    Just got a new GTI!

    04-27-2012 05:30 PM #1
    Sad that an accident took away my 2010 United Gray GTI but, happy ending, I was able to get it replaced fairly quickly!

    Friggin stoked about it too!

    Deep Black Autobahn package DSG.

    I have a little extra money from the settlement, what should I do to it first?

    Always sad to see GTI carnage At least your back on the road though

    Get a short ram or a downpipe first. Best mods for the least money. Coils are always good too

    And if your feeling frisky chip it

    Awesome that you got a deep black GTI! That color is gorgeous. The only positive out of GTI carnage is the hope that the 2.0 T will find its way into a worthy project car

    Do you get much performance gains from just a DP with no other mods?

    Downpipe eh? Hadn't even thought about that one.

    Installed LED footwells and cargo lights today! Love it!

    Will be chipping it very soon. What else?

    Thanks for the kind words guys

    Coils are definitely on the list, need to save up a few paychecks for those! K04 has to wait for now as well.

    I think I am going to do a stage 1 tune as the first major mod. Did order a few minor things today like GTI insert for the seat adjuster, LED dome lights and red GTI badges. More to come.

    Perhaps I should turn this into a build thread...

    Better call your APR dealer, today is the last day of the spring sale if you want a Stage 1 tune.
