VW builders are in a league of their own, but it hasn’t always been that way. A lot of the people involved in the scene are known for pushing the limits of their cars. Whether it be running elaborate air suspension setups, crazy wheel poke, being perfectly flush, or running ridiculous tire sizes, all of it can be found in the VW scene. Pat’s GLi is no exception. He bought the car bone stock in 2009, and was looking to keep it simple, classy, and clean. It seems he’s achieved just that.

Bumper, meet ground.
