Was this your car at the VW Nationals?

Yep, that's me. I missed out on prepping it properly for the show, so it was a little dirty and had a few things wrong with it still - will have it there in all its glory next year though!

Your car is OEM+

That's exactly what I'm going for.

* Bilstein PSS9 suspension (not wound down too low).
* VW R-Line wheels (17" version of the Aristos, VW Factory option so they're OEM).
* R32 brakes front and rear (OEM).
* EBC RedStuff (Ceramic) pads about to go on.
* Stainless Steel brake lines.
* 23mm front sway bar (OEM).
* Airbox from European DSG-equipped R32 (OEM).
* R32 steering wheel (gearshift just needs to be installed) (OEM).
* R32 pedal set (thanks Trent!) (OEM).
* R32 floor mats paid for (just need to pick them up) (OEM).
* Blue Haldex Controller (about to be replaced with Competition controller...) (OEM-enough).
* UNIbrace (this thing is awesome, it's the least-OEM part I have).

Bora V6 4Motion badging is removed from the rear, the only badging on the car is the VW badges front and rear and the lone V6 badge in the grill.

Things I need to fix:

* Stone chips on bonnet.
* Headlights are starting to get UV damaged. Will probably replace with projectors, still trying to find a set of OEM RHD projectors (if anyone know what market they were sold in with this option, please let me know!), otherwise I'll go with something decent available locally.
* Drivers door hinge has dropped a bit, door rubs on the rubbing strip inside the door sill. Need to get hinge replaced.
* Both rear wheels have some damage on them (Sorry Snowy!). Getting them repaired as well.

I also have a set of Bora Sports sitting in storage - I'll be throwing a set of KU36 tyres on them sometime shortly, hoping to start doing some track days etc in the not-too-distant future.

What about TM Tunings OEM HIDs? Expensive but would be worth it...

**Manaz** · 10-06-2010, 03:22 PM

Expensive, but they are an option that I do have sitting in the back of my head. I'm pretty sure in all my reading of the ADRs that self-levelling is required (easy enough, I already have the motors in the headlights, just need to add the sensors from an R32), but washers I don't believe actually are an ADR requirement.
