I'm young (17) and don't have the money to have a really cool car, but I've done a few things to my 04 Passat GLX 1.8T:
-lowered 1.25 all round
-17" Audi 5 spokes (I know, Audi wheels on a VW)
-upgraded to slotted/drilled rotors
-Euro-style front bumper/headlight switch for aftermarket Audi-style HIDs
-Small mud flaps
-Have a cool little spoiler that I need to sand, prime, and paint
I want something that's economical, cheap, can be fun, and and good for carrying stuff, and this fills the "carrying stuff" category... Won't say how it fulfills the other 3 XD
I'm a big fan of the German stuff, dad has an '87 Porsche 944 Turbo with a few performance mods and we plan on restoring two Porsche 914s: one to stock and another with a 911 engine, possibly turbocharged. Steel flares, leather interior, Ruf wheels, the whole 9 yards.
