VW GLI Progress Update

Posted in Automotive, Images, VW GLI on April 26th, 2009

Ah, sorry for the lack of updates. I'm a tad slow, in that regard. Anyway, I've been working on a few things. My first little project is my car. Since I got my car, I've been working on getting my car to look exactly like I'd like. Mostly thinking about different things I wanted to do to my car. Then I saw the following car:

Red GLI

(I honestly can't remember who's car it is so if the owner sees this, let me know so I can give you credit)

It's an excellent looking car. It's classy and not too flashy. It's lowered to an excellent height, although I'm not sure if the car would survive in New England. My buddy, Brian Roy, put his Photoshop skills to work and whipped it up to match my car's color.

Platinum Gray GLI with Euro Grille

I have already ordered the grille pieces to replace my current honeycomb grille. While I enjoy the honeycomb grille (it is extremely aggressive looking), I think the Euro style grill from the pictures above is a tad more classy. The ride height will be coming later in the future. I haven't decided if I'll be getting a new set of wheels as I like the huff blades.

Note: I did recently see that PGJetterFTW from VW Vortex has a similar setup. It looks great.

I do think, after the grille, the Euro taillights will be my next purchase. I think they look really good. I'm disappointed that they aren't included in the states stock but I guess it happens. It'll take a little work and a VagCom unit but should be pretty nice looking. I'll definitely post updates as soon as the grille pieces come in.
