

Whoever that Andrew Revels character is, he's a stand up photographer.

And who is this PSU guy? Responsible for these feature photos, Johnny's brutha (Charlie's too?), and his mug is a decal...sounds hella boss (yeah, I said "hella").

Shine on top, beard on the bottom!!!

Does that make Tinkerbell my mother?!

PSU.

i would like to thank psu, the floss filthy crew fo giving me so much respect, and the kid in the hood rich audi for pulling over and making sure i was ok, your guys scene is filled with alot of good people and a few arrogant rich kids, all in all its way better then the honds scene and sorry if you feel like im intruding your "scene"

I PSU for making MKV's look sexy

sawblades on a R has to be the cheapest thing ive ever seen

So you going to volunteer for escort the drives to H20 and Waterfest so no dubbers get pulled over?

P.S. Candy White is the fastest color

[2 liter weedeater T]

Looks great.
P.S. TR smokes them all goes like hell, hence red is the color of HELL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[ayagasa]

nice camera

[PSU]

Thanks for the replies.

Just ordered two cool parts:

Euro headlight switch


Gewerkschaft der Polizei sticker:


"All of the hooligan German drivers are sporting this sticker to gain some mercy with the Polizei when they are pulled over. The literal translation is "trade union of police" and is the German equivalent of "We support our local (Sherrif/Police) office."

[R guy]

Your car came with a holeless grille? Wow, some dealership you got. Mine is still pretending that they never heard of the replacement program.

[rudy343]

where did you get this?

[rudy343]

sorry i meant the key logo where did you get it?

[PSU]

Yessir.

And that really isnt fair it had a holeless when you picked it up

Garnett VW had a DBP R and a TR R and guess what? Both of them had holeless grills.

Anyways though, Garnett is a PA dealer and PA doesn't require front plates.

[TGR]

Nice pics !!!!

btw, rumor says you recently bought a nice front end cover

Is your car white?

It's done nothing but rain since I bought the car...

[L4YERCAK3]

Yes, it's the one with the body work/exhaust that pulled in when you were standing outside.

[PSU]

Yes, it's the one with the body work/exhaust that pulled in when you were standing outside.

Hell yeah, nice car! My uncle was like, "Damn, that thing looks good."

cool pics, i need to get those monster mats

I got mine on eBay.

Cheapest I could find and I had them within 3 days.

I am contemplating buying these:



I am worried that; a) they will get stolen within a day, b) they will look ricey.

I have them, they don't look ricey, esp on a DBP and i doubt they'll be taken, I had VW stem covers on the Jetta for 2 years and these on my R since February,

Thanks for the replies. Just ordered two cool parts: Euro .:R32 Chrome headlight switch

I hope you're ready to grab the chrome mirror switch as well .

[PSU]

For sure! I got these as well:

Good stuff, thanks for the reply. I figured they'd look alright on DBP, especially since they will prolly cover more of the valve stem than the plastic black ones do.

I know this has been touched on before but...that headlight switch is plug-n-play right, however, you need a vag-com to activitate some of the features? Parking lights-only?

[PSU]

[Uberhatch]

NOOOOO , noooo on the BRA! Your car is awesome man but the Bra just straight kills the look imo. If your worried just do the clear stuff, that just detracts from the beauty of the car.

Otherwise, excellent pics!!!

no body colored side markers? come on man, what's taking you so long?. Also what lens are u shooting with? 1.4 prime something or other?

[S.W.Terror]

What? One thread that the same person continuously updates as they do new work to their car?

This is blasphemy. What do you think this is, a blog? There must be new threads for every new item! Got new wheels? New thread!!! New license plate bolts? New thread!!! A sticker? NEW THREAD!!!

Your Vortex handbook hasn't come yet, I see.

(Car looks great, minus the brazeer...but it's temporary thank god)

[DarkNeo]

Quote, originally posted by PSU »

Yeah, yeah, sue me. I'm pretty sure unless you are right up on the bolts or using a telephoto lens like I was, no one will even notice. They look better than some flat head screws.

I would notice

[Nutdotnet]

Quote, originally posted by PSU »

Haha. It's a temp fix until I can score a 3M bra.

I hope that happens soon bud. I'd be more concerned with damaging my paint using a leather bra than the actual looks of it. Moisture gets built up underneath there...not good!
