Hi guys, thought I would introduce myself a bit and stick some photos up of my car;
Got it at the start of 2012 as a standard 1.6fsi Jetta SE. (It was between this and the 1.9tdi, unfortunately insurance was the decider, being literally twice as much on the diesel)

2 weeks after i got the car id put a US grille on the front, Coilovers on, and a set of 18x8&9 TSW Holstens

I had always planned to put the car on air, but obviously that took a bit of saving so I stuck the coil overs on as a temp measure.
This is how the car now stands, full Airlift V2 kit, GTI interior, 18x8 ABT A10 split rims.

Plans with the car are on hold for the time being as I've just been made redundant at work and finding a job is proving difficult, noone replies to applications, even just to say you weren't successful, hopefully find something soon though!
In the mean time, if anyone fancies helping a mk5'er out and liking this photo, i could be in with some luck this month haha!
