Well I think it is about time I hopped on the build thread bandwagon. I am mostly just going to post photos copied from my build thread on my local forums until the most recent updates.
My goal for this car is mainly: simple and classy.
As always comments/criticism/ideas are all welcome.
Arrived via truck from Illinois March of 08 with approx. 13,000 miles.
Searching on the internet it was the only one with exactly what i wanted:
2007 (slightly used, cheaper)
Black Magic Pearl
5 doors
DSG (was going to go 6 speed manuel, but a faster-than-human computerized dual-clutch transmission was too tempting)
Moon roof
Interlagos Plaid interior
Classix wheels
Tinted the windows, threw a yakima roof rack on, also some r-line fog grilles
plasti-dipped the roof rack fairing, color-matched my side markers (DIY), and got my A4 wheels on for winter.
looking at the side profile you can probably guess what the next mod was.
