"I'm
not going to mod it" were the words uttered when this car
was first purchased a few years ago. The GLI being the epitomy
of the Jetta mark, coated in that candy Tornado red paint, made
for a beautiful sight off the showroom floor. Naturally it would
make sense to attempt to preserve it's original luster for as
long as possible and not spoil it with overzealous modification.
While
the philosophy has remained the same, the car has not. A little
less than a week into ownership the first small modifications
to the car came in the form of a stubby roof antenna, then clear
sidemarkers. Surely these simple changes did not compromise the
original nature of the vehicle? Ultimately this was only the tip
of the iceberg. A fitting analogy to be sure as it takes looking
far below the surface to comprehend the amount of time it has
taken to amass the quantity of sublte tweaks and modifications
since those first minor changes.
This
daily driver has been BFI's test bed for anything and everything
MK4. If we sell it, chances are it has been installed and tested
on this ride. Multiple sets of coilovers, spring and shock combinations,
brake set-ups, turbos, exhausts, and softwares have found their
way onto this car over the few short years. This means that we
can help the customer make a more informed decision by sharing
our direct first hand experience with the variety of products
out there.
