2016 VW GTI w. PP/LP/DAP Build

Excited to be back in a GTI, I bought a house, so i traded in my 2015 S4 for a 2016 hard loaded GTI! This is not my first rodeo with a GTI. I've owned a Mk5 GTI, MK6 GTI, MK4 GTI VR6. So i already knew it wasn't staying stock for long and luckily the previous owner did a Stage 1 APR tune on the car. So that saved me 600-700 dollars right off the bat

My S4


My new GTI in front of my first house

I picked the car up November 22nd, the same day I closed on my house.

Here is all that I've done already, should've started this blog/build sooner.

USP Catless downpipe, OEM Euro tails and 034 dog bone mount insert.



Next mod took too long for me to pull the trigger on. As you can probably guess, looking at my last car. The car needed to get a little closer to the earth.
I ordered some BC Racing "Extreme Low" with upgraded 10k springs in the front, and 12k in the back.




This next step was crucial. Proper detail and paint correction.

Very important in the detailing process. Rules & espresso.



It was time for some new shoes! My buddy Sparky at Cloud 9 Automotive Brand always coming in clutch with some Rotiforms!
18x9.5 et35 RSEs all around!!



At EuroTripper 5 with my homie Dan and his bagged mk7!




OEM Euro Golf R brushed mirror caps



ECS Tuning Luft-Technik Intake System. Very impressed with the product! Quality is all there, fit and finish was perfect. It sounds awesome too.

What are the tire specs on the RSEs? Any rubbing?

215/40s. Achilles. No rubbing.

How much camber up front?

Looks great, man. I'm just back in a GTI as well. So tempted to go back to coilovers, but also a trying to enjoy the factory ride height for a minute.

Also congrats on the house! I'm in the middle of a bathroom remod now, the joys of home ownership!

Do you happen to have the Black Mirror Caps still?
