    I've been a lurker for a little while, but haven't posted much at all.

    About a month and a half ago my '07 Wolfsburg was totaled by some hipster in a Volvo 240.
    Pic:


    Picked up the replacement a few weeks after that:

    A CPO '10 Wolfsburg with only 7500 miles on it. The new car is far better than the old, with the GLI suspension, the 2.0T rather than the 2.5, and the DSG. I'm not too sure what the plans are for the car, but it won't be for a while.

    Pics:

    Hi. I'm new to mkv's and just picked up this rabbit.




    I've managed to get some used parts from some good people:


    I'm not sure if I want to "stance" my rabbit or build a race car... Do you guys know of any good intakes/exhausts they make for the rabbit?

    I had to scroll up and make sure I hadn't misread the username... then I noticed the missing troll face pic and all was right with the world.

    This is my rabbit. I just finished paying it off. It's a bit on the plain side, but that's how I like it. Me gusta.

    Nah, I have a dump with a GTI rear... I'll be shaving the cutout and keeping the gti lower... The rabbit one sinks in too much on the sides...

    R32 = big butt
    Rabbit = little butt
    GTI = average butt
    lol.

    Actually... I'm on a GTI setup with adam's rotors and Boxster Brembos up front. Kicked a ton of weight and kept the braking power (if not improved it...). As long as the brembos hide behind the wheels, nobody will ever know they were there.

    very good start i would have gone with color matched side markers or just none all together haha. i hate how on the mk5's when they do tint, they have the white line around the edge

    Yeah it is odd how that little white line is something they can't go over, but it is what it is. I like the difference in the cars look either way. But the side markers are after the chip and lowered then rims and side markers. Just for my timeline...
