How often do you need to get smogged? Sorry for the noob question. Oh, and do you get any odor in the car from your downpipe?

I just got my GTI, and I only had to get my previous car smogged once ever in the three years I had it.

how and what did you use to paint the engine cover and TSI logo?

 

[HardCandy]

yea you should get one nice part for a stage 2+. and yes i will be going k04 or Big Turbo i like the idea of k04 but think it will have me wanting more. waiting to see UNIs BT kit

Awesome,
by the end of 2013 i should be going apr 3+ fingers crossed.

I agree the k04 would be a nice bump from a stg2 but it would probably bug me that i did not just go all out.

When you buy a new car in CA your Smog exempt for the first 6 years I think. And yea there was a smell for the first 6 Months but now it's almost completely gone Only can smell a little bit

I just sanded it and used high-performance enamel spray paint white for the white red for the TSI logo http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=95
