a pic of the Jetta

[Blackened302]

cool, man! i'm really liking the mk5's, especially the 2-door gti's. it's honestly tempting not to buy one now that i'm looking for another project car (stang is being picked up saturday ).

i don't know what wheels they are -- they do look like those on the r8, though.

let's see your vdub!

I struggled to get this one pic. Out of focus because i was shaking after the gym.

I need some 20 percetn tint and HIDs. I have a friend who will get me HIDs at cost, so that will get done this year.

this is the company that makes all the audi replica wheels.

Where did you order yours?

I have some pretty interesting taste when it comes to what wheels I like for the jetta. I love the wheels on your car, but I also like the G5 wheels, the jetta GLI wheels with the 5 circles and the a8 19s. believe it or not, I have seen those on a GTI and they look SIIICK

nice! silver is a sweet color.

are you talking about the Huff wheels?

love the look -- and that's stock, too! just needs a drop and some spacers, imho.

took a look at that wheel site you posted -- my wheels definitely look like r8 rip-offs, though not 100% (mainly where he spoke mets the circumference). they were already on the car when i got it, but i had to order a replacement since one, actually 2, were bent. got it from wheelmax.com -- closest i could find to my rip-offs.

the HID's are gonna make a huge difference, especially if they're in a projector housing w/ a cut-off. i'm thinking about pulling mine apart to 1. paint the silver rings inside them, and 2. to lessen the sharp angle of the Euro cut-off -- seems a little too extreme.

yes, honestly i just want the HUFFs

I dont know why i like them but i do.

check out this craziness with the g5s

rs8s

and b7 rs4

That looks mean Paul. I'm sad to hear that your stang is being sold though.

If I had a VW, these are definitely the wheels that I'd have on it. They look sick!

 

[95snoozer]

they are 19s and look so much better. I wish someone would make the Huffs in 19s

Oh no, I just found a company that makes them... now I am cursed with knowing my dream is out there waiting to be plucked.

I would want the circles in black though, not gunmetal

Thanks, Paul -- i'm said to see it go.. i'd love to keep it, but I can't afford to have 4 cars and pay insurance on all of them. there are a few things that i'd change if i would've kept it, but i'm really looking forward to a new project -- maybe a Cervini C500?


that white Golf w/ the rs4's looks s1ck! but i would be satisfied w/ the Huffs, even in 18's. i'm really considering getting an mk5 Golf in the near future -- if i could find a black one w/ stock HID's and 18" Huffs, i'd be really happy.

since Jimmi brought this thread up to me, here's an update -- hid goodness (euro cut-off):

got the lower grills + fog light kit, and ditched the horrid angel eyes:

output of just the fogs:

also bought a replacement front bumper (the tabs that hold the lip up to the stocker were broken so the lip was sagging on both sides) for $65 new in box yesterday @ a local salvage parts place -- fitment is about 98% perfect and the lip is already molded on! pics of that after i have it painted.

Good god man...that is some light. You trying to get a plane to land on the street?

Sorry your selling the stang but it sounds like you have plenty of toys to keep you busy.

I have to say some of those Vdubs are well done. Would not mind getting a 1.8T golf/jetta/passat (pissant I like to call them) or a TDI of some kind. An uncle has like 3 or 4 TDI's one well I guess its not a TDI since it was before they had a turbo. I have always kinda wondered if he would let one go cheap-ish as a DD/beater/small project?
