My Golf Variant 2.0TSI DSG

Clarkj93:
Very nice.

In terms of mods, if it were me and I'm sure no one cares what I think haha it would be: gti front end, some edition 30 or other set of nice wheels, de chrome and de badge, exhaust or just exhaust tips and some quality dampers and springs like b12 sportline and paint those calipers black or red or something. Job done.

Marneus:
Well…. I’ve not done much to the car this year except drive it. I swapped the chrome grill out for a gloss black one from a GT, put my plate on & mounted it with some plate holders.  I’ve been using it for work & have done nearly 22k miles in it since January (44,300 in Jan & currently coming up to 66,000)
It’s been faultless & my only expenses besides fuel (averaged 34.8mpg over the last year) has been servicing. I’m really enjoying it & I love the DSG far more than I ever thought I would, it’s awesome when I’m trundling through London in auto mode but once some interesting roads come up the manual mode changes the character of the car.

I’ve sourced a van for work and will probably be selling my Mk3 Golf as I much prefer driving this so after Christmas the mods will commence.
New wheels
Koni STR-T kit
Brembo front brakes
Exhaust so I can actually hear the engine
Stage 1 for engine & DSG
Different front bumper
Possibly new seats.

Haven’t taken any recent photos & the car is filthy  :grin:

OllieL:
Hopefully getting one of these myself

Any quirks to know about the estate?

Have you found an exhaust off the shelf? I have one of these and had settle myself for just a Ram Air cold air kit for a bit more engine noise.
