    So I thought I would post up some dirty pics of my .:R and post up the mods since purchasing a year ago

    When purchased:

    58k miles
    EIP 93 tune
    EIP street exhuast
    EIP CAI
    Tinted tails
    Tinted sidemarkers
    Extra .:R32 badging

    Mods:

    78k miles
    Ugraded tune from EIP to UM
    Original tails and sidemarkers back on
    Replaced CAI with K&N drop in
    Kenwood touchscreen headunit
    Euro springs on bilsteins
    Refreshed headlight lenses
    Cupra Lip
    Euro switch
    Tinted side mirrors
    Mk5 rear wiper (put on today after pics)
    Tint
    Remote windows

    I have other vehicles, but the .:R is just so much fun , plus a car is meant to be driven. I don't understand those enthusiasts who only drive sparingly. I might as well own a piece of funiture to sit in my garage and look pretty. Show the world what you have everyone...Drive it

    Found some pics of when I first got her

    I used the 3M kit they sell at autozone. It has 3 or 4 different applicators that you connect onto a drill. Took me about an hour each headlight. The longer you do it the better results you get.

    Looking good
    It's ironic that a few pics show the Atlas moving vans in the parking lot behind the .:R...I guess all the vehicles in that pic "haul the goods."
