I'm not a professional photographer, and I'm not really sure this is the right place to post, never been on forums before. I drove past this abandoned military helicopter hangar and thought it would be a nice backdrop for some pictures of my new love, nicknamed Blue I (Blue the First), she goes like stink and is so nice to drive. Best car I've ever had and I've had a few.

 

Thinking about some upgrades, want to put some black rims on her and some other cosmetic things. Also looking into if it's possible to retrofit stuff like memory seats, get satnav in the digital gauge cluster (for now stuck with android auto on the infotainment screen), maybe radar guided cruise control, but I imagine that would be expensive if even possible. I have some friends in Germany that has offered to tinker on it for me, maybe get some more oomph out of the engine, but I'm not decided on that yet. They have long experience tuning VAG products so it's not like some sketchy back alley thing. I feel 245 horses are plenty but why turn down close to 300 if it can be done relatively easily. Also want to put an exhaust system on it, inside it sounds nice but outside it sounds like a vacuum cleaner on steroids, not very exciting compared to Leon Cupra or Golf GTI. Probably because it's more of a family car than a sports car, but a little bit more emotion from the tailpipe wouldn't go amiss I think.

 

Looking for new rubber for it as well, it has 4 year old Bridgestone Potenza Sport all around right now, but I feel that the car struggle a little bit with grip sometimes. Mainly when accelerating, first and second gear is not worth dipping into the throttle, but 3rd onwards it just goes. In turns it is planted like nothing I've felt before, accidentally took a hairpin at Mach Jesus and it just dealt with it, really surprised. So I've been looking around for maybe some more grippy rubber, but know very little about it, so if you know something that would be an upgrade to the Bridgestones then please let me know. Wanting to keep it under 175ish € a wheel. I looked at the Pirelli P Zero and Michelin Pilot Sport 5, but as I said don't know much or if it will be an upgrade to the Potenza Sport. I live on the coast in Spain, very little rain and too many hot days, so don't need all seasons, only summer tires.

 

The car has some weird specs from the factory, but it was such a good deal for what it was that I felt I couldn't pass it up, clean title, 2019 model, done a little more than 60k kilometers, good service record, timing belt has been changed as well, which I've heard could be a problem for these engines. Anyway I'm rambling, here's the pictures if you wanna see.

Nice.  The wheels look great in that bright silver against the blue 👍🏻

Very tidy car that! The wheels don't look like they need a refurb? I had my Xtreme's refurbed in black which goes well with the Black pack highlights.
