CANDY OEM++ " The Low Life"



The Cali Style has often been imitated never duplicated. People all around the world has been recreating their cars after ours in California for years. It maybe because of our simple approach in adding unique detailed parts to our cars to help us stand out in a sea of mundane cars or maybe its just our laid back attitude. Lets face it , California , especially Southern Cali, is nothing but highways and by ways 4 lane roads of heaven; the weather here is great all year round with no hazardous conditions such as sleet or 80inches. of snow.


Which brings me to these two Candy White Volkswagens you see, Alex’s R32 on AIR and Brandon’s 4 door Gti. Two have very different approaches but the end result is still very classy OEM style with flare. After talking to these two guys you clearly get a picture of where they are going with their cars… AS LOW AS POSSIBLE .Alex’s ride spared no expense seeking out some special help in the department of notching the frame to get the car sitting couple of millimeters lower. Brandon’s Gti had his coilovers wound down as far as it can go to get the 4 dr sitting nice and flush with the VMR wheels.


The words SLOW N LOW comes to mind when thinking about these two cars, because theres nothing else that fits this picture more.Alex’s story behind the whole car started early , when asked about what drew him to the Volkswagen scene was “ The Volkswagen culture is all about getting low , and keeping the OEM flavor, no extreme body kits.” Brandon got in to the VW world after converting over from being a Honda guy , and after several days of car shopping settled for this Sleek 4dr 6 speed. “ The car just felt solid and also had tuning capabilities.” One draw back to having your car wound down , or sitting on air as low as you can get it without rubbing is, every drivers night mare, speed bumps, potholes, drive ways, but who cares its aggressive , its mean, its Loowwwwww
