Hi everyone! Decided to start a build thread. I bought my 2012 GTI with 18XXX miles on it in June 2015 for $21k. It is a base with convenience package but no nav, precious owner removed the nav for the vw 7inch radio. The only other thing done to it by the previous owner was putting Nexen SU1 tires on it which I am still using. I am currently Cobb stage 2 (Stock Maf) 93 since August 2016.
June 2015- When I bought the car. I went into the dealership right when it opened on the first day the car was available for test drive. My old car is the cobalt.
July 2015- Got my first ticket with the car for having no front plate. Bought a toe hook license plate bracket. My dad scratched my bumper trying to tightening the the bolt more since it wasn't hold the plate properly. The plate is currently being hold on by a zip tie and the bracket.
August 2015- my first "mod" was removing the 7inch radio for a pioneer headunit. There was no bluetooth with the previous radio so I replaced it.
November 2015- I purchased my first set of winter tires ever. Yokohama IceGuard.
February 2016 I purchased Nuespeed discharge and aircharge pipes.
March 2016- I tuned my GTI with the Cobb Accessport. Stage 1 High Boost 93.
June 2016- I bought an Eurojet catless downpipe. (Was installed in August 2016) Also bought a GFB DV (Not pictured).
July 2016- Bought and installed Nuespeed Intake, NGK spark plugs, and R8 coils.
February 2017- Purchased B&G coilovers, 3SDM 0.05 wheels, and Mevius Lug Bolts. (I need a new center cap for my wheels, one is the wrong color and hub rings) Both were just installed. I will take better pictures when I wash the car and the weather is better. There is a 1 finger gap between the wheel and the fender. Will probably go lower soon.
Upcoming mods for this year:
Sway bars
Mounts
Thanks for reading!
