While it may seem that we play favorites by mostly featuring imports on the website, deep down inside many of us carry a passion for European vehicles as well. This is why we gave Devin Lefevere the chance to capture this VW R32 beauty on digital film. While it may be fairly basic inside and out, this R32 has plenty of fun contained in its package. Its Deep Blue Pearl exterior has been contrasted with a set of Konig Theory wheels doused in a black finish. The owner of this R32 didn’t want to stop there with the wheels however, the outer lip has been color matched to the bright blue. Wrapped with Toyo Proxes tires, this wheel and tire combination undoubtedly leaves the owner smiling with glee. Finishing off the exterior modifications, an Audi RS6 inspired front bumper skin gives the R32 a whole new look while a Carictere rear hatch blend gives its followers something to stare at.

The engine has been revamped slightly with a Revo computer upgrade and EIP motor and transmission mounts. Bolt-ons include an Evo cold air intake system and an EIP competition exhaust. Keeping the daily drive rather quick and snappy, an EIP competition short shifter kit was tossed in replacing the factory shifter.

Giving the car the stance it has while it prowls the streets are KW’s Variant Type-1 coilovers. A Neuspeed 23mm sway bar was bolted onto the rear to give the R32 a little bump in the handling department.

Though this car may not have a ton of mods, you can’t argue that it looks gorgeous and performs just as well. The VW R32 is without a doubt one of the nicest European compacts out there, competitive both in the looks and performance department.
