    Looks great Phil, now you just gotta get the tinted r32 lights to complete the look!

    Wish the GTIs came in a blue, I would of gone for that but red is a close second.

    very nice, Phil! I personally like it better then Subaru, and the main reason, just having a though of having horisontal radiator to me is like brushing your teeth through your a$$hole...:yikes:it's just not right, I don't care who you are.
    I really like this VW, and you picked a lovely color for it.

    Ken,

    I'm looking for $2500 for the wheels.

    I pretty much had them at the show and then they came off after the show.

    They are sitting in the office now.

    First the Subaru for a week, then this thing for a week, and already gone again? Damn! You must be making a profit off these things, I know you are mate!

    I hope someone on the forum here buys the BBS goodness!!!

    I only wish I was making a profit. I broke even on the sti so I saw the opportunity to dump it when I could.

    at the end of the day I'm a German car guy.

    As for the r32 like it but don't love it no offense to anyone who owns one, too bad this wasn't a GTI with the turbo and awd and 6 speed manual in 4 door :) -- wouldn't that be a great car to drive.


    Well I promise I will keep the next car.
