My car has been undergoing some changes lately, just in time for the white stuff.

Here's the list of recent changes:
- Metalnerd 2" lift
- Springs from a 2004 Jetta GLI VR6 (front color code: 2 blue/2 white, rear color code 3 green/1 silver)
- Koni Special Reds (rears are longer wagon version to help avoid topping out) at factory full soft setting
- 205/70/15 Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi snow tires on Avus rims (summer tires will likely be 215/60/16 for a very similar diameter). Stock size was 205/55/16.
- Final lift (suspension and tire) numbers: 3.25 inches up front, 4 inches in back.

You may also notice my damaged front valance and bumper. This was thanks to a hay bale that had fallen onto the highway and that I was unable to avoid due to traffic circumstances. The 65 mph impact cracked the valance, wrecked the pass. side foglight, screwed up the plate bracket and put tons of spider cracks into the bumper cover. I'm thinking a Turbo S bumper may find its way onto my car sometime soon.
