MkIV jetta progress thread(pic heavy)

[MkIVconnor]

Some of you may have seen my car from the introductions thread but for those who don't..this is my 2000 jetta gls vr6 5spd. So far the progress made is minimum but much more to come in the upcoming months.
First day I got the car. Stoooock


First thing was a set of wheels. TT fate fives

Plasti dipped them gunmetal greay


Ditched the xenon lights from eBay shortly after that picture
At fresh meet in Camden with Plasti dipped rood and mirrors

Got a roof rack from my brothers e36 m3


Wrapped interior in plaid


Ditched the dipped wheels way better IMO


Tinted headlights yellow(not for everyone) and installed fogs

Chopped shifter. Much better feel now


That's all the progress I made so far. Next order of business,coilovers. Feels like I'm driving a monster truck. Let me know what you think

Get a real short shifter, stop with the plastidip, lose the obnoxious hids and yellow tint and fog lights. My thoughts.

Hid we're put on by p/o and taken off within a week of me owning the car. Me cutting the shift was for a more sport feel. Stock jetta shifter sits pretty high and is uncomfortable with armrest. Plastidip is gone on wheels,roof waiting to be vinyled.

so this happened.

Nice drop! I like those wheels also (without the plastidip).

[MkIVconnor]

quick update. fog lights were stolen straight from my car... so back to tow hook setup again. oh and this happened some imperfections but they will be sorted tomorrow

Went with Racland ultimos so far so good put 1k miles on them and they are still riding the same. The fat fives have ?/45/r17 tires on them cant remeber the width off the top of my head

Lol, how did I know you went with ebay coils. Youre killing the cheap horrible mod game.
