Now... time for a new sig, huh?

 

That was a busy summer. nice job.

 

Wow!!! Too bad an tip cant handle that kind of power

Lucky you

 

Awesome! Great job.

Perhaps it's just the angle that the pics are taken, but it seems that the trim respray isn't an exact color match - even if just a tad off, it still looks great.

 

for some reason.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeropost?cmd=tshow&amp;id=3996662">Fourtitude link (identical) &gt;</a></li></ul>

 

Nice!

 

Holy crap, that's hawt!

Extremely Thorough! Another full paint stage III. Nice looking allroad!

 

Nice work! Wish I was down at EPL to see it in person when it was on the dyno.
