Very nice.
Any more info on your audio system? Looks like Morel sub, two Genesis dual monos and a monoblock or a Dual mono extreme?

Nice motor. 

Out of interest, how much is a new GTI in Singapore?  I've heard the prices are very high.

I'll give it an educated guess at £75k!

There are 2 Genesis Dual Monos and a 4 channel amp (475 S.E.).  The subwoofer is the Morel SE 12" driven off the Dual Mono.  All hooked up to aftermarket Alpine W502E headunit and optically connected to the Alpine PXA800 audio processor.  I'll pop into the other sub-topic shortly.   :smiley:

I got mine 2nd hand in May 2010 for SGD120 grand (approx USD90 grand back then). 
Yes sir, a brand new GTI is SGD 170 grand (USD 136K) now (all thanks to the 100% import tax & Certificate of Entitlement).

That car is gorgeous :)
Have you put the AP racing brakes on it? I think Blue Pearl gets my vote :)

This OSIR rear valence visually added 10bhp to my car.  I like it cos it's subtle.

DRC, yup that's the AP Racing CP5200 (4 pots). 
I've since swapped them out for CP5700 6 pots, more progressive feel for the 1st inch of brake pedal depression.   :smiley:
