I have a 2019 GLI.. not a fan of the new front and back end they did starting in 2020. But you blacking everything out makes it look pretty good looking. Nice build man.
The did a Facelift in 2022 and changed the exhaust it looks different than the 20-21. I have the 22 Gli Autobahn Black Package In Pure Grey with like 8700 miles. I been having it for 2 years. It had 5 miles when it was delivered for me. It's a solid car other than some airbag issues I had early on. I have a 2023 Taos Sel and its decent too, It had 25 miles when I got it. Also I haven't been able to get a legit alignment on the GLI, which sucks. The Front and back looks dope, I didn't like the front that much at first but it's so beautiful in Pure Grey. I don't like it in black honestly.
I work for the logistics side of vw and i can lease brand new cars through work. I recently got a 2025 GLI and im excited to mod it after the leasing point is up... This vid game me that motivation to get back into modding cars after building my civic that drained all that motivation lol. Sweet ride man!
You got yourself a really good RUclips channel and a nice Jetta also. This thing pulls! Hope to see big turbo in the future and some dusted folks on their GTs 😅
Man your setup looks clean asf! i have a 2021 jetta gli and since the factory warranty is about to end. I've been looking at more mods for my jetta. ( I have an intake, inlet, inlet hose ) like you said tints are a must on any car. its crazy how Swan Vinyl can change the look of the car. Everyone swore up n down about the pilot sport 4s so i pulled the trigger on them the other day and I'm about to put them on in a couple days. Around black friday i will want to go stage 1 ecu and a tcu to pair with it. Neuspeed exhuast sounds the best for what i want so i might go that direction.

Thinking about getting a gli myself, but part of me is scared to do upgrades because of how my 04 passat turned out....build the power or buy it, im on the fence
@JohnMK7 thanks man! Keep up the good work, love your videos. Gives me some ideas on what to do on mine. Just hoping that next gen GLI won't go full electric. 😅
I bought a 2024 two months ago, and the only thorn so far is the annoying red accents on the front. It is getting tint in 2 weeks. the next step will be blacking out at least the front facia and grill.
clean car man. I have a 2019 GLI Unitronic stage 2, downpipe and inake. Im think about getting the ARM fmic. You think its worth the upgrade over the stock one?
Thanks man! I don't have an fmic yet so can't speak too much on it but I have heard good things about them. Some people say direct replacement is much better though. I would dig more into it!
@@Mk7John the fmic is 100% worth my buddy has the replacement do88 on his gti and my IAT's stay lower than his. Once you get into boost IAT's are almost always 10 degrees or less above ambient. The improvement over stock intercooler is noticeable too on stage 2
@@Mk7John I literally just bought a black 2024 gli 3 weeks ago. Completely bone stock. Getting the windows tinted next week. I really want to black everything out like you did on yours. It looks really good. Nice ride

Hey Man great stuff!! Great video!! I loved everything! I have a question, i have a 2022 GLI Autobahn as well as far as tuning brands between APR and IE Tuning which one is a better option as far as power and reliability. I cannot decide man 😂 because APR - does not have a stage 2 yet for our car. But other brands do.
Hey thank you so much man! :) i'm not sure about APR as i'm not familiar with them really. Buttttt I have had the ie tune for almost a year now and no hiccups aside from weird shifting, though they fixed that with the last dsg update. Plus they have trueflex freely available which is my next step up in power. Personally I plan on switching to EQT once these cars get accessport support.
i like the way your going with everything. I think I’ll do the same as far as tuning. IE tuning definitely the best option right now. Man thank you! I’m also a Volkswagen tech. I’m still learning a lot as i go. Love the brand!

@@nehguhtiv6873 the mk7 is better in terms of features, tech, etc. looks more modern as well but you put a modified mk6 next to a modified mk7 and mk6 will look better. My mk6 is heavily modified and i literally cant picture a mk7 looking even nearly as good. The thing looks like an upside down boat. Idk what they were thinking with that design but it looks like something hyundai would design or kia.

thanks man, I appreciate that. Glad I could help inspire you a bit :) good luck with the build!
As a MK7 GTI owner, I love what you did to this car. The little red inlet pieces on the lower grille look so much better in black.
Thanks so much man, totally agree lol
Clean build
Keep them videos coming
Love the mountain runs
Thank you so much man! Hope to get out in the mountains again soon!

make sure you grab an intercooler
@@sleepy35th that is high on the priority list. Just hard balance 3 builds lol
It looks fantatic.
Thank you very much!
Looks great! I also hate the red fake fog trim. I will definitely do that
Thank you!
i got the 23 model love it tho i feel like i need tcu tune cuz shift are just not fast enough .
Tcu tune def helps a lot
Lol, i didn't realize this was a face lift until the wrapped snorkels were mentioned. They look so much better wrapped , I hate the stock red color .
LOL yeahhhh i wasn't a fan of those being red hahah
what was the cost of the mods
Can you drop me the link to your spoiler! Nice build my guy!

Awesome man beatiful take care of it👍
Thank you so much man! Trying my best🫡
Super clean build bruv
Thank you so much!!
Were there any struggles w stage 2. Awesome ride! Keep it going!
No struggles my friend, its well worth it
It looks nice how much hp are you pushing?
Mmm maybe 50?
Can you make a video about the brakes? How did you go about doing that?
That is coming in a few days
cool cars
Thank you🫶🏼
What % tint are u rocking?
30% in front, 25% in rear, 5% sun strip, 20% rear window
How are you stage 2+ without a big turbo upgrade? Its not on the list of mods.
Turbo very soon lol.
Thinking about getting a gli myself, but part of me is scared to do upgrades because of how my 04 passat turned out....build the power or buy it, im on the fence
MQB is an easy platform to work on tbh and pretty reliable from the looks of it in comparison to older vw platforms. I would go for it!
what wheels do you recommend for the pure grey 35th edition?
Anything goes I think! Just consider weight :) depending on what ya wanna do
I'm planing on upgrading my tires on a 2020 GLI basically stock, but thinking of getting a stage 1 tune. Which tires do you recommend?
Hey man! You will love it. I would go for either the continental dws06 or indy firehawk 500s. Both are great
@JohnMK7 thanks man! Keep up the good work, love your videos. Gives me some ideas on what to do on mine. Just hoping that next gen GLI won't go full electric. 😅

Do you have part numbers for the brakes

The mk7 is such an ugly thing. How does vw go from a design like the mk 6 to a mk7?
I like both personally
They’re both great, but you’re off your rocker if you don’t think the mk7 is the better and more attractive car.
