I like the stance. I do. It's a very clean car in that regard. Pink of course isn't my thing. However, the RPFs on your man's R should be on your car instead. Again, if that was the scene I were going for, your car would be a great one to draw from.

I find the stickers silly and some unnecessary (ie nofucksgiven) but eh. Your car. Just never understood the need to billboard profanity.

I can totally see where you're coming from, my previous car was a super low (static) passat with stretch and poke. Finally moved up to my dream car (the R32) and knew that look didnt belong on the R, for me at least. I love the way race car yaris's look too! There use to be a guy around here with rally lights on his grill and black RPF1's on a black Yaris, I loved it!

But ive got to say: I LOVE driving her Yaris, even with the bags it reminds me of my old MK2 Gti as far as handling(yes the bags handle) and overall feel. But much like the euro scene it's stance or race car look. She wanted stance and picked all the parts and paid for everything, I just helped where I could. Plus she wanted it girly, can't get much more girly :). I think she said if she ever wants to go fast she is buying a STI haha.

The NFG thing use to be a group of tight friends and that was somthing we use to say to each other constantly(usually before doing somthing stupid/awesome) someone made stickers. The group has since gone it's ways but it's a pretty good way to explain the car. She wanted it bagged and didnt give a F what it took. 10 weeks waiting for custom struts and 3 months trying to find someone willing to make them.

Is that your R? Nice.

My car before the Yaris was a Mark 3 Jetta 2.0L, and like the Yaris, took a stupid amount of money if speed was the goal. I ended up going the style route but was constantly chastised that I was going for static with DD duties in mind. I lived in Brooklyn near the Williamsburg at the time so "laying frame" on every pot hole was not an option. As you know, VWs have their...quirks and after it eventually caught fire when the rad fan melted the harness, I was done.

The point of all that being is that a majority of the VW crowd goes stance, but its good to see an R that looks like you took the performance route with. I remember seeing an R on Vortex that was spraypainted with red and grey camoflague. It looked awful. But I've also seen some of them that look amazing.

And I love the endo shot with the added in panda.

yep, that is my R. best automotive purchase yet! (i also have a caged and track ready Scirocco.... its for sale too). I feel this car needs to be shredable not stanced. I agree that LOTS of the vw community is going for the stance look, and lots of it looks really good but for me it doesn't belong on a R.

honestly i had a feeling the Yaris was gonna look good "stanced" like hers is now, but I'm honestly blown away at how good it turned out, i see it every day and i am still blown away at how good it looks. I LOVE the body lines of the Yaris and i think thatt they look good with any and all mods. Honestly if my R ever got to the point (500whp+) and i was financially OK that i didn't need or want to DD it anymore i would ABSOLUTELY consider a yaris as a DD, coils and wheels with a few bolt ons and it would be a total blast. In all seriousness i feel the Yairs is one of the most underrated economy cars out there!

oh, we will get pics of her hidden trunk setup too.

Hilarious. I'll be borrowing that, thanks

Not my cup o' tea, but I definitely give you kudos. That's pretty extreme and something you should be proud of
