I traded in my MK4 GTI for this jetta a day ago. Its a nice car and runs great, and love the nice wave of torque that kicks in around mid RPM.

Oh my god. That looks amazing. I just bought a 2008 BMP Gti, and I think I may have to hit up autozone for the black box. How long did It take you to get it looking like that?

It took me around 4 hours by hand with a few breaks. BTW wear gloves the stuff is all black and gets messy, but for $20 its a good product.

Moar pics... I have BMP also but never used this stuff/kit. I waxed mine yesterday with some Autoglym which is amazing stuff!

[fahrenheit62]

good luck with your car

[PGJettaFTW]

Oh hi Josh

Glad to see you cleaned up the paint on that car. The price was great but the Autofair recon department royally screwed up with the buffer and the previous owner apparently loved to just scratch the car haha. Nice to see the solid change like that.

Love the plans and I know I'll be seeing you around. Once you are dropped and have the Alphards on, we will have to do a shoot together

[DFWSKATE]

i wanna trade in my mk4 for a mk5

Update:
Installed AWE Tuning catback, Hella OEM HID Replica headlights, Euro switch, and a Wolfsburg grille with chrome slats.

I still need to paint the chrome smile black, paint the side markers, and disable DRLs. I might have all that done this week sense I will be on vacation.

My plans for the winter is to pick 8380 labs coilovers, diesel geek skid plate, and Privat Kups for wheels. 18x8.5 et36 w/ 215/40/18 all around, and if theres money left over I will pick up a OEM Votex lip.

[eatonrabbit.]

looks like you have a lot of work to do with that trunk area or it just could be the pics. either way, nice find and pick up. you have yourself a good start.
