The misses VW JSW wagon

[20rabbit08]

The wife doesn't have an account so I figured I get her build thread up and running since this is the car we'll be working on more over the summer.

Sorry, not many pics of it stock





First thing she did was pick up my fk coilovers I had from my mkv. Also she picked up a set of 18" super rs's

[20rabbit08]

After rolling like that for a few months, she wanted to go to more of a oem+ look so she sold the supers and picked up a set of helio's. I'm jealous because I'm been eyeballing that wheel for years but could never find a set when I had the $$$









Also entered a contest for a free air ride setup . Didn't win but it was fun none the less to do the shoot and who knows, she might be picking up air anyway sooner then later



That gets us up to date. I'm sure they'll be more to come. Maybe we can update this with a air build up soon

clean and simple requirements for only the best VWs.

i **** the way those cars look, just in general nothing you did. they look like hideous minivans. you're making it look better though. def put some wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide wheels on and roll'n'pull imo

[CBREEZ]

In this case the oem+ look was by by far the better decision!!!! Looks so much better with the helios...

To each his own, they're definitely a love them or **** them kind of car

Thanks, yeah, she definitely improved the look going to the oem style I think also.

We also took it to ikea a couple weeks back to pick up a couch. Even with all the room the wagon has, we still had to strap it to the roof. Imagine us driving down the D.C. beltway going 50mph in the right lane with a couch on the roof. Wasn't pretty! but we made it home in one piece

That is exactly what my girl wants for a car. Looks good by the way

I hope to someday find a female who is a car lover... I'm jealous.

Love the wagon, is it a 2.5 or a TDi?

[20rabbit08]

lol, it is a good life, I won't lie

Its a 2.5l, We wanted a TDI but couldn't justify the extra $8000 the dealer wanted.

pic with my images on. We might be painting the images standard gray and running them this year on the wagon.

really like the images on there. not a huge fan of the front cover thing, but to each his own haha

[20rabbit08]

yeah, the bra is really for running around town or on drives. Most of the miles put on the car are highway miles, A lot of the time behind larger trucks so it's really for protecting the front from rock chips. Most times though, whenever we get to where we're going, it comes off.

What about car-wrapping the front (clear coat)? Wouldn't look so ugly and save you the work of putting the bra off and on again.

[20rabbit08]

We thought about that or a "clear bra". They look great for the first year but after that you start to see the seem line and can't stand the way that looks. This comes off right after we hit wherever we're going and you'd never know it was on.

[mule.]

makes sense, I'm not a fan of when you can see the clear line either.. between the two I'd take the bra too

That's what she wanted.............Didn't say that's what I wanted I want the helios on mine but it would require tearing back apart the images and getting them resprayed.
