    Are you going to get the rest of your gloss black areas cf'd so that they don't look out of place?
    Not too bad for $120 odd delivered..
    As for more CF... no, I will leave it at just the mirrors... Personally I don't think they look out of place at all...they actually tie in quite nicely with the mesh on the side of the headlights...
    Now to just find the right colour to do the Tallies... I kind of think it is going to have to be shadow chrome... but it is so expensive..

      Fair enough!

      What about replacing the tallies with a shadow chrome rim in a different style? That way you have 2 rims to swap between if you wish to.

        Hmm I have been down that track but so far I havent found anything I really want that is in the range I am willing to pay...

        I am contemplating going naked on the Tallies though....highly polished with clear coat... Certainly different...

          Nothing wrong with different. If we were all the same, all of the CW/Gray/Black cars would have black mesh like rims - which looks great! but isnt very 'individual'.

                  It is still going to be a rare sight - VW won't sell that many in a year. If i read the VFACTS data correctly only 15,000 or so coupes were are sold last year, though might be more this year with the toyota 86/BRZ. If VW sell 1,000 R's they will be doing well.

                  Dare i say more exclusive still in indium

                          Nothing for the moment Ian... there are a couple of performance based items I am keeping an eye on but for now...this is it.
                          I am still pondering what to do on my wheels... and again there are a couple of options but I am still undecided... it is a long term project so there is plenty of time to do whatever I want to do...and to keep it just a little different to the rest.

                          Enjoy the UK...

                            This is true... Indium and Reflex Roc's will be rarer, I believe..

                              • Just had my Roc APR'd by Dean at Volkspower, with the latest map. Very impressive results after a few 'learning' k's on the clock. My car has only done 650km, so still taking it easy, but the mid-range is very strong. Once run-in, I really think the real-world performance won't be too far off my friend's 997 GT3. It's certainly far quicker than any boof-head, standard Aussie V8 I've driven, and would also sort out a standard Focus RS.

                                Intake, TBE, KWs and some new ARBs for the next round.

                                It's a great thing, the Roc - I'm very impressed with it so far (excluding the axle-tramp and creaking tailgate!). It does need a proper diff, but could be worse

                                I'll stick it on the dyno at work once there's a few thousand k's on the dial. I suspect it won't be far off 200kW ATW. Once it hits 250 ATW, I'll leave it alone!
