We’re back with our Golf R project! Part 1 took care of the essentials with a full check-over and some much-needed maintenance. In Part 2, we switched up the look — adding MTS adjustable coilovers, a full Maxton kit, and a fresh set of Enkeis to finish it off. Now that it’s sitting right and looking the part, it’s time to turn things up a notch.
