Agreed, thanks.

I saw a black TDI like yours, but no tinted window.

But I should of known it wasn't tinted and I didn't get that gangsta feeling from looking at it.

Re: Oil burnin' hauler - wife's new DD

Finally got the RS3 style grill on the car last night. Went on pretty easy, only one bolt on each side was a pita to get to.

Not a huge difference but a nice subtle upgrade, and less chrome! I put the plates on after dark. Had to run and get better screws.

Here is a comparison of the old (with plate) and new:


And a couple installed pics: Car is super dirty, but we are going out of town next week with it... cant convince myself to wash off the water spots.






We also took the car to the Stevens Point area the week before last, and averaged 44-45 mpg!

That grill looks killer on there. I like that the badge is chrome with the outlines of the fogs. Gives it a really good look.

Sexy!! It does need a drop. Nothing major, maybe just some springs. The car is really getting better and better.
