Ive had the car for almost 3.5 years now. Figured I'd share the journey here as well.

March 2010:
I picked up her up:
2006 BMP GTI 6 spd. w/ 29,986 miles
Day One Stock Mode 4x4 by Rus.K, on Flickr
Like everyone else, I tried to keep her stock for a while but didn’t last long. It started with small simple mods: White smiley, White VW emblem, Yellow fogs, Color Matched side markers.
October 2010:
I thought this was the lowest I would ever want to go… Picked up some HR Super Sport Springs and Bilstien Shocks and Struts.

November 2010:
She sat like this all throughout winter:
**Winter Setup**
IMG_0094 by Rus.K, on Flickr
Not having any money being a college student, I needed something to tide me over. Decided to DIY paint my huffs white with gloss black inserts like the “new” Detroits.
June 2011:
IMG_0363 by Rus.K, on Flickr
DSC_0294 by Rus.K, on Flickr
This didn’t last long and ended up being the start to a long and endless pursuit to finding the right set of wheels. Two weeks later I found a set of OEM Mercedes Monoblock Areo 1’s on craigslist.
June 2011:

DSC_0150 by Rus.K, on Flickr
DSC_0105 by Rus.K, on Flickr
I also finally got some Euro R32 Tails to clean up the rear a bit:
IMG_0448 by Rus.K, on Flickr
August 2011:
Found another set of wheels on Craigslist and thought I would give them a try. I had never seen these before on a MKV and thought it could be unique. Audi Excalibur wheels 17x7.5. et.45
IMG_0693 by Rus.K, on Flickr
September 2011:
Picked up a Rep Votex Front Lip:
IMG_0712 by Rus.K, on Flickr
September 2011:
Finally found my Dream set of wheels! Staggered REAL BBS LM’s. 17x8/9
Had to do a bit of refinishing but finally got them looking good enough to ride around on.
IMG_0863 by Rus.K, on Flickr
With wheels like these, you need to be a bit lower…
Picked up some 8380 coils:

November 2011:
With snow starting to hit the ground, I needed to find a new winter setup. Found some OEM VW Salamanca's off a brand new 2012 Golf.
IMG_1257 by Rus.K, on Flickr
Decided I liked the Murdered out look for winter so I plasti-dipped the Samalacas flat black:
Top of Main: Park City, UT by Rus.K, on Flickr
DSC_0179 by Rus.K, on Flickr
DSC_0403 by Rus.K, on Flickr
Again she stayed like this through winter…
Over winter working two jobs I was able to get her completely paid off and had a bit left over to spend on the ride. Color Matched Lowers! I feel like this cleans up our cars a TON.
April 2012:
Borrowed my buddies wheels for a bit. Audi B7 Titanium’s Powder Coated Candy White. 18x8 et.43 all around:
New Park: Park City, UT by Rus.K, on Flickr
39th Main: Salt Lake City, UT by Rus.K, on Flickr
39th Main2: Salt Lake City, UT by Rus.K, on Flickr
Rode like this for a couple months, but then eventually had to give back those beautiful Titaniums. But with Wuste right around the corner, I had to switch things up a bit.
May 2012:
This is how she sits today:
210 E & Central Ave by Rus.K, on Flickr
210 S & Central Ave: Salt Lake City, UT by Rus.K, on Flickr
July 2012:
Had a run in with a deer, luckily didnt to any major damage. Took over a week to get the adjuster out to see the car
