    Well, I'm back with another partially broken Jetta. This time it's a tad different. Trying to get it right and actually put more effort into it than the PG.

    So here it is, 2002 GLS 1.8T with 106k on it.
    GT2871R
    Tial 38mm external
    ATP manifold
    Head Spacer
    FMIC
    Stage 3 clutch
    Unitronic 630 BT tune
    Unitronic downpipe
    Custom 3 inch exhaust
    Emissions Delete
    TT MAF
    630 injectors
    Racelands
    Porsche Twists
    .:R32 front end
    20th joey mods
    GLI tails

    That take some seriously bad driving skills to rip off an R32 bumper at that height

    Maybe you should have phrased your statement differently.

    "Ohh yay, ripped the bumper off tonight."
    is completely different than
    "Ohh yay, the bumper got ripped off tonight."

    Well, I need some opinions. The .:R bumper isn't too messed up. But I'm thinking of switching to a 20th.

    Also opinions on wheels, miro 111's, rota grids, or polish a set of rc's?

    Grids require air to pull off usually
    Polishing RC's is time consuming but would look decent. Just not very wide so no stretch can be offered without looking weird
    111's are fairly played, especially silver on black, but look good

    I've always wanted miro's, the rc's wouldn't be a problem I've polished a set of blades before.

    I keep blowing the turn signal and hazard light fuse, checked the relay/button and swapped with a working one. Checked all the bulbs, still nothing. Anybody have any ideas?
