My MKVI TDI

[Ryan_R]

I once had someone photoshop the R wheels onto my car and didn't think it looked good, but your 17's definitely work for you... just a shame they're on a diesel

I'm actually somewhat interested in these ones but since I'm not well versed in the need-to-know I'm hanging back, plus for a first time I'd prefer to go local. I'm also thinking I've done enough to this car and should leave things as is for now and see if I upgrade to a Mk7.

Ryan - Thanks, i was a bit worried about the R wheels as well in 17's thinking they'd look silly being 2" smaller then they should be but they do suit and look quite good! (they are a pain in the A** to clean though!)

I did look at the ones you linked but decided not to go that style as they looked a little small in 17".

Now now.. don't make me come down to Melbourne and show you what a diesel can do

IMO these are still the best looks / quality for the money:

GTC Wheels

But they are in quite a different vein to the ones you seem to be looking at.

Yeah, trying to keep the OEM look. Probably won't bother with it on this car.

I've had a couple of PM's asking for a close up of the leather seats to see what the perforation looks like with red coming through instead of the normal black..

Heres a couple of close ups.

I have put a K & N Highflow air filter in the Golf now and the fuel economy has improved substantially. I have noticed a slight improvement in power but nothing to get excited about.

Picked myself up a RCD-510 today, nice little upgrade from the RCD-310. Don't know what else ill be doing to the car at this stage.
