    I thought I should finally create a members profile. Here it is.

    Car is a 2000 Jetta VR6 GLX with a touch of OEM+ class. Modifications done so far include:

    European CCM
    Diebstahlwarnanlage (DWA - electric alarm siren)
    Aero Wipers (arms and blades)
    OEM 337 side skirts
    Alarm override of door lock cylinder
    OEM Euro Split-vew / Wide-angle mirrors
    OEM GPS Shark Fin antenna
    OEM Ambient interior door handle lighting
    Ambient footwell lighting
    Euro Parking lights
    Window/sunroof open/close via remote
    Black grill
    Magnaflow cat-back exhaust
    Black headliner, pillars, and interior trim
    OEM HIDs with auto-leveling
    OEM headlamp washer system
    H&R Street Performance coilovers
    04+ GLS tailights
    Euro red "VR6"
    Audi TT short shifter
    Euro R32 DSG intake piping
    Euro blue-tint photochromic glass
    Euro MKV R32 Zolder rims
    10mm front & 20mm rear spacers
    Fahrerinformationsystem (FIS) Cluster
    4Motion Front/Rear valances
    European black textured rubstrips
    Front Beetle headrests
    263 degree Cat Cams
    R32 front brakes with Hawke HPS pads

    I just need to get the 4Motion valances and washer caps painted, then I'll install them. Future mods to come:

    Skoda Superb power-folding exterior mirrors
    Audi auto-dimming & compass mirror
    Homelink visor
    Euro Passat W8 burr-walnut steering wheel
    Euro sound system

    They're Euro MKV R32 "Zolder" reps. Similar to the Exors.

    They're Linglong L688's. A cheap tire, but they've been fantastic in the wet and dry and have far exceeded my expectations of them.

    He is obviously going for the Eurospec inspired build, therefore the black rubs work quite well. Nice mods, Im in search of a few of those myself. OEM+

    Clean ride. More info on the power folding mirrors please.

    The Skoda Superb mirrors look identical to the MKIV mirrors, except that they're power folding and have LED puddle lamps in them. I'm working on creating a MKV-esque Coming/Leaving home function and want to tie the puddle lamps into the system.

    Danke schön! I didn't install the textured rubs just because they're Euro - I quite like the contrast they provide. Plus every MKIV I see around here has painted rubs. Now mine stands out just a bit. I replied to your IM.


    Thanks again for all the compliments people, it's nice to be appreciated!
