So I had a Chevy Prism which was a piece of serious dump. Traded it in, got a cheapo RAV4 L for the winter, then the 5th gear synchro went so I decided I'd go all in finally. I got myself a nice 03 GTI 1.8T. Pictures to follow, along with some plans.

Pictures...
First the Prizm.... yuck

Then the RAV... which was actually a decent car, though I only put 6k miles on it.
But it all worked out, because I got the GTI.

plans
I like the wheels it has on it currently, they're Momo Corse Ten-S with Hankook tires. It's got a K&N cold air intake. I'm planning on getting a magnaflow cat-back to bring out the sound of the car and I'm ordering a skid plate.
The first step to stance is the skid plate.
I'm also going to start looking into coilovers vs bags so I'll take any suggestions and comments.Comment

a quick dirty shopping of where I'd like the car to sit in the futureComment

I would skip the skid plate if I were you, especially if you were thinking about bagging it. The skid plate will hold you up from laying out and you'll most likely get fed up with it and ditch it

haha fair, I'm going through a little set back. Need to replace the down pipe and center muffler, but once that's set, I'm saving for manual paddle bags

well, I respect, but I dont like the wheels...Originally posted by carlostheduck View Post
first step IMO should change the wheels, there's many options, but what I like to see is BBS RS 17"..or LM's 18" with low profile tyres...or if you want 19" some rotiform would look nice on that VW

Yeah, I like RS's, I'll start looking once warmer weather comes. New England Weather sucks.Comment

gave the wheels a good shine, I think they'd look pretty decent lowered, but I'd appreciate inputComment

Update:
I bought spacers, they didn't fit. Gotta love the people at Pep Boys. I'm working on finding a euro front bumper but money's tight. Also, I want to do something uncommon. I want to run Wrangler wheels on this bitch.
Those.
I'd need to run wobble bolts too because The jeep wheels have a bit wider lug pattern, but it's possible.
