  • New member: 2008 VW GTI

    I've been visiting Eurodrivers for a while now, and finally decided to make an account. Here is my GTI, bought just a little over a year ago, got to love the monstrous stock ride height.

    First mods, if you can even call them that, were stubby antenna and open fog light grills.

    Then over the winter the mod bug began to fester inside me. I decided the first thing that needed to go was the 4x4 ride height. So this summer I paid Rob at Westside Auto a visit and got the H&R Touring Cup Kit.

    The rear has settled a little bit more, so now the drop is even all around.

    Since I had some money left in the budget I decided to get the OEM led taillights installed as well.


    Here are a couple of before pictures.


    After:


    Rear fog light still has to be installed by Westside Auto.

    Brake lights

    Signal

    And one final P&S picture with a little editing that turned out pretty good.

    I hope to see some of the members around Edmonton and hopefully I can make it out to a few meets some time soon.

    Does the Golf now have a air tube that joins the engine bay to the passenger compartment to enhance the sound of the engine for the driver? I saw soemthing on one of the Golfs at EuroQuake that looked like it had such a tube.

        Saw this GTI in North Edmonton a week ago. Looks great. The tails are impressive and make the car really stand out.

            Thanks for the kind words haha, and I'll definitely try to make it out to the meets. Since I'll have some free time with school starting, no more working 60+ hour work weeks

                    Jlam, your car is looking great! What suspension are you running? I wish I could go that low but even now I scrape on speed bumps.
