What series/class autocross do you want to run?
Looking at your hoped-for mods, you are going to be running with big guns. I intend to run SCCA G-Stock only with the GTI.

the suspension mods will be bought individually but all done at once for the most part.... im gonna stick to g stock as long as i can to learn the car more.. i think the rule book said i can change 1 sway bar....but like i said, i might just pile all the parts in a corner and do it all at once this summer...

ordered tyrolsport SSBB kit and 42DD shifter bushing kit... last "small" mod in the phase one list is the euro cup holder... after that gonna start saving for springs, koni yellows, and euro led tails..... hoping santa brings a V1 with all the toys for it, but i doubt it..

Looks good, the LED tails will soon be a nice touch as well. How do the yellow fog lights look with the headlights on as well. Debating this on my black pearl... The white from the stock fogs and xenon's looks a little weird. Ordered the smoked side markers from P4E, hopefully they look as good as yours.

you can see them if your looking for them but they arent very noticable in the car.. got my side markers from urotuning.. ya the LED tails are definitely needed!!
