Nick took advantage of APR’s “Spring Into Power” Sale and picked up the RSC turbo-back exhaust for his Mk5 GTI.

It also gave us a chance to get better profile pictures of his car since his last visit when we had mounted a set of the Hartmann HRS4-252B Wheels in 19″, a great addition to our Achtuning gallery!

We hear the Zender kit is no longer available so it will be interesting to see what front lip and skirt Nick will come up with to complete the look of his GTI. When he does, we’ll let you know!

Nick was itching for a new look to his Zender-equipped Mk5 GTI. At the recommendation of Ryan@FineTuning , he stopped by to take a gander at our wheel display so he could get an up-close-and-personal look at his options. He also had his heart set on some Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires to wrap around a set of 19″ wheels. Once the Hartmann HRS4-252-SS was selected, we suggested that he order in a set of 225/35-19s from Tire Rack and we’d take care of the mounting and balancing since he was buying wheels from us – all he had to do was let us know when to expect tires and we were pretty much all set.

Well, tires arrived and an appointment was set up to get wheels installed – but that wasn’t enough! Nick knew that throwing on a set of 19s would in fact change the look to his car, but he wasn’t completely convinced that wheels-only would do the trick, especially after checking out a few cars in our gallery. At the last minute, Nick pulled the trigger and asked us to throw on some STaSIS Streetsport Coilovers while we were at it. Likely a good decision in the end, as Nick’s GTI is now sittin’ proper on our 19×8.5 wheels.

Congrats, Nick! (and thanks Ryan!!) Be sure to come back when we have some daylight to snap more pictures – especially after you complete the kit.
