Well as of last week we have a new VW in the family.
It was time to trade in the VZ Commodore and take ownership of a Demo 2009 jetta FSI in blue graphite with 1800kms on the clock.
So i thought been a new car and having some plans for it then i would have a crack at a build thread, although it will probably be more of a mini build thread as it is my partners every driver so we don't want to go over the top on it (I'll leave that to the bora later down the track".
So here are some photo's just after we arrived home,
Now when we first saw it in the yard my first thought's were "Damm that is way to high and needs some bigger wheels"!
So been that it is her everyday driver we decided a set of OEM 18's were in need.
So that been said when we started to negotiate with the dealer one of the requirements was to get an new set of rims put in the boot to take home for later.
So we walked over to the rim stand and chose some new 18's for the Jetta which were now to be included in the sale of the car.
I never realized just how big the boot was in a jetta until i fitted 4 18's in boxes in the boot without any problems and space left over,
Now after a couple of days of research on the forums and some helpful words from Tim at Dub Addiction and some other members i decided it was time to purchase some H&R springs.
As we didn't want to go to over the top, our thoughts were to go with a 30mm sport springs. As much as we would have loved to have gone a 50mm spring with matching shocks or even as far as a set of coilovers but when you purchase a house and try to modify 2 vw's you have to know when to control yourself.
So after ringing around and getting some prices i was about to order them when i read that i can get H&R from GTI Dave.
So a few PM's later and a great deal he had himself a sale.
"BIG SHOUT OUT" to Gti Dave for all his help and organizing to have these sent to me all whilst he was on his way to America.
Ok, so the next step is to get take off all the stuff on the car that we don't want to be on it.
