Nice to see another jetta on here!!

All red rears:-


Xenon style headlights & colour coded chrome:-


Loving the landrover rims!! I've got a few sets of rims - VW phaeton champions & AMG 18" split rims. And mine is so low I've had to put a strip of wood at the bottom of the driveway at my parents to get it up the drive!!

Cheers guys, I'd love some xenons it's just the price that's putting me off! Might go gti lights for next year and thinkin of having the front end smoothed. Are the all red rears gli? I'm thinkin of gettin some 19's soon. Keep a low arch gap but raise her off the ground as I can only turn right out of my street as if u go left I get stuck on humps  :sad1:

They aren't real xenons - they are fake Depo ones - bought off eBay for £220. Still use the std h7 bulbs too

Had mine since last October. It's also got a back box delete, modded airbox & nuts remap to 185bhp!! Handles well, goes great and does 61mpg. Cruise control retro fitted, brakes upto 312mm, on coilovers, heko wind deflectors. I bought it to replace a Touran and a Fabia Vrs.

that sounds mint! I want the remap but scared of breaking clutch and turbo.
I have already have cruise control and auto lights. I got the hk highsport coilovers for comfort I just need to raise the rear abit.
modded airbox?? can you explain may b my next step.

mine are 20mm all-round but I would suggest 25 or 30 on the rear to fill out but you will need to do the archs

Take top of airbox off, rip out the guts in there - better airflow - plus sounds better. Drop in a k&n. Job done!!
Still on original clutch and flywheel at 77k. Turbo is doing fine also. Depends on how you drive them. Don't give then big beans at low revs, swop the oil feed and return for a dark developments parts (better design than the hard vw parts) plus use long life oil - but change it every 8000 miles. Keep things running as they should.
