That car is awesome looking! The wheels are a world of improvement. Forgive me if this is a stupid question but is that an OEM color? The paint looks amazing!

Not a dumb question at all, it has a Windsor blue base, but more metallic and pearl effect.

I love colour blue of your car it just awesome.

Seeing cars like that make me aaah I'm so glad I joined a vw club.

I'm getting together wednesday with the Air Riders guys finally now that I have the time and know where to meet them.

I plan to get down your way before the summer is over.

Thanks. My camera doesn't have night mode: sad:
But you can adjust shutter speed and aperture, it's not a dslr, but it has a manual setting which lets you adjust these.

Re: 1998 Jetta GT

for good night shots: Try to use as low an ISO as possible to reduce graininess, the easy way is just to set your camera to shutter speed priority and let it do the adjusting itself, use a shutter speed of like anywhere from 1sec to as long as you want for the effect you want. I'm sure teh pro photo gods will post their suggestions once they see this thread

Nice car, I think I might have seen it on Macleod last night but not sure, very clean!

Re: 1998 Jetta GT

Turns out I won't be lowering my car any more. I went to c1 today so have it lowered more, but my coilovers were seized: sad:
But their on warranty, so hopefully everything works out.

I got some spacers for the rear though, 10mm. I'll post some pictures later.

Oh ya, are the people working at the parts department at dealerships not aloud to give out part numbers?

I would say that is BS, the part number is on your receipt. PM me if you want the program they use to look up parts

I didn't buy the part, so I don't have a receipt. He finally found it on his computer, but I didn't have the money, so i asked for the part number for future reference. He said I don't give out part numbers, only the price...

But Ya, I'll take the program.

Thanks,

Graeme
