What’s been your experience with it so far?

I’ve had mine since May. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Timing belt (€2000)
  • Brake rotors and pads (€300)
  • New tires
  • 2 TPMS sensors
  • Turbo replacement (€1350)
  • Transmission and clutch (expensive but unsure of exact cost)
  • Wheel damage causing noise

Current issues:

  • Noise over speed bumps

Add-ons:

  • New grilles
  • Mirror caps
  • Dynamic indicators
  • Subwoofer
  • Silencer removed

Planned fixes:

  • Speed bump noise
  • Exhaust cutout
  • Spark plugs
  • Battery

That’s quite a list. What mileage was it at when you got it and what’s it now? I was lucky mine came with the timing belt done already. I just picked up winter tires and wheels for €400. Where did you get your grilles? I might paint the stock ones black.

@Zachary
I got it at 105k km and it’s now at 118k km.

The grilles were from AliExpress. They’re mostly for looks but fit perfectly. I kept all the original parts just in case.

It’s been expensive but driving it is a lot of fun. I’ve toned down my driving style but still enjoy it. I didn’t like the red front details, so I swapped to black for a meaner look. Hope your experience with yours is smooth. Keep an eye on the oil since the belt runs wet.

Looks cool. Did you make any mods?
