Mk6 country

Ok all I am sure this is going to throw some people off but let's start from the beginning. This is my second build thread.... same car.

You all may remember this


Bagged, wheel whore, dipped (still is) 2.5l golf

Well it was fun for a bit but impractical for a daily driver after a few blown bags, and constant headaches I reverted back to stock



for about a year. But then I got bored.

So now I have begun going more for the golf country approach. (If you don't know what I'm talking about Google it) as of now I have lifted the car two inches using tiguan springs as a direct replacement for stock springs and put 215/70/15 yokohama geolandar A/T tires on the stock steelies with a 20 mm spacer in the rear





Then I wired up a light bar on my cargo rack


Other things that will soon be happening include but are not limited too... trimming fenders so I can put a spacer on fronts (currently rubs if I have spacer on front), fender flares, rally lights on a bull bar on front bumper, trailer hitch, rally style mud flaps, additional lift, bigger tires, dip color change

Now let's get things out of the way....

I know it's front wheel drive..
I know it's a 2.5l golf
I'm not trying to drive a rally car I'm just doing things differently and making my car look cool and more practical in the same time
once winter comes ground clearance will no longer be an issue with snow.


Also even though this I believe is in my old build thread
Motor mods include
C2 Intake manifold
C2 tune
Pflo intake
R8 coil packs
Gti exhaust
Custom vta oil catch can

Looks just like a Tiguan lol. Not my style but def a+ for creativity.

I'm digging how different this build is going to be. You should be able to get your mountain bike to the better back country trailheads now.

Nothing Leaves Stock near me just did a mk5 golf country. I was in their shop having stuff done to my car when they first got the AWD swap working. Are you going to do an AWD swap eventually?

If money allows it one day I would love it but it's not in the near future, but maybe one day

I actually like it and can't wait to see what else you do with it.

I like the idea! Have fun with it man!

I like it and see lots of potential. +1 for functional height!!

Little update for the day

Installed a Curt hitch
As well as rally style mudflaps from a small company called rokbloks

The front flaps are gonna take some modifying to make work due to the lack of clearance I have on the wheel well, when I turn. They rub but for now ive got the rears on

This is an awesome concept man! Another bolt on lift that would probably get you another 1-1.3 inches would be the H&R lift kit for Tiguan. Curious to see how far you do end up going with this, would really like to see flares and go even bigger.

I like how you're doing a lifted golf and I lowered my tig, all about being different!

Looks good! liking the different approach of this. What is the original color of the car? out of curiosity.

Where on Long Island? I'm kinda a fan of the rally status on this one hahah
