Blue Pearl...

Hi all, firstly I would like introduce myself as its the right thing to do. I am Henrik Haugen and I'm all the way from Norway. No-one really knows much about the scene that is evolving here, and up until today I'm sure none of you have really known anything about the modding scene in this side of the town...
 Today, I would like to bring you something that I consider to be under-overplayed (yes that's right, under-overplayed is a word!).

Some might say - "why another VW on the blog?". Well, you can say what you will, VW has been the selected modding platform for many years and will probably still be for years to come. So now comes the part where we show you why it's a VW feature again, as VW's creates artists. 

The fact that most people start out with modding a "played out" car as some might call it, makes the next person work so much harder in actually building an unique "played out" car versus the previous one's seen floating around on the net.

Jon Christian is one of those artists. He has the incredible ability in taking the smallest detail and turning it into the most artistic feature on a car. Take look at the wrap for example, it takes some serious thinking to get everyone to love something new versus the largely commercial matte black phase. This is what Jon is all about - finding that small thing that sets his so called "overplayed" car apart from the rest.

Here's some specs on Jon Christian`s Golf VI 2012 2.0TDI R-Line

Suspension
Airlift performance rear bags
Airlift slam series frontstruts
AccuAir E-Level management
5 Gallon aluminum tank
Two 400cc VIAIR compressors to get the tank filled up rather quickly

Interior
The door trim, trim around the navigation and the trim around the
inside door openers painted in gloss black.

Exterior 
The car is wrapped in matte pearl blue winyl.
Blacked out badge and grille
Gloss black roof
Plaid pattern behind the rear blacked out badge
Tint all round 

Engine
Software
Downpipe
Custom exhaust with two new exit's for stock form look.

 Jon took his TDI and made it into an OEM+ King, R-line mixed with GTI kit.
Tucking up front and sitting flush in the rear is his game.
Running on air makes getting the correct "stance"(waffle) somewhat of a tricky affair, with sorting out offsets and planning the correct fitment of wheels and tyre combo to get it as low as possible without having to chop the frame.
Small 3 globe daytime runners hidden almost.
Oem R-Line sideskirts and rear spoiler, custom R-Line diffusor with custom
exhaust.
Oem GTI E35 front bumper and R tail lights.

Rocking a four door isn't something most would do, but this is a show piece stating that 4 doors aren't always for moms...
Smoked reflectors for a sleek look.
It's all these small things that sets the car apart from the rest, making it not just another played out G6 on air but rather a piece of art to sit and view on your desktop for weeks.
BBS LS 8,5x18 et30 up front, with 205/40-18 falken and 9,5x18 et32 with
215/40-18 falken in the rear.

R-line LED tail lights for that more aggressive look.
