You can also do the r32 rotors and brake upgrade, I know of a few people doing this :)

Yep, it's a big big wad of cash !

So what gives the best bang for buck ? TT ? R32 ?

I am going to wait until I kill my rotors and than upgrade.

Have a few mods in mind,

17's or 18's probably 17's as I would like to put snow chains on
4motion haldex mod
Bilstein shocks
Brembo's or decent brake kit
Chip, to get rid of the emissions lag ( Maybe performance increase ?)
w8 passat interior light assembly
BMC air-intake
Cam (At a later stage)
Oettinger front spoiler
Grounding (When I do audio and also for supposed performance increase)
Change donut leather headrests in the front to full ones (Anyone got some?)
Exhaust (Just deeper but nothing to loud)
Carputer and SQ audio install.

At a later stage a Bi-turbo kit is on the cards but once I stop using the car as a daily driver :)

I also have a cool idea for the front grille where the VW badge is.

Well, once I have done it, I will post up some pics !

But suffice to say, I think it looks really mean !
