Thanks, this is actually my first VW and I lurked here for quite a while before I decided to pull the trigger. Sadly, there are few forums dedicated to these cars.
Thanks, I think the first to go is those rims. Second is probably a set of eibachs (had a pair on my 240sx, nice springs) and possibly an APR k04 tuning kit as I have 5 years to decide how to smog that beast
One thing that I really noticed was the stuttering that DSG displays at a slow rolling stop. I'm wondering if there's an update to the firmware(right word?)for the clutch computer to resolve that.
Awesome!! another Fender Edition. . I have a 2.5 version! I already lowered mine on H&R's. I want to get new rims too, the ones that came on the car are somewhat desireable to other VW owners. I had a guy wanting mine, but I cant sell now cause I cant buy new ones yet.. My dealership had anoter 2.5 and a TB Fender ed last time I was there. I haven't seen many of them. Congrats!
Thanks, I'm not sure the premium they want for these things is worth it. Looks a bit classy with those disc rims but I prefer something a little more aggressive.
The only reason I picked this up over sun/sound package was the price.
Plus, you know, awesome fender badge.
I'll leave the rims on there for now and put some 35% tint on it and see how that looks.
Nice! I am planning the lowering of my 2012 as well. Only a month old and already wanting to mod. Looks like you are in the same boat. Keep us updated on what you do.
Thought I'd update with the window tint I did a few weeks ago. Wish I did something a little darker on the front, but I don't need to draw more attention to myself than I already get
You might try the beetle forum; over at vwvortex, there is allot more tech info and mod info as well. This site is good but it has its limitations, for the "new" beetle... there seems to be less activity here then at vwortex. I learned allot about the current models; from reading the threads over there.
