Cheers guys,
I think the Vwrs are currently out of stock ? or they where last week when i was looking at there website,

Yes good to meet you Hurdy at the RR Day your car is awesome,

Not sure of the weight of the vwrs they feel about the same as the Monzas, (not a lightweight racing wheel)

Milltek,Brakes and Led rear lights next me thinks

Been holding out for Milltek to bring the twin centre pipes out for the mk6, hopefully shouldn't be too long now the R is out ?
Title: Re: My Mk6 Tornado Red Gti
Post by: NB07 on February 17, 2010, 07:24:20 pm
nice wheels.  :happy2:

have to say i love the new gti looks more than the R, i would keep the pipes out in the corners rather than in the middle looks much better IMO  :smiley:

Mine is Dsg and no problems at all, the car is a totally different animal when Revo'd,
Just have to be gentle on the gas pedal in this weather,
DSG soooo smooth  :happy2:

I'm not a great fan of the Mk6 but they do cosmetically improve hugely when modified (thinking of SteveP's as well).

Your red one is looking very good. :happy2:

Thanx for all the kind remarks, it shows several bulb out warning lights but a quick tick on vagcom sorts it out  :smiley:
The standard rear lights on the MY11s are the cherry red leds i think not the darkened R rears :wink:

....Usually yes - Chavvy. Occasionally gets away with it if it's strictly only a spacing mod and on a cool car. I saw *S3 OOOU* on a black S3 yesterday which looked cool. But soon after (both on M5) I saw a plate totally altered to read a person's name and thought how pretentious.

....I want to go to another private trackday on the 'Ring in August but it was expensive (but very worth it) and I don't know yet if I'll have the dosh. Also, my 'room-mate' Hurdy can't make it and that helps each of us with the costs. Otherwise, I'll be looking out for a trip with the forum guys here but I've become a bit spoilt about Touristfahrten days and think I'd rather save for another trackday.
