Fab_R if u dont mind me asking, how much did the wheels+tyre combo set you back? Yours looks like a quality wheel, im considering not ordering the 18" Detroits on the GTI and trading in the 17" Denvers for a better looking 18" wheel. If you traded your original wheels in, did you get a fair trade value? Thanks

i've seen a brand new set of Denvers + Potenza RE050 sold for $1280 in eBay (melbourne seller),
a set with 1 week old Denvers and almost brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for $1500 (this was a special case),
there's currently a Melb seller of a set with 350kms travel only, $1100 and no bites since last month.
also have seen a couple of sets, used between 300-3000kms, sold between $850 (with a kerb mark)-$1100.

it all depends if there's someone wanting it so much or not.

and here are pictures showing Detroits / Denvers on the same car:

Mmmm just installed Carbonio Stage I + II





Sound wise its a little louder than stock but not as aggressive as I thought it would be. Would have liked the intake sound to be a bit louder but i cant complain as i prefer the look over the other intakes on the market. Decided to get the stage 2 pipe just for the more clean look. Also I rotated the maf 180° so its hidden.

In terms of install it can be a pain for a first timer but im glad i have all the tools and have some tinkering knowledge. Those factory hose clamps can be a pain especially the ones close to the turbo for the stage 2 pipe, a must have tool is a remote hose clamp pliers! The only other hard part was putting the filter on over the supplied pipe but with muscle and a really small screw driver i got there in the end. One tip i have is to put the filter pipe and maf together and clamp them on and install them as one. The install instructions are pretty detailed so i would recommend diy over paying a shop to do it.

In terms of performance feels abit more responsive but that could just me as I havent chipped the car yet. Might do that either next week or week after as having gotten a ride in a R, my car is too slow!!!

Sorry for the quality , but the guy here on Putty rd showed me a pic taken earlier this year and in the Jan UK top Gear Magazine
Here is my imitation.
As it was a winter edition , they photoshopped snow on trees in the background
Interesting as it was about 35 degrees today.

This is the magazine pic

My neighbour is a professional photographer and happens to absolutely love my car. The result... a shoot of my car with some pictures for me to keep!!! Enjoy.

PS.. I have the originals if you would like them to use as a desktop background.

[Vaku]

well here she is, tints on etc

I will get some 'SLR' pics soon but iphone will do for now!



such a good looking car, i look at it almost envious as I still dont realise its actually mine !

[Vaku]

dealer fitted, says 'm1 street legal tint' so just your average 35% I guess - looks a bit darker though? anyway its a good job

grabbed some quick snaps of the DRL's






I have them turned off during the day ( not my style to show off etc even tho I do like them! ) but not sure how to have them off at night ?

Still, look pretty cool eh!

I'll get some up tomorrow, car is filthy from the rain today... the fact I was driving for most of the day doesn't help either.

This is the updated DSG shifter, much better than the older TSI style.

Mine was on same ship - Morning Conductor that docked at Port Kembla on 08/03.
Well, it's here! So 10 for my dealer!

Some pichers taken tonight - sorry if poorly snapped and sized wrongly. I would blame it on the point & shoot but it is just me being lousy at photos.

Darn, I am fearful for my licence; it is so easy to go fast in this thing.

[rageR]

Jealous more pichers please.
What's it doing at workshop on day 1?

And here is my Golf R

OMG OMG that is my car in 2 months... I love the cloth seats

Well glad I could show you what your car is going to look like
My old car had leather seats and I'm glad I went with the cloth trim in this car as it's so much better (and cheaper)

The Grey insert you can see in the seats feels like suede as well...
