Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Only negative is the front plate and how much space there is either side of it.


    Nice! Black & white slimline plates finish it off nicely on white/black/grey GTI's.

    You can hardly notice the gap with a dark background anyway. If it annoys you, I think a member here (mattaus) modified theirs (I think they removed the Euro backplate completely).

                That is probably a fair call. Have had 1 offer below that already....
                Has anyone here bought one this month with the offer?

                            • ^ I'd always thought the R should be in Lapiz Blue, but that shade of grey looks the goods. Congrats.

                                It was out of the lapiz blue and the limestone grey. I am very very happy with my choice. Thanks mate.
