Summary of the car:
I got my GTI last October in pretty bad shape. It hadn't been washed in ages, had a rear main seal leak, a bad throttle body, and tons of things just plain out 'missing'. About a year later and about 50 germanautoparts.com orders later, its finally in decent shape.

Comments:
Future plans in the works: Euro plate to cover the marks on my new bumper, 2.9'ed polished/painted intake mainfold, intake, smoked e-codes, new side skirts, and smoked fogs/turns. I'll be refinishing the wheels over the winter when i have steelies/snows on. Also possibly coilovers depending on how much longer my current setup lasts.
Thanks to the Gravers for being my personal VW technicians!
