you lazy git Martin...you know enough places to source those bits!!!

Balance Motorsport sells the WALK. I'm sure you can fit those yourself!

Coilovers..depends which ones you want.

VWR spoiler...VWR themselves i guess. I could get that for you actually and bring it to GTI with me??

the rieger one is exactly the same as the VWR one, i dont know why VWR have copied it and named it VWR splitter but....

anyways. its available from Frank at Orangetuning.de at the cheapest price, i just orderd my second and cost me 200euro deliverd, dan also orderd one.

i cant recomend orange tuning enough, top bloke and very helpful, always replys to email rather quickly. f anybody wants the splitter for a lil cheaper then just drop him an email and mention my name, he may give you free postage.  :smiley:

it comes smooth ready for paint but comes black plastic, im not painting mine this time as ive seen a few that havnt been painted and the look is growing on me, its more of a 'race' look imo  :smiley:

TBH i dont, but the rieger one has been about for many many years, theres even a splitter for the mk4 with the same'ish design. whereas the VWR one has only come to light (afaik) within the last 3-6 months.

The VWR one has also been around a few years, I remember seeing it on a VWR GTI @ Inters in 2006.

fitted my ipod lead today which is great . i ended up putting the lead in the drinks holder bit in the centre consol as you can hide the ipod with the shutter and it is easy to use . is there any t-pieces that you can use to have both the ipod lead and multichanger working at the same time (i know not at the same time lol) or is there anything that will fit in my arm rest when/if i remove the changer from there . still not recived the other bits tho :(
