Des: Your car's da bomb! Especially the Sunset Wheels!
Do you have the Up Chip Yet? If not do yourself a favor and go Rocket Chip. I turned my old Up Chip and got the RC STAGE 3 Euro software...really woke the car up and alot less smoke!
And that's with PP520 injector nozzles too!
Sweet ride..especially those wheels and the color!

Aero wipers have the metal spring inside the rubber frame. Autozone demands $20 per, which is $10 less than the Valeo versions.

Both? Check the sig. Have three! Just need to port Milen's photos over.

Otherwise, not much else to report. Has over 43k on it as of today, running like the champ she is.

NICE TDI!!!

But then again, I am biased.

Hey when you added the GLI SW, did it take the GLI specific airbag? I am not up to date on my airbag knowledge.

This maybe a late reply (years perhaps!) but that car was good. With installations of some good car parts like Bosch and TDI, that looks very slicky and much more presentable on my thoughts. Hope that all is well by now as the years goes by about this car.
