When our Level One/illmotion East photographer Galen (aka Gawa) first informed us that there was a Level One GTI on the come up, we just could not wait to see what was in store for it. “DC”, the owner of this GTI, previously owned a J’s Racing-themed Honda Fit lowered on Volk RE-30s. Being a big fan of Volkswagens running air suspension (especially MK4s) and looking for something a little more on the “Classy and Comfortable” side, DC felt it was time to move on from his Honda Fit build and had his heart set on the Volkswagen MK6 GTI platform.

Putting in work in no time, DC got his GTI lowered on a Bagriders Air Suspension Kit (Shout out to Kevin at AirAssisted). We also can’t help but pay attention to the detail pieces that DC has implemented into his GTI, such as the Euro GTI Led Taillights and the OEM Euro GTI front lip. Following classic Volkswagen protocol, DC’s wheel of choice is none other than one of BBS’s most sought after wheels, the LM. Achieving that “OEM+ look” slammed to the ground is exactly what DC was aiming for. An APR Stage 1 tune was also added to the mix for DC’s work in progress.

If “Classy and Comfortable” is the name of the game for DC, then his GTI is definitely on the right track to becoming another one of those talked about cars coming out of the Level One YYZ camp! With future plans of a Stage 2 Tune (supporting Engine & Drivetrain modifications included) and a possible color change, DC’s GTI is definitely something we can’t to hear/see more from!
