				rally-fy a VW GTI

				My car needs some suspension work before it can pass it's next inspection in the spring.  I had thought of the standard sort of upgrades while replacing the parts but then it occurred to me to do something a little different.  I'm now thinking of going with a mild rally-esk type build.  So far this has proven a little more diffiuclt as 99.99% of the VW scene is about stance and slamming.
If anyone has any tips or links for doing this sort of build, help a brother out.

				Nothing says rally more than urethane mud flaps on all 4 corners, roof vent scoop, and full undercarriage skid plate.
But really, you already have the brakes/lines/tires.
Suspension and camber plates?  Upgrade cooling system?  Cockpit comms system/headsets to mute the screaming and crying coming from the baby seat in back?

				I found 
a thread, got carried away dreaming...
Found out this guy not only cut the fenders all the way to the frame but he also had to fabricate new A-arms.  So yeah, just dreaming about doing crazy shit to my beater.

				Not brave enough to hack up the GTI.  I love how that one turned out though.  He eventually got a supercharger setup to motivate those tires.  The build thread is pretty amazing, watching it take shape over a couple years.
Sigh, I'll stick to the safe option and just refresh the suspension over the winter.
