Hey guys and gals,
When I first bought my GTI in July of 2011, I had the intention on leasing it for a few years and handing the keys back at the end of the lease. I never drove any vehicle with a manual transmission until this one. My plans changed real quick once I realized just how much I fell in love with this car and I decided to keep it after the 3-year lease. I've had some tough times along the way, but I gotta say I still absolutely love this car after 6 years and 90,000 miles! I slowly started to modify this car after my 60,000 power-train warranty expired and I've loved every second of it. I eventually plan on going k04 at some point...Here is a list of all of my modifications:
