Project: '04.5 GLI

"I'm not going to mod it" were the words uttered when this car was first purchased seven 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 over the top 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 once 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 software files have found their way onto this car over the years. This experience 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.

While the popularity of the 1.8T and MK4 chassis has given way to the more modern cars, this Jetta can still hold it's own in both the looks and performance departments in comparison.
