Hi! Welcome to my journal.
My wife and I picked up our first Vdub on Friday! It's a 2016 Tungsten Silver Metallic Golf S 1.8Tsi. We opted for 5 doors, 5 speed manual and black interior. We traded in her baby, a 2011 BMW 335i XDrive.
I'll be using the Golf ("Golfy" as the wife likes to call it) for my 50-mile-round-trip work commute 3 days a week. The wife will be ramming around with our 2.5 yo pitbull when I'm not hogging the car to myself.
I don't plan on going too crazy with mods; more of an OEM+ driver, but thought I'd start a journal for anyone who wants to follow along.
I'll work on getting some better pics as well...
Pickup day, finally!! 11/27/15...7 miles on the odometer:
Harvey approves [emoji41]
Finally home! It's the small victories that count: no front plates after numerous requests to the dealer!
Tonight I finally had time to clean the monster mats, debadge the rear hatch and plastidip the emblems to see if I liked the blacked out look.
Before:
After:
And blacked out:
That's all for now! More to come [emoji4][emoji629]
And here we go!
