BBS rims matie, welcome

yeah i like the look of them but i also like ronal turbo's! so im not 100% sure what to get

Hi and welcome
if you have just bought your gti if its like mine it will consume you and your bank balance if your not careful  
why don't you want a power flow?
i have had one fitted to my gti and it don't sound like a boy racer due to the way they made it for me but god it sounds good and there was an marked improvement in performance this could be due to the 4into one manifold as they are supposed to give an extra 10% bhp prob the best 300 quid i have spent.
all the best and hope to see you at a meet sometime..

you got any pics of you system?

At the moment my car is in the garage with drive shaft seal problems and it looks like it could be there for the next week as the seals are hard to get hold of  :cry: .
the garage that did my exhaust had a large selection of stainless tail pipes so it don't look like a dust bin stuck out the back they asked what sort of noise coming out the back so they could taylor make it to what i wanted the only thing that sounds a bit is when the car is on tick over it pops a little which can make passers by look but when the car is accelerating away it sounds very crisp mind you i have a TSR donnington engine which is bored out to 1.9, karl shmitt pistons, polished & ported, high lift piper cams, induction kit and balanced crank  so it might sound different than yours if its standard.
sorry mate in rambling on here no I've no pics at the moment.
what part of UK are you?
Andy..

sounds like you have spent a fair bit of money on your car then! im from devon, i want to get a set of ronal turbo's for my car i think,
do you know of any places that sell them?

Sorry mate cant help there you might get lucky on ebay my wheels where cheap from motorworld with tyres and they look quite good i think will send you a pic when i get on my PC  as I'm on the laptop at the moment on the sofa nodding off zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz  must go to bed been up since 5am

Gorgeous car!  Love the colour and she looks super minted!   is that the original paint?  (sorry bit naive about that stuff)  ops:

top car love the colour
I always wanted a magnex for no other reason than you can say it's the same as an aston but the 3.5 tailpipe looks a abit big sounds nice deep not too loud I'll  probably go for a milltek

as for rims anthing polished to go with all that chrome you wont go wrong I'm also liking the retro black fox ones with diamond cut faces just now :dance:

i gave the car a good polish today, im going to try and clean the roof up abit tomorrow. anyone recomend anything to use on it??

I used "Muc Off"  sort of pink stuff in a spray bottle, to clean it with and a stiff scrubbing brush.  I am sure you can get it at Halfords the muc off stuff.  

Then covered the whole roof with half a bottle of clear bumper gel.  my roof is pvc, and it looks great now…deep joy!!   8)

Hi there and welcome! I LOVE the colour of your cab!  

I use Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care on my hood after I've washed the car - it gets the ingrained muck off and protects the vinyl too! When I've done it I usually get comments like 'Oh…you're roof's blue then? I always thought it was black!'  ops:
