Factory Specs: (Ordered from Jordan@GarnetVW) Took delivery on June 25, 2010.

Just realized that you also bought yours at Garnet. I bought mine from Fran over at Garnet.

Garnet has to be one of the best dealerships around.

Have you seen Jordan's old Bug? Thing is sweet!

Just pics of it but it looks sick. Great place to buy a car, I have 3 dealerships closer to my house but it was worth the trip to Garnet to not have to deal with any of them.

VW has an 'R' Line and puts it on their models, and audi does the same with their S line packages.

great car man i like it!

thanks.

No I used bagriders because of the sale they were running until new years. I spoke to Will and things were on back order because they sold out during the sale. I'm ok waiting I'm just looking for a more definite arrival time. It's not like I'd get out there and do it anyway, it's freezing. was going to wash the car today, walked outside and right back in.

One thing I've noticed that you're missing... seat handle inserts!

I want a blank set of aluminum ones for mine.

[johnnyR32]

weird thing is I hated them when people started getting them but decided to see what they looked like in person and changed my mind.

yeah not sure about those. I don't really like the ones that say GTI and haven't seen the blanks.

[MDA0303]

Got my new dash cubby from OEMplus today. I was running the same one a lot of guys have that is meant for cars equipped with knee airbags. The new one is for cars without so it's more like the MKV style but black.

OLD:


NEW:

^ hard to install? The ECS youtube clip makes it look pretty easy but some of the DIY threads not so much.

not bad. after you take the stock trim off there are like 3 supports you have to remove so that the cubby fits and then the new one goes back on. I've already done the tough part so putting the new one on will be easy.

[johnnyR32]

UPDATE Got home from work travel today and was greeted with a few packages.....also put the new cubby in real quick and some LED plate bulbs.

Cubby



LEDs...before and after



and the packages....didn't feel like unpacking everything

[johnnyR32]

Got these in yesterday. Planning to get the bags installed in the next few weeks when I get back from Minnesota. And the new bumpers and skirts should be here shortly after.

[johnnyR32]

Small Update....finally got the hardware to mount my warning triangle. Still waiting on the R parts from TMTuning and the bags are sitting in the boxes.

[Squirrel Nuts]

Where did you get the warning triangle clip?

[Aonarch]

Kewl.

[johnnyR32]

Where did you get the warning triangle clip?

ECS, I'll have to find the number. There's a plastic body clip and screw needed too. It doesn't hold any triangle though, I had the less expensive one from ECS and it was too small for the holder. You need the $35 triangle.

. Right now I'm using where my spare tire is for holding stuff.

Car looks awsome!

thanks.

yeah it's nice to have a place to put things. my spare tire area only holds the stock parts and my coil wrench. all the other extras are in the tray and now the triangle has it's own spot. the P?N for the holder is 1K6860266D989, I'll have to get back to you on the P/N's for the clip and screw.
