Alex's Mk5.2

[maca]

As some of you might know; I've had the privilege of getting my Open class licence last Saturday and what better way to celebrate than to get a turbo car... On the same day

Here it is: A 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0TSI






As can be seen in the final two photos, I've already started tinkering by installing my Hella projectors (which completely transforms the face), removing the number plate bracket and installing the USDM inner taillights.

Absolutely know one knows about my future mods and it's going to stay that way

congrates mate..

the interior update looks good..

look forward to seeing what you do to it...

Nice work.
Did you pick it up cheap?


Hopefully you get some other mods running on it.
And now you can hit up APR for some goodies.


Should have got a Tig

Velly Intelesting....Your car appears to be a hybrid of the MKV and MkVI.
It has the Instrument panel, steering wheel and climate control console of the MkVI but the exterior and the rest of the interior of the MKV.

Looks good Alex

I can sell you a GTI exhaust, turbo, suspension, wheels...

And how will we recognise you now if you're not in Black?

Nice ride. I picked up one of these myself this week (a 2006 model). They're great cars.

[badgerboards]

nice man you can take me for a ride.
you wont even need to entice me with candy. lol

I got to be the first person to drive this apart from Alex and his family

Apr stage 1 works well! Rides really nicely too.

Thanks guys. I have plans but as I've mentioned, I'm keeping them under wraps so you'll only know of the final product.

Trust me, I always make myself known. I always stand out from the crowd

I'll talk to you on Sunday about those parts...

So no lollipop?

Updated MK5 looks really good, dash looks great

Congrats and thanks for the pics, Alex.

For those of us with older MkVs (and TDI Jettas, haha), can you give your impression (not just first impression but once you're used to it) of the Mk6 steering wheel and dash, in terms of itgrowing on you aethetically (or not) and the usefulness of the white MFD.

Thanks - I think a new steering wheel and cluster might be good on my Jetta (along woth the highline CECM and canbus upgrades).

Now that you have this car - would you recommend the interior upgrade or does it really just feel like the old Jetta?

Should we all now guess what mods Alex is going to perform? I'll start.....something obscure....evryone will go for the stance and ECU flash....judging by the US inners I reckon he's going for the extra lighting in the inners.

Looks great Alex, interior looks neat too.

Im guessing your going bags and some VIP wheels?

[Water Boy]

Wow I thought you were getting a Skoda?

Did you pick thi uo brandnew?

And where is the 3rd pedal?

Looks fresh...
