Hey everyone!
Thought I'd start logging the few mods I have planned for my new 2017 GTI sport. This is my first brand new car and, despite my awful experience with my VW dealership, I am very happy with the GTI. My grand plan is to start with cosmetic mods/small "performance" upgrades before moving to bigger performance mods
This little car has really impressed me. It brings back memories of my first car, a BMW E30 318i coupe. I look forward to many fun miles ahead!
