Mike, go with a hybrid turbo if your not going BT. Absolutely unbelievable, pulls so hard you run out of revs :-)

More by the set of Black TDs Ive had for 3 years  :P 

So used to the black / red theme that silver still looks a bit odd, but its growing on me

Excellent stuff Mike.

You're giving me bad thoughts of buying my old Mk5 back off my Dad and turning it into a track weapon.

Have to say I'd definitely go back to black or anthracite on the wheels too.

I think the silver works really well (they are probably my fav. wheels anyway)... it also gives the car a totally different appearance track vs road :happy2:

Thanks mate  :smiley: :happy2:

It's certainly in the pipeline.  The TDs for track are still gloss black, the Turinis in sliver are growing on me but would be good in black to match the other accents on the car.

They looked really odd to me at 1st but have grown on me loads.  I'm wondering if anthracite (have you seen Alex's?) will match right with the other gloss black bits

Yes... that colour would work also. I think wheels get a bit 'lost' in black.
