so I would like to see the count od how many like stock watercooled vs altered visually, and or performance modified.
vote?
for the old school air cooled, stock vs modified
what do you prefer on each one.

DutchVDub · « **Reply #1 on:** August 09, 2008, 07:51:18 PM »

On both aircooled and watercooled I like exterior modifications to be of a more subtle OEM+ variety. Suspensions on AirCooleds should be bagged, period. On watercooleds I think they should all be equipped with either coilovers and set to a more auto-x appropriate height or have a nice subtle drop to eliminate wheel well gap w/o sacrificing ride. As far as engine performance goes, sky is the limit.

OEM +

You can leave your Autozone chrome rub strips at the store

fotograf · « **Reply #3 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:04:08 PM »

aircooled - OEM +, lowering, full resto, OEM look rims

watercooled - tastefully extreme. I prefer project cars with a good theme all around.

Audis - I figure these fall into a different category - I prefer mostly performance and minor OEM +. Lower, rims, and minor body mods.

Jesus · « **Reply #4 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:17:23 PM »

I prefer the OEM + with a nice set of wheels for the watercooled side

Aircooled, I kind of like the resto custom type deal. Stock looking body, nice wheels, possibly bigger engine, stock interior, with a nice lowering job.

as far as watercooleds- i like oem look with a nice drop decent rims no crappy autozone ones performance i agree sky is the limit

aircooled - i like the cali look for all the old school nothing crazy just clean lines and a nice drop

I like mine slightly modified...... for the track

oliver · « **Reply #7 on:** August 11, 2008, 12:22:45 AM »

I like oem stocklooking with upgraded suspension, brakes and engine stuff. Aftermarket wheels easy but I'd rather start with the road holding and power first. Plus external mods can get noticed easily by the wife hahaha.

being that i have 4 modified in some way or form im going to say i love a little modified on both air cooled and water cooled

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #9 on:** August 23, 2008, 01:44:57 PM »

If the doors dont spin and open up like a transformer Im not interested.

Seriously, aircooled- bag it, some chrome accent and a nice resto.

Watercooled- coil it, wheel it and keep it clean. Subtle bodykits or lips do it for me. Oh and debadge (ahem**mark*)

OEM + FTMFW

Audi wheels on my Jetta and a guy stops me and asks... What year is that Audi? Lol

LOS · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2010, 03:24:15 PM »

I like lambo doors, b pillar gauges, pink and neon green interior accents, chrome spinner wheels and gotta have the whistle tips.
For engine mods, just a 2.slow w/ a auto and a k&n filter for 40 hp. Thats how I roll.

Blkb5z · « **Reply #23 on:** October 16, 2010, 03:38:20 PM »

DutchVDub · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2010, 08:12:19 AM »

I like my watercooled slammed on coilovers so that you can't hit a pebble with out something rubbing.

I need different offset rims so I can my MKIII lower.

The Asshole · « **Reply #25 on:** October 17, 2010, 09:06:22 AM »

watercooled: slammed, poked and stretched mated with OEM+ after that.
Airhead: slammed, lowback OEM seats, all else stock turbo'd, though i do have an affinity for RATrod bugs, fenderless, chopped and stretched.

Blkb5z · « **Reply #26 on:** October 17, 2010, 02:46:07 PM »

The asshole, when u say u like cars fenderless,are u the guy with the jetta with no fenders and a rack on top?i think iv seen u around town. Nice ride btw!

You mean google is a good researcher, right?

I meant the people that made the FB page and the ones that contribute to the weirdness.
