GREP VR6 auto tuning
Task
When the car was purchased from C&C Inc in the winter of 2005 it looked ugly and not appealing. The tasak was to redesign the car. In just a couple of months, the car came back to New England roads as a new beast which appeared and performed as a totally different car with a minimal investment.

GREP VR6 is a private tuning project the goal of which was to show how ugly OEM looking VW Golf can become a different car as far as looks and performance is concerned.
This is how the car looked when it was just purchased.
But it didn't sit still for too long, I started modding it as soon as snow melted.
New suspension has arrived
The biggest upgrade was installing a new adjustable suspension. Ride height difference is illustrated in this animation.
Techtonics exhaust was a next modification.
And after having tinted the car, it appeared on the streets.
BBS 16
This is how it appeared in the winter wheels.
