337 GTI: How it started.

Figured it was time for a build thread of my own...

I picked up my 337 in the Fall of 2010.... pretty much stock aside from a carbon fiber hood, Bilstein/Neuspeed cupkit, Intake, Neuspeed Chip, Forge 007 DV, Euroswitch and an Alpine sound system.

How she looked the day I bought her:

First order of business was to reinstall the stock hood and give the whole car a nice detail. Bought some FK coilovers and installed the winter steelies. Rode out the winter like this:

I got tired of the scratches on the center console, so I decided to wrap it with 3M Di-Noc vinyl. Did the front grill as well, but don't have pics.

Also had the interior headliner wrapped in black with a little Burberry twist. Had the headlights joey modded at the same time.

Come spring time, the shot-peened RC's were re-installed:

Had Boily hook up a nice photoshoot to start of the season nice!

Eventually traded the RC's for some Corvette C5 wheels. The RC's were nice, just weren't wide enough for my liking. At the same time I did the rear wiper delete and soon after had the front end repainted to get rid of all those rock chips and my cracked lip. Color matched the side markers then and there.

Then came winter once again... This time on some OEM VW hubcaps:

Halfway through winter, the FK's started getting really soft... so I order a set of KW V2's, quality suspension.

Picked myself up a set of Miro STP-1's for the 2012 season and BAM! This is how the car currently sits:
