Here is my 2006 Volkswagen GLI, 6MT. Got her on August 29th of last year and so far I have a 2.5" AWE Tuning Catback, and Eibach Sportlines. I installed the springs last weekend and absolutely love them. Next on deck is a 3" GHL catted downpipe, power gains will be pretty nice and it'll have a nice rumble to it. And the pics...http://img.tapatalk.com/6362d35e-419b-ad09.jpg
Fresh off the lot, by 30 minutes

Exhaust has been on for a month at this point and absolutely loved it, still to this day.

Pretty nice car to have at 18, congrats. My first car was a GTI and I was in the same boat, not enough money to do much until I was about 19-20 then I went on a nice spending spree.

A few questions though.
1. why a cat'd downpipe? I'd get a test pipe (non brand name, any test pipe will do) and an ECU flash (GIAC). In my honest opinion, name brand exhausts for VW's are the biggest waste of money.
2. Where are your center caps?

Shadowline, tint, and a nice set of wheels and she'll be set.


Mainly the shadowline, lol.

Needs more non-stylized full body shot pictures. I can't tell where the stock starts and the modding begins based on what you've displayed. No one will break their neck to look at your shots, so please orient them properly before posting.

From what I can see, it's clean. I like this and the couple previous generations of Jetta pretty well. I would have thought this much newer than 2006, but come to think of it, the generation after yours took a swan dive into safe/bland and hasn't come up for air since.

#1, my parents wont let me go catless, it kinda sucks but ill deal with it. I'm buying a used GHL DP and it's just catted. And I'm probably going Unitronic as they will unflash and reflash for free when I need to go to the dealer, so that's nice! But I'm doing my upgrades one bit at a time!

I'm doing this all on my phone, so it's a little hard. I'll try to up my game.

Funny answer, but fair enough. That'll be a quick car.

And it's 10x better when my dad suggests things I need to do... like I need an excuse to spend money on my car. He last suggested wheels, but I think I'll get my classix powdercoated and then indulge elsewhere...
