Rivalling Cooper S

Just installed front and rear H&R anti roll bars and they DO make a huge difference in handling. Body roll is kept to a minimum and the ride feels much more planted. Surprisingly, ride comfort stays the same. One of the best investment so far other than the BBK 2 years back.

V8 beauty

Saw a silver C63 AMG near City Hall MRT at 2am on New Year's Day. The sound after it powers from the bend is just intoxicating. Grunty and meaty. Who needs turbo whistle or supercharger whine when a pure 6.3 NA block sits right in front of you. It HAS to be one of the best sound in motorcar history. Thumbs up AMG.

Handling package













After some research, these H&R ant roll bars sound like the real deal. I do not wish to touch the coilovers and another way to improve handling is to replace our stock arb with aftermarket ones. I can't imagine handling to be comparable to the Cooper S if I ever bolt these on. Woohoo.

Done Deal

This is the look I've finally wanted to achieve, even before i had the car.

This Oettinger rear valence can really transform the look of this hatch. Wanted to go for the Alpil/Newing rear but shipping costs added up to quite a figure. Moreover, Eurohaus had ready stock for this and its cheaper after factoring GST, so why not.

Its rear stance is now broader, more stable and lower, although nothing is done to the suspension and most importantly, not compromising practicality.









Yellow stripe, blue calipers. Hope i don't look like a mobile Ikea or Courts










Yes i know it begs to be lowered, but im more than satisfied with it.











The rear look is settled imo.

Golf sightings










This one of the sexiest GTi i came across. BBS rims, Alpil rear valence, coils, BBK, painted skirts and front bumper, and much more under the hood which i wouldn't know.








R32 at T3. Love the chrome grill. Way better in this trademark blue in y opinion.











:R's rear looks way nicer than stock GTi.











MKVI GTi, with Advan RS rims, Alcon BK, darkened front emblem, CF mirror covers coils, and im not surprised to know that this car's engine is not stock.
