So I have had my car for about two years now, and though I should start a build thread. More so to track the progress of my car for myself.. Keep in mind I am a poor student and some mods are fairly minor ![Smile](https://www.eurodrivers.ca/forums/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The car is a 2006 MK5 GTI -
So this is how I bought her: Stage 1 REVO, Forge DV, BSH TruSeal, 1" drop on springs, chrome mirror caps
![](http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s490/TenseMKV/gti.jpg)
It stayed this way for a pretty long time, just added some small mods such as: 42dd TBE along with going stage 2, BSH PCV Block off, Nokya 3000k FTP and Fog light bulbs, Also got some yellow lamin-x for my fogs and plasti dipped my grille:

I then thought Id be cool and get some LM reps - of coarse before buying a proper suspension (pretty much a must have step when owning any MKV)

Realized the reps were a no-no, so I picked up some of these: 2 piece Volk Racing III's F:18x8 +44, R:18x9 +47. (running them with wobble bolts, so no caps ATM)

I also picked up a set of FK Highsports, got tint all the way around and picked up some OEM votex rails, also swapped out the chrome mirror caps for some black ones.

This is pretty much how she sits now.. But tons on the way...
