I picked them up whilst strolling the aisles of my local Costco. They are identical to the ones you see on Tirerack.com. Very reasonably priced.

I will probably use the blue Michelin stands for the Q5. The red ones are perfect for "lowriders" like your GLI.

Damn that car is clean!!
Put the Sparco cover on this morning and connected it to the trickle charger, its official; its season is now done. Its funny my wife was wrapping Christmas presents this morning while i was putting my red cover on. I mentioned that I'll have to wait until spring to unwrap mine haha.
Thank you sir. It was nice to have a Saturday that cooperated weather wise to get her ready.
Added a few toys to my small toy box

Beautiful garage and vw! Always had a soft spot for gli's
Thanks man! Always happy to see a fellow dub fan.
Thanks! Funny how these things evolve. Honestly i was just starting the project with paint and maybe an epoxy floor. This site is so chalk full of ideas and inspiration that the vision quickly evolved from there.
I definitely understand the life comment. Almost cried the day i sold my GTI to go back to University. Short term sacrifice for long term success for sure.
Man oh man i wish i had a double garage....... at least lol.... Having my stored car taking up the garage makes any winter cleaning and maintenance a definite chore. Luckily we have had above seasonal temps this week which helped with swapping some wheels and doing some interior cleaning on the driveway.

Get a leccy rad on the wall to take the edge off?
Think he means one of those electric radiator type heaters.

Haha. While we Yanks don't speak the Queen's English, we also don't follow all the descriptions Brits, Aussies and Kiwis use to define things. Makes life interesting, for sure

Great choice dubber. If I never owned a G5 I would take a G6 in a heartbeat. Wish you many happy miles.

Looking forward to seeing what happens with the new TDI.

Managed to push some things around to clear enough room for some pics. I'm definitely at capacity at the moment.
Here's my new jack. Love how low it is but damn is it heavy. Pops in law said he almost pulled his back getting it in his car
New jack stands. Had to find some a little lower and with a flat base which works better for my floor. The base on my other set would slice right through the tiles, as it does even on the asphalt.
And the new small heater. My space is way too small to add anything substantial; tight on the walls and a very low roof. The colour and size are added benefits but its a pretty solid little unit.

Very nice additions to a great garage! I especially like that floor jack. I might have to look around for one like that.

I really like those VW tire totes.
Yea they are pretty sweet indeed. And not badly priced considering the Michelin ones at Canadian Tire are $39, these priced at $44 and convenient to get are a great value, especially with the quality. I've had to grab two packs as of late lol... I'm sitting on more inventory compared to this time last year when i only had one extra set. I have 3 extra full sets of wheels right now. I'll definitely be purging come spring time.
Picked up a new set of wheels for the GLI this season to try something different. Definitely going to keep the BBS wheels as they belong with the car no matter what its rolling on at the time.

I've been hunting for a while now for a nice overhead cord reel. Originally i had wanted black but I've got enough of an eyesore above contrasting with my low white ceiling. I was very happy to find this one; perfectly matches my two lights that i had added.
Before
After (Garage Bling!)
I installed one diamond plate light. I am going to add 2 more. I also agree with more light. I want to remove as mush shadowing as possible. Similar to a surfboard shaping bay.
I have plenty of space above the ceiling to add the outlets for a permanent solution. But, I only have 3 wall outlets. I think adding a diamond plate outlet is perfect.
