Title: Hi Newbie With Another Jetta
Post by: Jettair on February 06, 2013, 10:16:26 pm
Hi all been watching in the shadows for sometime, finally thought I should sign up and introduce myself..

I'm Andy from Newmarket and have owned my current car for a year, in which time it's had a few subtle changes  :wink:

It's a 2006 Jetta 2.0tdi Sport;

Mods so far...
Accuair E-Level air management
Airlift Slam Series bags
Polished tank and custom build (soon to be changed again)
Gti gearknob and surround
RNS510 (I think)  :laugh:
US spec front grill

Got plenty of other ideas in pipeline involving more chrome, new wheels, spoilers, lighting and interior.. :driver:

Welcome!!!! Another Jetta owner. :happy2: Really liking the red. We'll have to change the forum name soon, hahahahahahaha.

I still think the Jetta is one of VW's best kept secrets, but then again I am very biased.

Cheers :jumpmove:

I thought this too when I got it but I'm seeing more and more being modded, just glad there's not many spicy red ones being tinkered with, or in the direction I'm heading  :wink:

Loving the car Andy, you don't see many red Jetta's.
Are your wheels CH or CK's? I cant tell from them being black, they look lush. I am after Pescara's myself.

Ever considered fitting side skirts? I finally chased down the part numbers and got some fitted (having issues with the O/S though) VW ordered another yesterday.
If so Pg 6 on my thread

CHs, I'm looking at new wheels now.... Omanyts, edition 35s and Fat Fives  :wink:

Thought bout side skirts but like how it sits without them, but that may change if I source a GLI rear section and GTI front splitter... :jumping:
