This is my Jetta. It is a Platinum Grey 2004 GSL TDI sedan. However, it has been upgraded with almost every feature offered on the GLI and GLX Jetta models and the R32 Golf model. The page will eventually be a resource for anyone interested in performing these upgrades as well.

Click here to see a gallery of photographs.
Click here for info in the 4Motion project. 




However, there are still a few things I am missing. If you might have any info on one of these upgrades, please email me at: pdx@manicsloth.com
