Winter Prepped the car with the Klasse Twins

I realized no matter how far you park away from every car someone is going to ding it.

Just gives them a false sense of space

I had them on my GTI before hand, so I just carried them over. They looked much better with CSG than they do with RB. But still not to bad, with RB, I think polished would look better.

or black, to tie in with all the black bits.

I know they're not the same wheels, but the black looks wicked on the RB.

Agreed, I eventually want to get some black Neuspeed RSe14's.

I've seen painted black interlagos, didn't really look as good IMHO.

What's worse is when you do it yourself. The front is so low and just out, I've already scrapped the **** out of the underside of the front splitter on parking barriers and curbs. Meh. It's no trailer queen.

**yoooooon** · 10-08-2012 02:27 AM

Well, I took her out for my weekend drive to brunch and I'm stationary in the right turn lane. Pow! Someone hits me from behind in a Scion TC. My rear passenger wheel took the brunt of it due to the angle that I was at, but there is some relatively minor damage to the rear quarter panel. And major damage to my soul.

And to think, I was going to be able to go a year at least without an incident at the rate I was driving it. I envy all of you that still have yours in tip top shape! Good luck, it's a mean world out there!

For a second I thought that was my car. That is until I noticed the front plate mount.

**stompy** · 10-08-2012 12:06 PM

Dropped off the HPFP at UPS...on it's way to APR for a rebuild! 1+ by the end of the week hopefully!

**ThatVdub** · 10-08-2012 12:11 PM

Got these bishes today, and I will be installing them later today.
Hope I will have a perma-grin after today.

Oh, never thought the DP would be this heavy.

**HurdyED30** · 10-08-2012 12:16 PM

Did some testing with the Racelogic performance Box and the Golf R...............

They called me Thursday, before flashing, and asked me how many stalks do I have on the left side of the steering wheel.

**dman736** · 10-08-2012 02:51 PM

Before and after. Just need to order some CW touch up paint and hopefully look ok.

Probably, maybe I would not have this going on...

**Gyntry** · 10-08-2012 03:14 PM

I think I've seen that a few times after removing battery for extended period. Cleared after about 5mins or so...

**Rdurty2** · 10-08-2012 03:14 PM

Christmas tree!!

Have you just tried clearing all codes and then going for a drive? They should all reset after a few minutes of driving.

You guys rock!
They all cleared just driving a few feet.
It's not very impressive w/ the stock DP still on, but I can't wait to see what happens with the APR
DP in it's place.

**ignitionlive** · 10-08-2012 03:40 PM

dropped my car off for paint (stock wheels, gloss black) and fill and paint the notch left in the hood when i switched to badgeless grill-

Yes, but 18 inch wheels, they are called VW Interlagos. 8 inch Wide ET41 18 inch.

**driveR12** · 10-08-2012 06:40 PM

So after the "parking lot" incident yesterday I decided to go get my APR Stage 1 done. WOW

what a difference! This car has finally awoken and feels better.

Some dumba$$ did that same thing to my last car. I park WAY away from anyone for fear of feeling the need to hurt someone if they ding my R.

How's the brightness? Everything I seem to be reading says that they're not nearly as bright as stock...

How much is it costing you?

Is a full hood repaint required?

Opinions on them? Which ones exactly are these?

These are the Bold-Sport LEDs. They're slightly dimmer than the stock bulbs, but still quite bright. The only thing I'm not supper thrilled with is the three diodes in the front are distinct from the front.
