Jetta Makeover

[Boon]

Bought my 06 Jetta TFSI a month ago and unfortunately have found various issues which needed fixing (wheels 30-40% thread, gutter rash on wheels, leaking front shocks, CV boot on the way out, lipped front rotors). Not sure how the previous owner got a road worthy but anyways, this has given me the opportunity to have a mini makeover without any questions from the other half

Plan
1. New wheels - 18 detroits (fitted)
2. Coilovers - HPA SHS, done
3. CV boot - done
4. New RDA slotted rotors all round aka Jmac
5. Bluefin - done
6. Eurosport Tuning intake - done
7. RCS510 - pending
8. Upgraded DV - pending

Now for some pics:
Before


After new wheels


With coilovers


Will post more proper pictures after the rest is done

wheels are a big improvement, some lows will help! but looks like you have that sorted
what colour is the car? looks to dark or wheaty in the photos to be silver?

[Boon]

what colour is the car?

Wheat beige. Can look quite dark or light depending on light. Don't know many wheat beige jettas being modded so happy to be special

[Jmac]

Detroits really suit that, be nice when dunked a bit. Nice work so far, what i seen tonight in the dark was a lot of cleaning effort FTW.
Cheers
Jmac

Superchips installed and it is awesome! Can't wait for ther other parts to arrive and get installed.

Thinking of changing my front grill to a black one. Can't decide on a design. Any ideas?

g'day Boon,

I didn't realise that you bought a Jetta till I read your post.
The part you bought was sent on wednesday, you'll receive it just after easter I reckon.

It's a bit of a pain in the a$$ to install, took me around 2hrs to do.
There's a bit of info on the net about what tools you need.

Patience and a nice light source under the car is also highly recommended.

All the best with your mods, looks great already!

Car looks great! The wheels have made a huge difference already, I can't wait to see it low!

Depends on what you want. I have the Wolfsburg grill on my car and it suits quite well, but I also reckon the GTI grill would look good. I have both here if you're wanting to try them on before you commit to anything Oh and I'd love to hear your filter when you get it, I'm still undecided as to what to get. Oh and you'll definitely have to come along to a meet/cruise one day soon, we need more Jetta rep

Here's a pic of my Wolfsburg grill:

Hey maca. Would love to see your car and have a look with the front grills. Hopefully all will be installed in the next few weeks but bluefin just flashed and i'm loving it.

Anytime buddy, just hit me up via PM and we'll sort something out. Flashing it is like buying a completely new car, isn't it? I love it so much more now and I'm sure you agree it's probably the best thing you can do to your car
