New bumpers for my project

I just got these back last weekend from a pal in PA. We worked out a sweet trade so I cant really say how much it would cost to replicate these, but Im friggin stoked.

They started as textured OEM euro golf bumpers.
On the front the marker lights were filled along with the lower air ducts in addition to the "credit card" indentation typically in the center of the plate recess. A north american lip was then molded in, which in my opinion is pretty ballsy.

The rear had the tow hook shaved along with the exhaust cutout, which means I've got to sort that sometime soon as well.





Thanks Mike!

2006 VW Jetta TDI - $12,000.00

Scroll down for the basics.

Its time for me to sell my personal car. I purchased this new at Fitzgerald AutoMall in Frederick, MD when I traded in my R32 for something more practical as commuting 90 miles round trip each day was economically feasible in something I was tempted to constantly cruise around in at 80 miles an hour, which in 6th gear returned a lackluster fuel economy of 22mpg.

When I stepped into this I knew that I would be sacrificing performance and all wheel drive but I gained a ton of space for myself and 4 adult passengers, lower auto insurance premiums and 23 additional mpg while crusing at 80mph on my commutes. Even while cruising at 80mph I still manage to get 520 miles on a tank before it runs dry.

Now that my wife and I have our first child we need something a little bigger and more wagonish to lug around the stroller, pack n play, diaper bags, misc toys etc.

I have had this car serviced by Eurotech Motorsports from day one for everything from oil changes to the mandatory timing belt service which I took a pre-emtive strike towards and had it done at 90k.

This car runs great and has never had any issues at all, and if it wasnt for the self imposed need for more space I would be keeping it. The car isnt perfect but also isnt far from it. All 4 wheels have curb rash and there are some paint chips in the hood from road debris, and the lip is scraped on the drivers side. (see photo) but thats where it stops. No dents, repainted panels, crazy scrathes, nothing.

Now that you might have read all that Im sorry. Here the info.

Polo 1.4 3cylinder TDI swap for sale $3000

I sold this to a customer awhile back who never used it as planned. Its been in storage for the last 4 years, but was pulled while running.

The swap includes the engine harness, cluster, ecu and complete longblock.

I sent the ecu to Rocket Chip to have the immobilizer removed as well as adjust the fuel and timing for more performance. With the upgraded ecu you should expect to see a 20%+ gain in HP & torque.

This swap is available for immediate pickup in MD. I will deliver within 200 miles for an additional $100.00.

This is the only 3cylinder VW diesel in America that I am aware of and would be a perfect swap for any MK1 Rabbit, MK1 Caddy or MK1 Cabriolet.

When fitted to the Polo these cars averaged 62+ combined MPG.

Adaptec Speedware - 4x100-5x112 adapters!!

Our longtime pal Matt has just introduced his newest product which allow you to use Mercedes or Audi wheels on your 4 lug watercooled VW. No longer will you have to swap to a 5x100 VW bolt pattern (up to $500), then get adapters(another $300).

Another advantage is that by using their skinniest adapters at 15mm you're not pushing your wheels the additional 5mm as a 5x100 setup requires you to do, prior to using an adapter.

Audi A4 B6 euro trunk - $250





This was stored for a while at Euro Auto Source in York, PA which is where it picked up the sweet latex paint overspray on it, so odds are that you have seen it before if you been in the shop.

The trunk lid originally had a factory installed spoiler so there are some holes in the top near the edge that would obviously accept another factory spoiler, or possibly some aftermarket ones as well.


The facotry paint might be something you're able to buff out, and its obviously very dusty. Upon pickup I will also throw in a euro hazard triangle.
