I think this is my first thread of vortex..used to spend most of my time over on AZ..just recently sold b6 s4, and picked up a GLI..haven't posted any pictures yet, so I figured I'd share..there just some quick shots I took after the rain..full shoot to come soon..

here is my previous car..b6 s4:



and here is the GLI:

[@NT]

Damn dude 10" wide!

Best mk6 Jetta yet...in my opinion

[DFWSKATE]

About time someone really steps up to the plate since Matt.

What's holding up the fronts?

[GLIfe]

you're doing it right.

[Jon.]

fronts are 18x9 et 42
rears are 18x10 et 51

what size tires you running on these?

[kilo7285]

So clean. Seriously wasn't a fan of MKVI's on bags but I definitely am now with those wheels it just looks right. How much would a wheel/tire setup like this cost if you don't mind me asking?

[JayBeeSki]

Wow!!! Perfect, if it was mine all I would
add is Euro headlights and it would be done.

[doozinit]

sexy

[VWscorchn]

Your S4 gave me an erection....but the GLI, well...Finished the job.

Beautiful car!

[pattrick02]

Thanks man!

About time someone really steps up to the plate since Matt.

The car lays frame..its getting held up by the front tires though...i need to roll the frent fonders asap..that wilm allow it to go down that extra inch...

you're doing it right.

Thanks bro!

what size tires you running on these?

Fronts are 215

Thanks man..glad to hear that...hmm set up like this would cost 6-7k..more than my air set-up, lol..

Wow!!! Perfect, if it was mine all I would

I've got some plans in the making

Your S4 gave me an erection....but the GLI, well...Finished the job.

Beautiful car!

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[nickb488]

soooo clean, car looks amazing

[pattrick02]

thanks dude!

i hope we have more and more modded mk6's pop up...i guess it's still fairly new, and not very popular as compared to the gti's...

[nickb488]

thanks dude!

im hoping for the same, i came from a GTI lol

[pattrick02]

Haha..so you know exactly what i mean..hopefully with more aftermarket support that we are getting bit by bit will help out...and then comes the money pit....i told myself i wouldnt spend any money on this car like i did the s4...and there goes that..

To each their own, but thanks for the other two thumbs up

Props for the quality of it for sure. I'm a fan of air, but with LMs on an new GLI, I'd rather see a really nice handling static set up. But either way, props from me. And hey, you're not the only B6 S4 swapper!

[SinlessVillainy]

Welcome to the club! Roll the front fenders ASAP. 9" ET42 has 1mm more clearance than the 8.5 ET35 that I test fit on mine yesterday and they tucked nice. But my fenders are rolled to allow the it.

I feel you man, i know exactly what you mean..i have had my eyes on these ever since i had the s4, which would have been sick with lm's...it was just out of reach...but i feel you man..thanks man! Nice to see another ex-s4 owner...damn i miss that car so much...but i do love the GLI!

Thanks bro! I know, i need them rolled asap. They are the only thing holding me back from going all the way down..its so annoying! As soon as i have some time i will get it done

[fasttt600]

[EuroTrade]

[dubsmcb]

[FukenMKIII]

Stepping up that game!

Once that front comes down a bit more

[joe_gli]

Dope

haha i really only miss the seats and exhaust tone..it's all negated by my lack of concern every time i go outside and start my car each morning and am not listening for timing chain linkage rattles and ****. i'm a student and my car sits outside in an urban area so it was just pointless to have an S4 that i had to worry about all the time. a fun experience, but not missing it too much.

makes sense...i think it's because of all the time and money i spend working on that car..it just grew attached to it..but it was time to go..maintenance is crazy...and don't even mention the timing chains...and if it's not the timing chains, it's the scorched cyclinder walls..

thanks! Hopefully I will be contacting you guys soon..seriously considering the euro headlights...

[Shire101]

Finally someone posts a legit GLI. Hope to make mine this sick
