My MKV Jetta Build

AugieR · 06-25-2012, 05:07 PM

Hello My name is Augie and I currently live in MD. I have an MKV Jetta 2.5. This is the 1st car ive had that was actually worth putting money into. When i bought the car i knew nothing about cars and never pictured myself buying a VW but I did. Again i know nothing about cars especially VW's when I started modding only what ive seen in fast and furious and need for speed underground

so needless to say in the beginning the car turned out hideous but I learned as I got more into it and met knew people and the car has turned out really good so far (to me at least).I have a few things left on my list to complete but that will all come in time.

The pics are all cosmetic mods I do have some performance mods but no pics of them they include so far:
Intake,Exhaust,Test Pipe, and a flash. My project for the winter is to squeeze some more power of this while keeping it NA. I wont get much more out of it without going to crazy but every little bit counts.

The inerior is stock for now I dont have much planned for that besides a new OEM Head unit,Seats, and a few little other odds and ends.

The plan for the exterior is full Votex kit, Air, and a set of show worthy wheels.

Here are the Pics they go from stock to current

When I got her full stock (Not a big fan of the bright red tail lights those bright red taillights)

Tinted the tail lights and got a blacked out badge

Ordered some headlights (don't know what i was thinking)

Then got a badgless GTI grille set up

Got a set of 18" Katana wheels ( I wanted to got for a black and white theme)

Installed some Euro LED tail lights in black housings also got black side markers

Here are 3 more failed grilles though the last one wasnt bad just didnt wanna do the notch fill

Along with this grille I went back to OEM Style headlights with Black housings

Some lowering springs, trunk lip spoiler and exhaust

Picked up some Borbet Type Ts wheels

Went back to the OEM rear badge and OEM Dark Cherry tail lights and took off the trunk lip spoiler

Smoked Mirror Turn Signal lenses and OEM wolfsburg grille

and This is how she looks as of today with coils installed

What kind of exhaust did you get? The AWE one sounds like a Gallardo. It's incredible.

Saw your build over on S:N and I approve of that headlight swap, the aftermarket ones looked way off not meant for the clean lines of this car, in for some new wheels and more slammage. Wifes car ain't looking that bad either these days

DannyE32 · 08-23-2012, 09:20 AM

very clean. And i know is not too low, but still looks very nice.

AugieR · 08-23-2012, 09:32 AM
