Bought the owner history from TraFiCom (Finnish vehicle registration agency) some time ago and by the looks of it the car has had around a million owners in Finland alone, and on top of that it's a German import, so more stuff going on before 2006 over there.
Some of the mods previous owners have installed include:
-40mm lowered springs
16% Window tint on the rear windows
Simons exhaust with wideband oxygen sensor & PLX gauge
Wastegate bleed valve (Boost adjuster, basically)
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Boost gauge
Weird "racing-style" stripes on the bonnet
Personally, I've
Replaced the upholstery
Installed the FlexFuel conversion kit
Made my own projector headlights for the car
And of course serviced and repaired it as needed.
Engine makes 200HP from the factory, assuming it makes a tad bit more now on ethanol. Getting a power slip for it this summer.
