Buy an R32!

[Sage]

to tell you the truth i dont mind the factory one.. i am just a bit unhappy having a car exactly the same as so many other people..

id like to have one a little bit more personalised..

i did find this:

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280423723837&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

seems to be a possibility.. would be nice it was in english though..

dont want an R32.. i much prefer my TDi

though now you mention it.. an R32 grill might be just what i need!

Harsh.. I think a mild Mod is all that is being looked at.. not the whole car

[Sage]

haha.. i dont mind mate..

and R32 is about double the money for what i paid for mine..

it weighs 300kg more.. and makes an extra 50kw on mine..

tho mine uses half the fuel..

doesnt need premium..

and makes 80nm more..

only roughly a second behind on 0-100 times..

im laughing mate

pity the r32 just looks a HEAP better!

oh nooo he didn't lol
i think you would have to get a whole front bumper conversion but i could be wrong thou...
dw i like that look as well, i was considering it but i decided to order the badgeless gti grille and paint the stripe silver

Why?

hilarious

[chrisgti]

if you want it to look different why not actually do something different than just a GTI or 32 front.. Last time I checked theres plenty of them around.

Not sure about your stats there. I know the tdi is a good car but I just pulled this out of the Red Book.

TDi
Power 103kW @ 4000rpm

Torque 320Nm @ 1750-2500rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h (secs) 9.3

R32
Power 184kW @ 6300rpm

Torque 320Nm @ 2500-3000rpm

Acceleration 0-100Km/h (secs) 6.2

Is that info just completely wrong?

[paolob]

he's basing the stats on his bluefinn'd stats
chrisgti proposals kinda look like the badgeless corolla sportivo grille, id know cause my mate owns one and looks really good
blitzen: that's the grille i'm planning on ordering just trying to get shipping prices and then ill follow through

[Sage]

yeah thats the right stats for a factory TDi..

tho with bluefin is apparenlty 130kw and 392nm..

i dont know if its exactly that.. though it certinaly a HEAP quicker than a factory one

thanks for the links guys.. i will check them out.

Just add it to the cart, then put in your country and post code, and it will give you the shipping price...For example, shipping price to Penrith(2750) is $61, so the complete price is $251 USD.
