Hi everyone,
I've been on the board for a while and I figured it was time I open a thread about my car and the few mods I have done so far.
So it's a 2012 model, I picked it up with 8km on the odometer. As of May '16 it is at 85k km, tons of fun and not a single hitch that wasn't covered under warranty.
Here is family portrait, car wise.
Like I mentioned, I have done a few minor mods and I try to keep it as OEM as possible. The goal is to keep the car reliable and usable as a DD while improving the fun on and off the track. And some purely cosmetic mods sneaked in, I couldn't resist.
